The climate and geography of India have played a significant role in shaping its cooking traditions. In the southern states, where the climate is hot and humid, coconut and tamarind are commonly used in cooking, while in the northern states, where the climate is cooler and drier, wheat and dairy products are more prevalent. The coastal regions, with their abundance of seafood, have developed a cuisine that is rich in fish and other seafood dishes.
