With their intoxicating spices and complex flavours, Indian curries are enjoyed the world over.

Now, in a study of more than 2,000 recipes, scientists have discovered the secret behind curry's popularity on a molecular level.

They claim that unlike Western dishes that tend to pair similar flavours together - such as beer and beef - Indian dishes use at least seven ingredients that do not contain overlapping flavours.

In Indian dishes, the more overlap two ingredients have in flavour, the less likely they are to appear in the same Indian dish, the scientists said.

Researchers believe this makes the dish more tasty as the ingredients each bring their own unique flavour to the dish, rather than simply blending in.

Out of the 381 cooking ingredients in the world, the research team from that Indian food uses 200 in their cuisine.

'Each of the spices is uniquely placed in its recipe to shape the flavour sharing pattern with rest of the ingredients,' the researchers said.
