The history of Indian cuisine is also dotted with tales of invasions, bustling trade relations, and colonial imprints, all contributing to a constantly evolving food palette. The introduction of New World vegetables and fruits like potatoes, tomatoes, chillies, peanuts, and guava during the Columbian exchange has seamlessly woven these ingredients into the fabric of Indian food traditions.
