The staple food crop of northern region of India is wheat. A typical traditional north Indian balanced diet would consist of Roti (baked wheat pancakes) or Parathas (wheat pancake stuffed with mashed vegetables) served with dal, which is a watery preparation of pulses. North India also uses milk and other dairy products in their daily diet. Yogurt, milk, ghee (clarified butter), butter and paneer (cottage cheese) are widely used in most dishes along with spices. The non-vegetarian variety is highly inspired from the Mughlai cuisine and is absolutely delicious.
South Indian Food

The southern food is ruled by rice and preparations made from rice. It is light and easily digested. A main ingredient used in most dishes is grated coconut or coconut oil, A typical south Indian meal would consist of rice served with piping hot sambhar (vegetable gravy with pulses), rasam (soup like preparation), curd and pickles along with atleast two different varieties of vegetables prepared in two different styles. A light crisp item called "pappadam" for occasional crunching in between is also served.
Other very popular south Indian preparation for breakfast are dosa (fermented rice pancakes), idli (steamed rice cakes), Vada (fried doughnut like items that are not sweet)
Most non-vegetarian dishes have fish as the main ingredient and other forms of sea food.
East Indian Food
----------------------
Most east Indians have an innate bond with anything sweet. The eastern region of India is famous for some of the most popular sweets.
Rice dominates the main meals and the oil used in cooking is usually mustard oil. Some very popular dishes are momos, jhaal muri, macherjhol (fish curry), thukpa (soup preparation)
West Indian Food
-----------------------
The western region of India has a wide range of dishes to offer. The Rajasthani cuisine has less of vegetables because of the desert like conditions but they have a wide variety of spicy chutneys and pickles. The people in Gujarat add a pinch of sugar to almost every dish. The typical Gujrati "thali" consists of atleast 10 different varieties of vegetables alone! The people of Maharashtra prepare a dish called "puran poli"
