Why Indian & Pakistani foods are so spicy?
 

Ever wondered why they are so spicy? why they love so spicy foods?
got answers? :D

It gives extra taste to foods and it good for lots of health problems that is why are why they are adding spicy to their foods.

They are spicy because the specific destination peoples are very addicted to spicy stuffs which are very tasty for them when spicy is added for their food.

Spice is in their tradition people their like spicy food plus their is a lot spice in that area anyways.

beacuase Indian and pakistanis having good taste of food the way they make food recipes is awesome I think they change the taste of food all over world specially in vegan foods.

Its their tradition and generally if they add something is their food its for some reason and not for taste...I was there in Pak and India for 3 months and put on extra weight..

Indian food gets its heat (spicyness) frm 3 major sources depending on the specific recipe:

1. red chili powder (the Indian stuff is HOT)
2. dried red chilies (the Indian variety)
3. fresh green chilies (small Thai birds)

These in large amounts will increase the spice level of any Indian dish. You can buy all of these at your local Indian grocery. The non Indian versions found at the regular supermarket just arent spicy enough! So if you like the spicy heat, buy the red chili powder/dried red chilies/fresh green chilies from the Indian grocery store.


Spices like turmeric, cumin, clove, coriander, garam masala add alot of flavor.

That depends entirely on what they are. For example, at almost all of
our local supermarkets here, you can buy habaÓero chiles and scotch
bonnets, both of which are *extremely* spicy--spicier than any of the
three you mention above.

Moreover, even if you use only jalapeÓo chiles, you can make a disk
almost as spicy as you want it to be by increasing the amount you put
in the dish.

I have been to both the places and I love both countries and their food ;).

There are many reasons for adding spices to their food. All for good and the defect I found was oil. They are adding more oil to their spicy curry but still it was good.
