What has this question got to do with computers?\n\nAny way your question reformatted:-\n\nWhat are the uses of Indian Spices and why do Indians consume so much spices in their food?\n\nFirstly, Indians use spices to add flavor for the food.\n\nSecondly:- For the fragrance.\n\nThirdly:- For medication.

Oh my goodness this is soo funny.  Thank you so much for letting me tell this story.  Okay so awhile back one of my good friends Jorge (who's Mexican), his (now) wife (who is generally fairly quiet) and I were driving to a movie and my friend pondered outloud, "did you ever notice how different cultures smell like the foods they eat?"  I sort of tentatively muttered in the affirmative and he continued, "Mexicans smell like burritos.  Asians smell like fish.  Indians smell like curry."  We all laughed. Then I wondered and asked, "what do white people smell like?" Without skipping a beat, Fatima immediately replied, "sandwiches."\n\nOhhhhohohhhooooooooohh!!!!!! Did we laaaugh!!! And it's sooooo true!!!! If there is any cultural food of caucasians it has to be the sandwich.  Think.. PB&J. Hamburgers, Hot dogs, subs, philly cheese steaks.  They are all sandwiches of one sort or another!!!!!\n\nWe smell like sandwiches. Mystery solved. ROFLMAO

The heat in spicy foods is caused by capsaicin.  It is a phenolic amide that is oily in nature.   Hot water cuts oil better than cold water.  Water physically removes the capsaicin.  Sugar will also cut the heat of the capsaicin by reacting chemically with it to form a less irritating material.\n\nAs an aside, it is possible to become mildly addicted to capsaicin in the same way that a runner can become addicted to running.  In both cases the activity of either running or consuming capsaicin containing foods causes your body to produce endorphins.  Endorphins are responsible for the "high" that runners and consumers of capsaicin get.

I think ginger is a spice, not an herb.\n\nBesides all its medicinal qualities, it tastes good in some dishes.

I think chili peppers are one of those things that fall under the category of "herbs" as far as science is concerned.  This means they may not have really tested it.  But what we have are years and years of peoples' experiences.  It is said that chili pepper can bolster the immune system and also can cause endorphins to be released, which can serve as a slight pain reliever and mood enhancer.  But they also can irritate the lining of your stomach and cause esophageal reflux.  Some people can tolerate hot spicy food more than others.  \n\nOther than the chili peppers, there are many very beneficial spices in Indian food.  Turmeric is an excellent digestive aid.  Turmeric is the ingredient in curry which makes it yellow.  Fenugreek, fennel seeds, cumin seeds, cardamom - all of these have a reputation for health benefits.  These are regular ingredients in Indian food.  I am not as familiar with Thai.\n\nAnother great thing about Indian food is they use a lot of vegetables, and that in itself is healthy.

I doubt it. Indian food is very different from American food. Indians eat a different kind of snack from Americans. Many Indians are vegetarian. Indians in European countries always complain that European food doesn't taste of anything. I don't think the standard Kentucky Lumps of Lard product would have much of a chance.

Sometimes, but not very often. What I rather do is slip them off under the table in a romantic restaurant and put them in my husband's pocket. I believe that salt and pepper should not be the only spice at dinner time.

Love it! It is primarily very thick and spicy stews. Some of them are vegetarian. They have a very nice way of presenting then: They take a large dish and they line it with a soft sponge line bread called njera(sp?). They they put on the njera heaps of these stews. You are supposed to cut a piece of njera use it to scoop up your stew and eat it. It's great

Some Indians drink cow's urine. It's some religious practice they have and it's very sacred!
