Dal Makhni
Dal makhani is a classic Indian dish made with whole urad dal, rajma, butter and spices. It is one of the most popular lentil dishes originated in the Punjab region of India and Pakistan. Dhal or dal refers to lentils and makhani translates to buttery. Dal makhani literally means buttery dal.
History of the Dish
Dal makhani is a staple in the Indian subcontinent. It was popularized in India following when many people from Punjab migrated to the northern region of India. As the Punjabi diaspora migrated across India and internationally, the dish was introduced to new locales by entrepreneurial Punjabi migrants Kundan Lal Gujral, Thakur Dass and Kundan Lal Jaggi at their restaurant called Moti Mahal in the locality of Daryaganj, Delhi, India.
Kundan Lal Jaggi is the inventor of Dal makhani. This dish was first created by Punjabis and is now recognized as a quintessentially Indian dish, and variations of the dish are served in many different restaurants internationally. Dal makhani's popularity is due in part to its versatility in a meal: the rich vegetarian dish can be served as a main meal, included as part of a buffet (thali), or used as an accompaniment to a meal. In India, soups and with a red or yellow lentil base are an important staple.
Naan
Naan is a leavened flatbread made in some countries in Asia. These bread are baked in a tandoor ( a cylindrical oven made of clay) is also popular in India and is served in almost all restaurants. ... It is Roti or chapati (unleavened flatbread made from whole wheat flour) that is made on a regular basis.
The flour can be kneaded with a variety of spices and herbs, like garlic, coriander, etc. One of the most popular versions is the butter naan which is not just kneaded with butter but has a generous slathering on top when served. The stuffed ones are called kulcha.
History of Dish
Due to its pairing with Mughlai and North Frontier cuisine, many believe Naan, like kebabs that came from Persia, was developed by the Persians and the Mughals. However, the first recorded history of Naan found in the notes of the Indo-Persian poet Amir Kushrau, dates this unleavened bread to 1300 AD.
Kebabs
Kebabs are various cooked meat dishes, with their origins in Middle Eastern cuisine. Many variants are popular around the world. The traditional meat for kebabs is most often mutton or lamb, but regional recipes may include beef, goat, chicken, fish, or more rarely due to religious prohibitions, pork.
The Mughals were the absolute masters of the kitchen when it came to meat. They introduced the art of making kebabs to India and from here it was taken all over the world. A great favourite in Britain, kebabs are loved by patrons all over. Minced meat is combined with a variety of spices and then cooked in skewers over a charcoal fire. What results is succulent, delicious meat infused with a host of flavours that can enjoy as snacks or with flatbreads like roomali rotis or naan. Made most commonly with mutton or beef, it can also be made with fish or chicken.
History of Dis
According to the tradition, the dish was invented by medieval soldiers who used their swords to grill meat over open-field fires. In Turkey, shish kebab does not normally contain vegetables, though they may be cooked on a separate skewer. It can be prepared with lamb, beef, chicken, or fish, but pork is not used.
South Indian Food
South Indian fare has set up firm roots all over the world. While many places serve South Indian food exclusively, most Indian restaurants abroad serve the basic rice flour idli and dosa. Soft, steamed idlis are not just extremely healthy, but are absolutely delicious with coconut chutney and sambhar. Crispy fried dosas are a breakfast favourite and can be made to accompany practically any gravy. Though traditionally made with coconut, the chutney can also be made with onions, tomatoes, chillies and coriander!
History of Dish
In South India, the cuisine is largely rice-based with an accent of a thin soup called Rasam. Coconut is an important ingredient in all South Indian cuisine.
Dosa (rice pancakes), Idli (steamed rice cakes), and fermented rice are very popular dishes with Hindu vegetarian dieters.
Biryani
Biryani is a mixed rice dish with its origins among the Muslims of the Indian subcontinent. It can be compared to mixing a curry, later combining it with semi-cooked rice separately. This dish is especially popular throughout the Indian subcontinent, as well as among its diaspora. It is also prepared in other regions such as Iraqi Kurdistan. It is made with Indian spices, rice, meat (chicken, beef, goat, pork, lamb, prawn, or fish), vegetables or eggs. The word 'biryani' is derived from a Persian word, birian, which means fried before cooking. It is one of the most popular dishes, which has acquired a niche for itself in South Asian cuisine.
History of Dish
Many historians believe that biryani originated from Persia and was brought to India by the Mughals. Biryani was further developed in the Mughal royal kitchen. the Mughal soldiers looked undernourished. In order to provide a balanced diet to the soldiers, she asked the chefs to prepare a dish with meat and rice.
Samosa
A samosa is a fried or baked pastry with a savoury filling, such as spiced potatoes, onions, peas, cheese, beef and other meats, or lentils. It may take different forms, including triangular, cone, or half-moon shapes, depending on the region. The Indian style, often accompanied by a chutney, is probably the most widely known of a broad family of recipes from Africa to China, which has origins in medieval times or earlier. Due to emigration and cultural diffusion from these areas, samosas today are often prepared in other regions.
History of Dish
The samosa originated in the Middle East and Central Asia. It then spread to Africa, Southeast Asia, South Asia, and elsewhere. The term samosa and its variants cover a family of pastries and dumplings popular from north-eastern Africa to western China. The samosa spread to the Indian subcontinent, following the invasion of the Central Asian Turkic dynasties in the region A praise of samosa (as sanbusaj) can be found in a 9th-century poem by the Persian poet Ishaq al-Mawsili. Recipes for the dish are found in 10th–13th-century Arab cookery books, under the names sanbusak, sanbusaq, and sanbusaj, all of which derive from the Persian word sabotage. In Iran, the dish was popular until the 16th century, but by the 20th century, its popularity was restricted to certain provinces (such as the sambusas of Larestan). Abolfazl Beyhaqi (995-1077), an Iranian historian, mentioned it in his history, Tarikh-e Beyhaghi.
