Why indian food is spicy

Indian food is often considered spicy because it is typically made with a variety of spicy herbs and spices, such as cumin, coriander, mustard seeds, and chilli peppers. These spices are used to add flavour, heat, and complexity to Indian dishes.

Additionally, some Indian dishes, particularly those from certain regions, are known for their use of particularly spicy ingredients, such as ghost pepper and scotch bonnet peppers.

However, it’s worth noting that not all Indian food is spicy, and there are many Indian dishes that are mild or only slightly spiced. It’s also common for Indian restaurants to offer a range of spice levels, so you can choose a dish that suits your preferred level of spiciness.
