- Comments: The heart of all Indian cuisine is the masala, the combination of herbs and spices which gives each dish its individuality. One of the most commonly used masalas is a finely blended curry. The ability to mix and choose spices with subtlety is the mark of a master of Indian cookery. East Indian cuisine combines spicy and subtle flavors for unique eating pleasure.
