Since time immemorial, India has witnessed the invasion of various kingdoms and their subsequent fall as well. Right from the historic rule of Mughals to the British dominion, each and every empire has left imprints of their culture which can clearly be felt on the cuisine of India. Indians are good connoisseurs of food and whether you are strolling on the busy streets of Chandni Chowk in Delhi or the Juhu Chowpatti in Mumbai; you will come across people enjoying their food by roadside vendors and stalls. India is not just about religious sites and picture-perfect scenic destinations; it is also about lip-smacking dishes and the various regional cuisines that you will come across during the cuisine tours.

The coastal dishes occupy a predominant position in the cuisine tours since India has a huge coastal stretch and you can take delight in the various dishes that the coastal state of Goa has to offer. The subtle Portuguese influence is also felt in the dishes. Some of the most famous ones are rich fruit cake, plum cake and more cake, biscuits and cookies, pork pies and sweet pies.
