Most Indian cuisines are related by similiar usage of spices.
Often, Indian cooking is distinguished by the use of a larger
variety of vegetables than many other well-known cuisines.
Within these recognisable similarities, there is an enormous
variety of local styles.
Modern India is going through a period of rapid culinary
evolution. With urbanisation and the consequent evolution
of patterns of living, home-cooked food has become simpler.
Old recipes are recalled more often than used. The number
of influential restuarants have served the purpose of preserving
some of this culinary heritage at the cost of homogenising
palates. Meanwhile restaurants, increasingly popular, encourage
mixing of styles. Tandoori fish, mutton dosas and Jain pizzas
are immediately recognisable by many Indians in cities. |
Whether your would like to try a delicious
curry for the first time, or you are considered yourself as
a 'curry' connoisseur, we all need to increase our understanding
and appreciation of 'Indian' Cuisine to the grass roots level.
The Indian tastes are waiting for you to enjoy. |
