A colorful cuisine.
It’s no secret that India is a uniquely diverse country. Just like language and culture, the cuisine and food preferences also vary from one state to another. Yes, you heard it right. This also provides the opportunity for foodies to try out different flavors. For them, it’s a welcome change from cuisines that are more familiar. And like anywhere else in the world, there are some secret recipes that are passed on from one generation to the next.
“In India, the spice levels vary quite a bit. “
If you thought the variations are just in terms of cuisine, think again. There’s something more to it. In India, the spice levels vary quite a bit. It’s important to note that Andhra cuisine is known for being spicier than the rest. Another unique situation is when there is the same dish, yet it has a huge difference in taste based on its home state. A fine example is Sambhar, which tastes sweet in the state of Karnataka while it’s hot and fragrant in Tamil nadu. Punjabi food is world famous for its rich creamy gravies (curries) coupled with fresh from the grill tandoori Indian breads: Naan, Kulcha, Roti and Paratha (Tawa). It also boasts of some of the best street foods in the world: Chole bhature, Amritsari Kulcha with Chole.
“Many people are interested to learn that most Indians prefer eating with their hands instead of utensils.”
There are more than enough options to satisfy everyone’s taste buds. When it comes to desserts, bengali sweets are the most famous. There are sweets of every conceivable variety. The ingredients include ghee, saffron, pista, and jaggery, among many others. Thirunelvi halwa, Laddu, Jalebi, and Gulab Jamun deserve a special mention. Dry fruits add a new twist to the already flavourful dishes.
Staple foods in Southern Indian cuisine include white rice, chapathi with plenty of sides such as rasam, kootu, poriyal, kolambu, dal, kuruma, etc. While in Northern Indian cuisine it is Roti, Chawal, Paneer, Dal, Rajma, etc. In general, you can find plenty of vegetables on the table in both types of cuisine. Variety rice such as Bisi Bele bath, Pulao, Jeera rice, and lemon rice are also eaten a couple of times a week. Southern Indian cuisine includes dishes such as Dosa, Oothappam, Idly, Pongal, Vada, Upma, rava kesari, Sambhar, and Chutney for breakfast. While in other parts of the country, dishes such as Stuffed paratha (Aloo/Gobi/Paneer etc.) with curd and Poha are more widely consumed. Milk/Tea/Coffee is a must have – at least twice a day.
“Indians love their evening snack, too. “
Indians love their evening snack, too. From people working in offices to blue collars to school students, the evening snack with a hot drink (tea/coffee/flavoured milk) acts as the much needed energy booster for the rest of the evening. There are several options: Samosa, cutlet, puffs, numerous chaat items, vada pav (Bombay’s version of burger), bajji, bonda, pakoda etc.
Indians are spoiled with a variety of culinary choices in the country. Furthermore, there is Gen-Z, many of whom love exploring cuisines from many other parts of the world, much thanks to globalization. Italian, Continental, Oriental and Arabian are the most common ones. There are so many cafes and restaurants in Metros: Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and more that specialize in one or more of these exotic cuisines. You can find restaurants that serve pizza and burgers even in small and remote towns. Danish and French pastries have a lot of fans, too. Anglo-Indians form a sizable population and they still follow their continental cuisine at home.
“Finally, the most loved dishes in the country are Biryani and masala dosa.”
Finally, the most loved dishes in the country are Biryani and masala dosa. Biriyani has its roots from Persia and it is the mughals who brought this dish to India. If ever you want to try myriad flavours in just one dish, biriyani is the one. More specifically, dum biryani contains spices such as pista, cardamom, and clove to name a few. They are combined with the main ingredients: meat/vegetables/paneer and cooked slowly in a pot to create the unbeatable “dum” flavour.
From whichever part of the world you read this article from, I can guarantee you that there is an Indian restaurant in some corner of your town. Go and try some of the dishes I mentioned above (or those that I missed). Let us know how it goes in the comments below. Happy eating!
