      I have to admit that I have only been to an Authentic Indian restaurant twice and fast food Indian several times. I grew up in mid-size cities in the US and there just aren't many choices when it comes to international cuisine. Though I love, cilantro (because I spent half of my life near the border of Mexico), I really don't care for the spices and flavor combinations of Indian food. There really isn't many foods I don't like. Maybe I've just never found the right dishes.

      The British/Indian spice trade was definitely a thing. So much so that Brits got into Indian spice mixes in a big way. I'm not saying they "invented" the spices. Just that the combination we call "curry" is a British thing, not an Indian thing. See all the other posts pointing out that "curry" isn't an Indian concept.
      Well it had to come from somewhere... Calling it "a mishmash of Indian-sourced spices in your food" isn't as catchy.

    Thank you for posting this video, the food looks beautifully made. I was introduced to Indian food when I first moved to NJ in my early 20s. I think my taste buds exploded at my first bite of a curry. I loved it so much I spent an entire year eating Indian food exclusively - breakfast, lunch and dinner - plus the occasional mango lassi. The food is flavorful, sophisticated and comforting, and it always seems to be prepared with a lot of care. I loved it so much I couldn't get enough of it. I was also lucky to live in an area that had several excellent Indian restaurants, and sure took advantage of it!

      Curry powder was created for the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth ll in 1953 to create the Coronation Chicken dish which was served to the foreign dignitaries. It was a British creation using spices brought from India by an employee of the British East India Company. Most British households wouldn’t have had the rare and oftentimes expensive spices used to create the dish, but the curry powder made it more readily accessible . Not all curry powders are equal. Some brands are quite good, or one can create it .

      This is a common theme across the food cultures of Europe and Asia. China for example did not know about red chilies (or potatoes and corn, for that matter) until the 16th century, when they were introduced into the land by Portuguese merchants. Most historians agree today that China's population broke the 100 mil barrier in 1600s thanks in part to the high yield of potatoes. We owe a lot of our modern palettes to the native people of Americas.

    The curry tree is a tropical to sub-tropical tree in the family Rutaceae, and is native to Asia. The plant is also sometimes called sweet neem, though M. koenigii is in a different family to neem, Azadirachta indica, which is in the related family Meliaceae.

    • @asamvav
      @asamvav Před 3 lety

      As far as indian cuisine is concerned that's lazy cooking. The tartness and colour provided by tomato were produced by a combination of different spices and herbs & flowers. For example rogan josh, a common kashmiri dish served all over the world, is now almost everywhere cooked with tomatoes but originally a particular flower indigenous to the valley was used to colour the dish. So if we are talking about authenticity there are very few actual dishes with tomato and those dishes themselves have a continental flavour like shorba etc.
