The influence of Korean cuisine on the Indian palate is crazy and extensive. Thanks to growing globalization and social media, with the growing diaspora of Korean cuisine among youth, it has led to cultural appreciation where fusion and intermingling of food has taken place. With growing love for K pop and K drama, people have started replicating their fashion, styles and food habits, resulting in growing demand and love for Korean noodles, spices and ingredients which have found their way in Indian kitchens. Fusion food is a deliberate combination of elements of two or more distinct cuisines to create something different and delectable. The desirable outcome is to inject their own unique identity into other cuisine. The Indian palate’s obsession with Korean food is insane, resulting in a global trend of culinary diversity and exploration.
