INDIANS are known for their weakness for food. And why not ? Which single country can boast of so many styles of cuisines happily co-existing side by side? It is also reflected in the other love of the  countrymen- films, many of them named after condiments.
 
What do films like Mirch Masala, Garam Masala, Cheeni Kum, Hope and a Little Sugar, and Chocolate have in common?

The films are as different as chalk from cheese but they generously borrow an ingredient of food for their titles even though this spice or condiment has nothing to do with the theme or story except in rare cases.

Perhaps they are pointers to the average Indian's passion for food and everything that goes into its making.
