There are so many spices which are used in Indian cooking of which the gentleman above would not be knowing. It is not just pepper, chilli etc there are so many ingredients used for cooking it is mind blowing. We have so many plants and roots in addition to fruits which are used in cooking. Even making sweets we have a wide variety. All these are having medicinal values and were being handed down over thousands of years. many of them are mentioned in Vedas and used in Ayurveda. A small correction to the person who has mentioned that pepper is from south America. If yo study history Greeks and Roman came to south India for pepper and spices and paid in gold. Same is the case with English (British), Portuguese, French and Dutch to come to India.<br><b>References : </b><br> Yes.
