Only an Indian can tell the importance of Indian spices. Meerut's son Rishabh Gupta is
talking about the use of local spices in foreign food. An expert in indigenous spices,
Rishabh is the head chef of a French fusion restaurant in New York. In a seminar held
there, he told that the fragrance of our spices had reached foreign countries centuries
ago, after which the flavor of Indian spices started being felt in foreign countries also.
Black pepper was even called black gold. Today black pepper is used more in Italian,
Chinese and Thai food than in Indian cuisine. After gaining expertise in Indian spices,
Chef Rishabh Gupta, resident of Lal Tirupati Heights Roorkee Road, Meerut, is now
giving information about Indian spices to the food experts of hotels and restaurants in
the country and abroad. Rishabh gave information about Indian spices and cooking in
the seminar. Rishabh said that Indian food is included in the delicious cuisine of the
world because of its spices. We have been using different types of spices and oils in
food for centuries to make food tasty and healthy. No foreign dish can be prepared
without our black pepper. It is used prominently in Chinese, Indonesian, Italian and Thai
food. That is why it has also been called black gold. Rishabh told that along with the
spices in Indian food, cooking these spices for the right time is also an art, which
enhances the taste of our food.
