India is a huge, diverse, and multicultural country. Not surprisingly, often in neighboring states, traditional cuisine is very different. Most Indian gastronomic recipes combine several flavors at once, which may seem strange to an unprepared person.
According to Indian beliefs, the sweet taste gives a feeling of fullness, the salty one gives the energy necessary for the body, and the spicy one has healing properties that are characteristic of spices.
Astringent taste helps the body get rid of toxic, harmful substances and prevents the appearance of obesity.
