Diverse Indian Recipes from www.mydish.co.uk
Just like its culture, tradition and topographies, food in India also varies with different states. Every region of India has its own style of cooking and preparing dishes. Using some special herbs and spices, renowned for their taste all over the world, Indian food offers a unique taste in every dish. In general, the food prepared in India differs because of climatic conditions and vegetation of the particular region.
Indian recipes can be categorized broadly into five groups: Central, Eastern, Western, Southern and North Indian recipes.
Indian Recipes from Central India are perfect combinations of a sweet and salty taste. Most of the recipes of Central India have been adopted from other states. Wheat is widely used in central states with yellow lentil. In many areas, dishes made of rice and fish are widely prepared by many households. These recipes are not complete without sweets prepared in this region. Mouthwatering cashew and dairy sweets and a special lentil pudding complete the Central Indian taste.
The eastern region recipes in India are largely comprised of seafood and rice prepared in mustard or coconut oil. There is also a wide use cashew paste or poppy seeds’ paste for thickening the curries prepared. Eastern dishes offer a blend of vegetarian as well as non-vegetarian savories. Sweets prepared in these regions are popular in almost whole of the country, such as West Bengal is famous for preparing Rasgullas.
Staple food items in the western region are rice, wheat, bajra and jowar. Western Indian recipes are renowned for their spicy and tangy taste. The state of Gujarat mostly practices vegetarianism due to widespread Jainism. In other states, such as Maharashtra, non-vegetarian dishes including the seafood are also prepared. Rajasthani dishes are also famous for their spices and delicious meals, such as ‘dal bati choorma.
The hot and humid climate of the Southern region in India, with a coastal topography blesses with lots of fresh vegetables, fruits and crops like rice. Rice is the staple diet of most of the South Indian states, which is never complete without a variety of pickles, chutneys and papads (papaddams). Seafood other than fish is widely consumed by people in this region. Hyderabadi Biryani (often non-vegetarian), sambhar, Dosai and idly are some of the very famous South Indian savories. http://www.mydish.co.uk
North Indian food preparation is associated with a generous use of sausages, butter, spices and dry-fruits. These dishes reflect the ancient Mughal taste that is never complete without non-vegetarian dishes. Northern recipes such as those in Punjab are primarily based on their staple food, wheat. In addition, corn flour, vegetables and fruits are also used for cooking. Dairy products, such as lassi complete the North Indian relishing taste.
