FOOD. As an Indian, who has lived here all my life, I still cannot vouch for the fact that I have tasted even half the food this country has to offer. Not even a quarter, in fact. Then again, food so familiar to us- that it gives us a sense of comfort and belonging, is looked upon as strange, new and exciting by others. The experience of Indian food is one which is gastronomically synesthetic. It involves all the senses and pleasures all the senses. Which is why Indians eat with their hand. The colors, the richness, the flavor and the beauty of the slow, unhurried style of Indian cooking, to me makes the Indian cuisine one of the best in the world. But that is just me.

Watch as a group of Americans take on Indian food and desserts and become slightly flummoxed in the process. Then go and watch all the Buzzfeed videos in the series. Also, they eat Pani Puri without the Pani - which is blasphemous, in my opinion, but that poor guy who was panting throughout is testimony to how spicy Indian food can really be. But that is exactly why we love it, is it not? Also, they loved the jalebis, so all is forgiven.

Thinking of Indian food make mouth watering. In fact making food was/is a branch of learning in our "sasthras'. Paka-sasthra is about making food and 'Shad-ruchulu' (six-tastes) is about variations in tastes. Indian foods are unique in the world.
ReplyDeleteI do not know much about Indian food as I have not tasted all the varieties. But I have tasted most of south Indians dishes which makes my mouth water just by listening their names. Indians can never be commented bad about in any part of the world just like tat Indian food is special and no other food CNN ever match it.
ReplyDeleteIndian food is the best! The very thought of it can make your mouth water! Can never get enough of it.... Haven't tasted every variety but will do!
ReplyDeleteBeing the daughter of a hotelier I can relate to Indian foods..
ReplyDeleteAccording to me this is the best cuisine
No matter how complicated or simple it's lip smacking..
But hey that's my opinion..
Indian food is different from rest of the world not only in taste but also in cooking methods. It reflects a perfect blend of various cultures and ages. Just like Indian culture, food in India has also been influenced by various civilizations, which have contributed their share in its overall development and the present form. I have little idea about the different verities of Indian food....but just love the feeling I get when I hear the word
ReplyDeleteINDIAN FOOD!!! Its just aewsome. Though i have not tasted every dish in India, each one has its own flavour and touch. Each state in India has something special of their food.

Foods of India are better known for its spiciness. Throughout India, be it North India or South India, spices are used generously in food. But one must not forget that every single spice used in Indian dishes carries some or the other nutritional as well as medicinal properties.

Indian food..... Especially south Indian cuisine is an ocean of mouth watering and amazing recipes. A mixture of both traditional and modern recipes. It has wide diversity in itself. From simple idly vada to complex hyderabadi biriyani. I bet that no other cuisine can beat south Indian food.
