One thing that put India on the map was the production of Saffron “Kesar” and the pepper. The spice land of the world has great knowledge of “masalas” so much so that every kingdom i.e. the “Raj Gharanas” that existed in the ancient times and some even today, had a special “bawarchi” aka chef just to blend and create flavours from the different spices found on their regional lands. You can taste and have the essence of such spices in Punjab at Best Amritsari Food Restaurant in Amritsar.
Every region, state, a city in India is tagged with some kind of spice production. Pepper and Saffron are the most expensive spices in the entire world and the maximum production of both is from India. People use saffron in “kheers” i.e. the thick rice pudding, “ras malai” i.e. the cottage cheese balls dipped in saffron milk and lot more. You will find these sweets in every restaurant and sweet shops throughout the continent.

The culture of Amritsar is so enriching that people admire them for their nature, dressing, way of talking and food. The famous Golden temple aka “Harmandir Sahib” adds to the glory of Amritsar. The “langars” food halls in the Gurudwaras are just awesome. The aromas coming out of the langar halls are simply mouthwatering. All over the world the “daals” i.e. the lentil curries or lentil soups are famous for the flavours they exude. The “Garam Masala” has hit export markets with great demand and monitory benefits.
