Indian cuisine still receives limited global recognition in fine-dining circles despite growing efforts to document and promote regional food, according to the report. Chefs and culinary experts describe a push to showcase “micro cuisines” and lesser-known indigenous ingredients, aiming to move beyond widely recognized dishes and stereotypes. The article says mainstream luxury dining tends to favor a Eurocentric menu framework, which can reduce opportunities for Indian cuisines to be positioned as part of high-end gastronomy. Experts cited emphasize that Indian cuisine has a wider range than commonly portrayed—beyond being characterized only as spicy or hearty—and argue that it belongs in the fine dining world. The discussion centers on how greater visibility of regional practices, ingredients, and culinary techniques could help reshape international perceptions and broaden what global diners consider representative of Indian cooking.
