Before the British people arrived in India, It was known as Bharat. Mughal attacked on Hindus. Moreover, ruled over India for a long time. Slowly People of different culture mixed up and they started exchanging and taking each other's habits and practice. There was deep difference between both cultures. Especially food and eating style was quite different, it was not a question of being vegetarian or non-vegetarian, but cultural difference was the main cause of controversy. Now Mughalai recipes are modified in quite useful way for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians, because the spices required where literally the same so as the cooking style.

In addition, some of the spices like Melon seeds, poppy seeds, Cashew Nut, Almonds, Saffron, Cardamom, Brown Cardamom, Cinnamon sticks, Mango Powder, and Asafetida, this are quit common spices in both traditions.
