Indian cuisine has been around for at least 2500-3000 years. It's one of the most sophisticated, diversified and mature cousins in the world. When it comes to India, few things immediately come to our mind 2nd most populous countries with billion over population, largest democracy and off course Indian Food. Kirti'sKitchen researched and found out that Indian cousin are one of the most popular cousins in the world. Well I will not debate on this as it is very subjective and emotional issue. But, all I know is that Indian cousin is liked globally and it's a part of millions of people's life from across the world.
As we all know the beauty of India lies in its diversity and so does the Indian Cousin. Indian food has astounding variety. Every state of India is known for it's wide selection of different recipes, cooking styles and tastes. The use of many different herbs and spices make each dish quite unique. However, all Indian recipes ends up with a delicious mouth watering dish.
Indian Cousin has its share of myths and misconceptions
Well like any good things Indian Cousin has also its share of myths and misconceptions. In my experience in meeting people from across the globe, every single one love Indian Food, but at the back of their mind lie some misconceptions. Well I have managed to pin-down their misconceptions by serving and educating them about Indian food. I have also included in my ebook Indian Cooking Made Easy. However, a large majority of world people still have following misconceptions:
Indian food is hot and spicy: Well not true! Let's talk about the hot aspect. Well this is with the use of chilly or chilli powder which can be added as per the preference or in fact totally neglected. Now, as far as the spicy aspect of Indian Food is concerned let me tell you most of the Indian Foods are cooked with 3-4 spices which are healthy.
Indian food is oily and unhealthy: Don't be scared with this as oil and fat are a matter of personal preference. You can cook a dish with 12 spoons of oil or 2 spoons of oil. Most of Indian food does not need heavy cheese or creams as in Pizzas, pastas, burgers and so on. Indian food also has grilled, steamed and boiled recipes for health conscious community. Most of the base spices in Indian Food like turmeric, ginger, garlic and green chillieshave Medicinal, and healing qualities. It benefits your health in many ways!
Indian food is difficult to cook and time consuming: Well anything is difficult and time consuming when you do not know how to do it the right way. Have you ever seen a kid doing-up a puzzle! He might take up 1 hour to do it first time but 2nd time is fast and eventually he will solve the puzzle in minutes. It's same with Indian Cooking. Many recipes are EASY and QUICK to prepare.
And the classic one - Indian Food is all about curry: Well this is really the classic one. "Indian Food = Curry". I have no idea where this came from but it's true all my Chinese, European, Malaysia, Singaporean, African and Central Asian friends believe that Indian Food is Curry. Its not True!! I guess its because people mistake Garam Masala as curry powder. Well folks,, Garam Masala is a collection of grinded or whole spices which are used to enhance the flavour and aroma of the food.
Besides this, Indian food had countless recipes that are not in curry flavour or style.
So friends erase these doubts and take a journey of Indian Food and I will assure you it will be an exciting, delicious and soul-filling.
