  • Hey guys! As most of you know I loooove me some curry! There's just one thing... I never realised just how diverse it could be!! India alone has so many different variations of this dish that it's got me craving to try them all. For now though I invited my good friend @TenieSangma to help educate me on what the differences are between India and Japan.

    India is basically a continent with many countries in one. Communities, cultures, cuisines change after every 100 miles. There are 28 states a handful of Union Territories and each state will offer you atleast 2-3 cuisines. So I hope you get the picture of how diverse India actually is. Also there is no such thing as an Indian cuisine but a list of cuisines from India.
    And there is no such thing as curry spice in India. Curry basically translates to a sauce or gravy cooked with different spices and which spices are cooked together, defines the curry. Barbequed and fried items are not curries unless a sauce or gravy is added to the dish.
    The north indian curries are dairy based whereas the south indian curries are coconut or groundnut based.
    You will also find plenty of cuisines to try from various regions in India.
    The more popular cuisines are -
    Mughlai cuisine - (Delhi, North Indian) dishes eg Mughlai chicken, Changezi, Nihari, Mughlai Paratha, Haleem, Keema, Pulao, Kadai, Pasanda, Mughlai biryani,etc
    Kashmiri cuisine (Kashmir, North Indian) - Rogan Josh, Goshtaba
    Punjabi cuisine - (Punjab & Delhi, North Indian) eg Tandoori Chicken, Butter Chicken, Tikka Masala, Sarson ka Saag, Rajma chawal, Palak Paneer, Amritsi Kulcha, Chole Bhature, Chana Masala, Dal Makhani, Naan, Bhatura etc
    Tamil cuisine - (Tamil Nadu, South Indian) eg Dosa, Idli, Uttapam, Vada, Chettinad Chicken, Chicken 65, Sambar, Pongal, Payasam, Upma, Ambur Biryani etc
    Malyalee cuisine - (Kerela, South Indian) eg Prawns in coconut gravy, karimeen fish, Beef Masala fry, Puttu, Appam, Idiyappam, Fish Molee, Thalassery Biryani, Banana chips etc
    Kannada cuisine (Bangalore, South Indian) - Udupi Masala Dosa, Bisi Bele Bath, Kori Roti
    Awadhi cuisine - (Lucknow, North Indian) eg Musallam, do Pyaaza, Korma, Galouti Kebabs, Malai kofta, Rumali roti, Chaat, Aloo gobhi, Gulab Jamun, Badami Chicken, Lucknowi biryani etc
    Bengali cuisine- (Kolkata, East Indian) eg Fish in Mustard gravy, Mutton Kosha and Chaap, Mishti Doi, Prawn Malaikari, Bhapa Ilish, Muri Ghonto,Aloo Poshto, Luchi, sandesh, rasogulla, Jhal Muri, Kolkata Biryani etc
    Goanese cuisine- (Goa, West Indian) eg Vindaloo, Xacuti, Cafreal, Sorpotel, Bebinca, Dangar, etc
    Gujrati cuisine - (Ahmedabad, West Indian) eg Dhokla, Khandhvi, Khakra, Shrikhand, Kadhi, Thepla, etc
    Marathi cuisine - (Mumbai, West Indian) eg Pav Bhaji, Misal Pav, Vada Pav, Chicken Kolhapuri, Batata Vada, Modak, Bhakarvadi, etc
    Andhra cuisine (Hyderabad, South Indian) - Pulihora, Pootharerkulu, Ulava Chaaru, Hyderabadi Biryani
    Indo-chinese - (Kolkata, Shillong) Chowmein, manchurian chicken/pork, sweet & sour pork, chilly chicken/pork, springrolls, Szechwan, etc
    Sikkimese cuisine ( North East Indian) - Momos
    Dishes from my community like Tenie's are exotic and you won't find them in Indian cities, except places which are within 100miles from where I am. That is again how diverse India is.
    Indian food is definitely spicy, as in a whole gamut of spices are used as ingredients while preparing the dishes, hence it's very flavorful. But that does not mean every dish packs in heat. Only dishes which have a significant amount of chilly peppers will be hot. Infact some dishes are even on the sweeter side because of the use of dairy products and dried fruits.
    A typical Indian meal is eaten in a thali. A thali refers to the plate that a thali meal may be served on. The idea behind a thali is to offer all the 6 different flavours of sweet, salt, bitter, sour, astringent and spicy on one single plate. According to Indian food custom, a proper meal should be a perfect balance of all these six flavours.
    So a typical normal Indian thali would consist of the following-
    1. Rice
    2. Flat bread
    3. Lentil soup (dal)
    4. Appetizer ( papad/Papadum)
    5. Fried vegetable
    6. Vegetable cooked in a gravy sauce
    7. Fresh salad vegetable
    8. Choice of Meat (chicken/mutton/fish)
    9. Curd
    10. Pickles / chutneys
    11. Sweet dish
    Dishes served in a thali vary from region to region and cuisine to cuisine in the Indian subcontinent and are usually served in small bowls, called katori in India. These katoris are placed along the edge of the round tray, the actual thali. Sometimes a steel tray with multiple compartments is also used.
    The number of dish items may increase if you are inviting a guest home. But in some restaurants, people go overboard with the thali concept, where, each thali consist of 40-50 dishes. You can search for-
    Dara Singh thali
    Bahubali thali
    Big Boss Thali
    Ravan Thali
    to get an idea of what I mean.
    Here are some Thalis from different states -
    food-ndtv-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/food.ndtv.com/food-drinks/13-grand-indian-thalis-you-need-to-try-at-least-once-in-your-life-1758079?amp_js_v=a6&_gsa=1&=1&akamai-rum=off#referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&_tf=From%20%251%24s&share=https%3A%2F%2Ffood.ndtv.com%2Ffood-drinks%2F13-grand-indian-thalis-you-need-to-try-at-least-once-in-your-life-1758079
    The most important thing about Thalis is their unlimited refills concept.
    Here are some tips on eating Indian food -
    1. Start off with starters like a kebab or tandoori platter usually served with tamarind sauce, mint or yoghurt sauce.
    2. Next we then have the flat bread (roti, chapati, naan, puri, paratha, kulcha, bhatura)
    www-indiafoodnetwork-in.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.indiafoodnetwork.in/amp/food-stories/the-ultimate-guide-to-the-breads-of-india/?amp_js_v=a6&_gsa=1
    with some of the side dishes, either vegetarian or non vegetarian curry aka gravy aka sauce. You tear the bread and scoop out the meat along with sauce/gravy/curry. The warmer the bread the more the flavors and less chewy.
    3. Then we take the rice into the plate and have it with the lentils or veg/meat sauce/gravy/curry and clean it all up. The hotter the rice, the more chance your mouth will get burnt.
    And If you are having the biryani rice, you take it with a salan gravy and a raita based yoghurt dip. And it's a complete meal on its own. There are 20+ varieties of biryanis depending on which community is cooking it and the region from where it's from. And many will argue that vegetable Biryani is not a biryani.
    www.whatsuplife.in/different-variety-types-biryani-india
    4. Finally finish off with a sweet desert either gulab jamun, rasogulla, kheer, payasam, barfi, sandesh etc
    We don't scoop out the bread and rice and the sauces/gravy/ curries together at the same time.
    Also many people eat samosas in their meals on RUclips but then Samosas are usually eaten as a snack during tea time.
    Also some people have just the bread or rice along with the side dishes as eating both bread and rice at the same time can be too heavy in a single meal.
    If you are feeling adventurous and plan on eating with your hands, especially rice, you pour the curry sauce on the rice then use your fingers (not the palm) to roll the rice to something like a ball, then take the thumb behind the rice ball, take your hand close to your mouth, and then push the rice into your mouth with your thumb.
    Would love to see you try out more Indian Food on your channel.

      Japanese curry actually was introduced to Japan by Brits during the Meiji era, so that's how the circle closes.

Mutton sauce is for non curry eater, those were mainly for children and a few adult that hate spicy curry. These paratha were among best seller in Asia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Borneo, Singapore etc. Paratha can also be bought variety choices. Can be as planta @ butter, cheese, egg, sugar etc...

    Can't say I've ever come across a restaurant that *only* specialises in Southern Indian cooking. It's usually something of a mixture here in the UK (things like Biryani are really common here), but the pancake and that bread you had, I haven't seen those before. I think the deserts are pretty universal, because I've not come across a single Indian restaurant here that doesn't serve these XD Some of my Indian friends here have the Gulab Jamun hot with vanilla ice cream (the ice cream serves as a sort of cleanser since the syrup is so thick and overly sweet)

    Thank God she said that there's nothing like "curry" in India 🙈
    I mean you can find few dishes which are named curry...just because of the way they are made.
    But it's just 5% of all our other indian cuisines. Curry was used by Britishers to simplify the vast majority of dishes we had & they just spread the word. What you call curry... Is just *gravy* for us. And every dish has it's own set of spices, as India has thousands of verities of spices growing here.
    Again, Indian Spicy ≠ chillies.
    Spiciness in India means Levels of flavours 💯
    Also, Indian homemade food is a whole different world, made completely different from restaurants. Every indian mom has her own recipes and way of cooking.

    120 items on the menu is not a boast I like hearing from chefs- I imagine he gets away with it since Indian food is *very* hard to find in Japan. No chef can stand there and honestly say that every single item on a menu that size is given the equal amount of love and care needed to create truly good food. The food looks decent, and I could be wrong in that this is a truly prodigious chef who's a master at his craft, but I have doubts. Always default to less is more with restaurants- give me 20 options on the menu any day of the week over 120.

    "itadakimasu" is unique to Japanese culture. There is no relative word in India. But in India we do have concept of "food is gift from universe" and wasting even grain of rice or disrespectful to food is a sin ( just like in japan).
