Indian cuisine is a refined art made of ancestral traditions, and based on many spices. It is a festival of colors, smells and flavors, strong enough for our European palates, but subtly dosed so that each spice is highlighted and raises the dish…
India, a vast country-continent, is composed of 25 states and 7 territories: each region has its own culinary traditions (seasoning, cooking methods…) according to its history, its religion and its climate. The population of India is 80% Hindu, therefore vegetarian (who do not eat meat). This is why it is one of the richest cuisines in the world in terms of vegetable and dried fruit dishes. In India, one uses one’s fingers to eat, and always with the right hand, the left hand being considered impure (it is used to wipe oneself in the toilet).
Culinary traditions according to regions
In the south, Indian cuisine is mostly vegetarian, with a lot of dried vegetables (lentils, chickpeas, etc) and very spicy, accompanied by rice. In the north, one can feel the influence of Turkish and Mongolian cuisine, with more meat, like tandoori chicken cooked in a special oven, the tandoor. The dishes are accompanied by breads like naans, rotis and parathas. The southern coasts have of course specialties of fish, shellfish and crustaceans.
The different spices
Spices come from branches or leaves, fruits or seeds, bulbs or roots. Indian cuisine is very rich in tastes and flavors thanks to the use of about twenty spices such as coriander, turmeric, saffron, cardamom, green anise, star anise, cumin, cinnamon (which is the bark of the plant), pepper, ginger (which is the root of the plant), nutmeg, cloves (which are the buds of the plant), often combined in spice blends such as garam masala or curry. The term “curry” is of English origin, and comes from the Tamil (South Indian dialect) word “carri” which means sauce. Mint, sesame, garlic, dill, mustard seeds and onions are also very often used in Indian cuisine.
The Indian diet: spices with medicinal properties
Enriched with herbs, spices and aromatics, Indian cuisine owes its reputation to its perfumes and colors, but also to its medicinal properties: aperitif, digestive, or tonic for the body. They contribute to the harmony of body and mind. Here are some virtues: cardamom promotes digestion and reduces bloating; ginger is an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, indicated against coughs and bronchitis; cinnamon is invigorating, it is an antiviral to fight against flu and colds; clove calms dental inflammation, reduces pain and is an antiseptic; cumin helps digestion and is recommended for the liver and stomach; turmeric is an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory …
Drinks:
Indians usually drink water with their meals. The more affluent can afford wine or Indian beer. Outside of meals, they drink chai (black tea sweetened with spices and milk) or coffee (sweetened with milk). They also make delicious exotic fruit juices that they squeeze before your eyes on demand (mango, papaya, pomegranate, pineapple, coconut milk…), and that they also use to flavor lassis, a drink based on fermented milk, and which can be sweetened, with fruit, or salted.
