Unlike in other country, India considers cooking as a form of art and mothers teach their daughters from a fairly young age how to cook and pass down family recipes in a way of handing out knowledge and information and at the same time, showing the right things to do. In fact, food is a very serious matter when it comes to business, that’s how important the food in India is. 

From the history of this country up to the modern age, in most Indian homes even when women work outside the home, there should be at least someone who knows how to cook and prepare their meals, and the other one should plan what to cook next. Indian meals consists of several dishes, a dessert and a staple food  like rice or roti commonly know as chapati, a flat bread that is a staple in India and its subcontinents such as Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, to name just a few.
