Indian food is popular worldwide, and is famous for its distinct flavors and spices. Turns out there's an explanation for why it's so good - or rather, why it's so unique.
An article from the Washington Post explains that a study was conducted of over 2,000 popular Indian recipes. They looked at the ingredients used in the dishes, and then compared their flavor profiles. There's a lot of science behind this, and the article explains it in detail.
As it turns out, Indian food tends to mix ingredients that have little to no overlap in terms of how they taste. As a result, every ingredient has a purpose in the dish, and they all contribute to the overall flavor. This is contrary to most Western styles of food, where the idea is to put similar flavors together in the same dish. The idea is to make something where the ingredients compliment each other rather than contrasting Just shows that there are plenty of ways to make something taste good.
