The most important thing that people forget when travelling to India is that the people over there take their cooking very seriously and they take great pride in all of their spices, vegetables and sauces. To Indian people they will always take a lot of pride in cooking no matter how small or large their restaurant is and no matter where it is either. It is arguable that the ingredients themselves might not exactly be fresh but the food is always cooked which is the main thing. Some of the nicest grub you can get is over in India and I would not hesitate for five minutes in getting a flight back over there again. Some excellent dishes to look out for are the vegetable kofta, the peenh and the Kata. All of these dishes are so tasty and they are available all over India. Mainly, the North of India will serve a lot of vegetable dishes while the South will offer you meat dishes.
For me as long as you use the rule of, “If it’s hot – It’s OK”, you should be fine. The best method is to stick your finger in the middle of the food and if you shout, "OWW!” then you should be OK. If you were asking me personally then I would always say to try and enjoy yourself and the cuisine of the country, otherwise you will never end up being fully involved in the culture.

However, India is not the only location to have some of the world’s spiciest food. Indian Restaurant from around the world varies in its ingredients and the amount of areas where you will find the spiciest ingredients are rare.

Yet on the other hand, the US has a very good stab at playing host to some of the world's most spicy food. In Chicago, Illinois the “Hot Suicide Wings” require a disclaimer before even eating them! They are chicken wings made with a red sauce made from the Red Savina Habanero which is a pepper grown in Mexico.

Second in line is the infamous “Devil Pork Curry” which is made in Malaysia. It is quite like the Vindaloo that many people like but instead it is made out of mustard, vinegar and chillies!
Thirdly we have the “Hot Pot Sichuan Province” which is made in the heart of China. The lovely looking dish is extremely deceitful in its appearance as it truly is one of the most spicy dishes on earth! The dish is comprised of numerous meats and vegetables however the most notable and potent add on is the Sichuan flower which produces a numbing effect when you eat it.

Finishing up we have one the most recent and spicy dishes to date. The sweltering Korean stew known as “Kimchi Jjigae” is made from Tofu, Pork, Scallions and Seafood but the base of Kimchi is a spicy pickled garnish made from Cantonese Beaechu. However the real triumph is the sheer quantity of chillies that they chuck into the pot for good measure. They are dried red chilli peppers which form a near lethal combination during pickling process with the piquant cabbage.

India’s religious beliefs and culture have played a massive part in the evolution of their cuisine. There is a strong claim that curry originated from India and their influence on cuisine has affected the entire globe especially South East Asia. It is said that Indian food is arguable one of the most favourite dishes in the world mainly thanks to its enormously long history and heritage.

Bengali cooking, though known for its non vegetarian delicacies,surprisingly it also has some fantastic vegetarian foods hat can be real palate pleasers. There are other regions of the country that have a lot more to offer too when it comes to meatless dishes.

Cauliflower is also a really common ingredient in Indian vegetarian foods.

There are numerous kinds of protein rich Indian dishes that include different types of bean and legume, from lentils to mung beans to chickpeas, a type of cottage cheese called paneer that doesn’t melt when heated, yogurt, creams, and nuts like cashews and almonds. Also Egg curries made from whole or half hard boiled egg exist, though there preparation is limited to only some special occasions.

Many Indian breads are also vegetarian, and some include delicious fillings. Choose onion and garlic filled paratha, potato fillings or paneer, or a fluffy piece of naan or a thin roti. Starches of other types are available too. In addition to the potatoes you’ll find in many dishes, you can also enjoy rice biryanis, idli and dosa made from fermented rice and lentil batter, and puffy fried puris with onions and flavorful sauces.
