There's a MUCH more scientific reason than this, we promise!
It's because the flavor compounds don't overlap, molecularly, as often as the flavors used in other types of cuisine!

So next time you sit down for a delicious Indian meal, thank your lucky stars that all of those flavor compounds are so different from one another. It's what makes the meal so phenomenal!
