Cookery, Indic would be cuisine of India.
Cookery, Indian => Indian cookery, would be cuisine of Indians of North America.
Cookery, Indic--Calcutta style would be Indic cuisine of the region of Calcutta.
Cookery--India--Calcutta; Cookery--India; Cookery--India--[place] would be cooking etc. found in that place, regardless of the origin of the food. For example, a book about restaurants in Calcutta (not necessarily limited to Indic restaurants--so French, Italian, American, etc.).
