List of Indian spices Indian spices Indian spices include a variety of spices grown across the Indian subcontinent (a sub-region of South Asia). With different climates in different parts of the country, India produces a variety of spices, many of which are native to the Subcontinent, while others were imported from similar climates and have since been cultivated locally for centuries. Spices are used in different forms - whole, chopped, ground, roasted, sauteed, fried and as topping. They blend food to extract the nutrients and bind them in a palatable form. Some spices are added at the end as a flavouring and are typically heated in a pan with ghee or cooking oil before being added to a dish.

Hyder Ali (c. 1722-1782)—the ruler of the Kingdom of Mysore until 1782—developed military rockets using metal cylinders to contain the combustion powder. History of metallurgy in the Indian subcontinent began prior to the 2nd millennium BCE and continued well into the British Raj.[1] Metals and related concepts were mentioned in various early Vedic age texts.
