Question

What would the difference and similarity be between indian and french food?

Answer 1

i would say the similarity would be that they both cook in alot of sauce, and the difference, indian cuisine is very spicy and very hot.

Answer 2

its a hard question!

Indian food tends to be a highly spiced cuisine. French tends to depend on delicate flavours.

Answer 3

Similarities:  use of salt, pepper, vinegar (Goan dishes)

Differences: use of spices, cooking methods & techniques
