Central to the evolution of Indian cuisine is the influence of the Mughal Empire, which introduced Middle Eastern and Central Asian cooking techniques to the subcontinent. Another significant event in the history of Indian cuisine was the arrival of the British Raj, which led to a fusion of Anglo-Indian cuisine. Curries, for example, are a direct result of this cultural exchange. Today, Indian cuisine is characterized by its use of spices and herbs, as well as its distinctive taste and aroma. While there are regional variations, Indian cuisine is generally categorized into four main types: North Indian, South Indian, East Indian, and West Indian.
