Timeless Tastes Of Indian Cuisine

Indian cuisine is not only diverse and exciting, but can be blissful, and at times, intimidating. Indian cuisine uses diverse flavours – spicy, sour, sweet and hot – often all at the same time, making it an exhilarating experience for the diners. Every region in India has a different an array of dishes. But there are some Indian dishes which are popular throughout the country. Almost most of us however, would be of the opinion that north Indian cuisine tops the popularity chart in the country among different types of Indian dishes.

Chef Sidney Dcunha, Executive Sous Chef, JW Marriott Mumbai Sahar, declared, “Indian cuisine reflects great diversity. The different regions of India have often have significantly different cuisines and they use locally available spices,  herbs,  vegetables, and fruits. World over, North Indian dishes like butter chicken, dal makhni, naan, rogan josh have been popular.”

“For most Indians, the preferred food is a nice home cooked meal. And if it is a meal cooked by their mother, it is even better! Home cooked meal, “Ma ke haath ka khana” is still the preferred choice,” Sidney Dcunha proffered.

“Indian cuisine is favourite among most Indians. In modern times Indian palates have undergone lots of changes. In the last decade, as a result of maturation of globalisation, a lot of Indians have travelled to different parts of the world and people from foreign nationalities have come to India in huge numbers. This has resulted in Indianisation of various international cuisines,” asserted Sanket Thakur, Food and Beverage Manager, The Resort, Mumbai.
