Reasons Why Indian Cuisine Has Become So Popular All Over the World


INTRODUCTION AND HISTORY:


Indian food and spices have been popular all over the world since ancient times. The Romans imported spices from India as early as 77 C.E. The Arab traders imported spices from India before the beginning of the Common Era. By the middle ages, Indian cuisine and spices became extremely popular all over the world. All major kingdoms in Asia and Europe had active spice trade with India in the middle age. Many battles were also fought at that time especially between the European powers England, France, Portugal, Dutch and Spain to gain access to the spice route to India. Indian spices and condiments were one of the major reasons why the British visited India before colonizing it. Even Christopher Columbus was searching for a sea route to India (to resume the European spice trade with India after the fall of Constantinople) when he accidentally discovered America in 1492.


REASONS FOR POPULARITY OF INDIAN CUISINE:


Indian recipes have been traditionally known for the simple style of cooking where the nutritional value of the food is maintained while enhancing the taste with the use of spices and masalas. The concept of pickles and salads originated from India too. They were served with the main dish and acted as an appetizer for stimulating the taste buds.


The different parts of India had their own local traditions and cultures. The food and recipes of the various regions were quite diverse too. In North India, wheat has been the staple food whereas in Southern and Eastern parts of India, rice is the staple food. The food habits also vary as per the weather conditions, geographical location and major crops of that region. For example, in coastal regions of India, seafood and fish recipes are more popular whereas in central India, vegetarian cuisines are more popular. However, there is hardly a situation when a popular food of any part of India is completely new to another region of India. This is because of the food culture in India where people exchange food with their neighbors and friends especially during festive seasons. This is common in every part of India and has helped in spreading the popularity of various regional dishes in other parts of India.


Festivals and food prepared during festivals have their own significance too. For example in Maharashtra, Makar Sankranti is observed in the month of January. Bajra rotis (pearl millet breads) and sweets made of jaggery and Til (mole) are served during this festival as eating these items during winter is quite beneficial to maintain body temperature. These festivals help in making a situation where no one feels compulsion of eating healthy food as per weather conditions but instead enjoy doing so with the festive activities. The popularity of Indian festivals around the world have also helped in the popularity of Indian food.


Indian medical science known as Ayurveda is known for its easy and natural way of treatment. The base of Ayurveda is healthy Indian food and herbs. The physical and mental fitness exercises Yoga also originated in ancient India. Indian food and cooking has been traditionally drawn from yogic philosophy of cooking and eating. So, with the popularity of Ayurveda, Yoga etc., people all over the world have realized the health benefits of Indian food.


In modern times, Indian expats all over the world have helped in popularizing Indian cuisine. Though Indian cuisine was popular in UK and many other parts of Europe and Middle East since the middle ages but it was mainly due to the Indians settled abroad that they became very popular in North America and the rest of the world. No wonder countries like US, UK, Canada and Australia have several restaurants and hotels serving only Indian food.


With the massive growth of cable television in the last few decades, food shows are coming up on TV channels all over the world. Indian recipes are part of the diverse recipes taught in those shows. Thus, cable television had an important role too in increasing the popularity of Indian cuisine.


CONCLUSION:


Indian cuisine is known for the variety, nutritional value and great taste. Most of the recipes are dependent on the use of several spices which enhances the taste.

The Wonderful World Of Coffee Makers!


Coffee makers have come a long way! Today there is virtually one made that is suitable for anyone's budget or needs. Prices of coffee makers range from very cheap, as low as $9 all the way to around $200! They come in all shapes, sizes and even platinum. It all depends on how much coffee you want to drink, and of course how much you want to spend!


I used to almost dread making coffee in the mornings. In my household I am the only coffee drinker, and used to waste the delicious beverage on a daily basis. As I typically only drink one cup of coffee, or two maximum, I would brew an entire pot and end up dumping most of it. Not only was it a waste of money, it was also a pain. I would first have to grind the beans, then fill the pot with water, find a filter, and it truly was a long process. Some mornings I would forego making the coffee as it was also time-consuming. I would end up running to the local bakery or gourmet shop and spending a lot of money on coffee.


These days I use my trusty Keurig, and life is great! I never miss a morning with coffee as it is so simple to use the one-cup coffee maker. It saves so much money, and I love being able to change the flavors on a daily basis. It has saved so much money, and a one-cup coffee maker is perfect for a household like mine - one with only one coffee drinker! These are also perfect for small offices, with only a few people.


Traditional coffee makers are great for those looking for the freshest cup of coffee possible. There is nothing like grinding your own coffee beans to drink at the utmost peak of freshness. These are perfect for larger households as well, where there are many coffee drinkers, or for large offices.


For those looking for a gourmet coffee drinking experience at home, today many coffee makers come with built-in espresso makers. I have one of these for special treat time, or for when guests are staying over night. These machines can make: lattes, espresso, cappuccino and more. Some of them even have built-in milk-frothers that are perfect for making that delicious foam to top those cappuccino.


Regardless of the coffee maker you choose, what is important is picking that perfect coffee to go with it! Luckily there are virtually hundreds of roasts, flavors and blends of gourmet coffee available for purchase.

Dive Into the Exciting World of Flavored Tofu!

If you ask someone on the street what they think tofu tastes like you can expect a wild variety of answers. This is because by itself, tofu is fairly tasteless. The magic of tofu however is that it has the uncanny ability to absorb flavors from the foods around it acting like a sponge and making great meals even more enjoyable.


The very nature of this highly absorptive food makes the term "Flavored Tofu" confusing. Most people would say that tofu is automatically flavored based on what its mixed with and assume that's all that Flavored Tofu is... but alas, there's much more to it than this.


While its true that tofu does a very good job at absorbing flavors, true flavored tofu is made differently. Tofu is made with soy milk and during the curdling phase flavors can be mixed into the milk resulting in a true flavor infusion. Gone are the days of needing to mix tofu with your favorite flavors, now you can build those flavors right in!


There have been some wild attempts at flavored varieties over the year but most commonly fruits or fruit juices are combined with the soy milk to create flavored tofu. Infusions can be found for just about every fruit on there, however the most common fruit infusions are mango, orange and coconut. Don't be surprised to even see holiday flavors popping up over the next several years! Peppermint tofu for Christmas anyone?


Flavored tofu is generally served cold and created with a soft texture similar to that of silken tofu. This results in some delicious fruit flavored spreads that can be used in a number of recipes or simply spread onto your favorite crackers or vegetables. While tofu recipes rarely, if ever, call for flavored tofu you are generally free to substitute your favorite flavor freely anytime a silken tofu is called for in your favorite tofu recipe.


In addition to fruit infused tofu, egg is another common additive. The addition of egg results in a very unique flavor with added health benefits such as increased protein. While fruit infused tofu is most common and most people love the sweetness it brings, egg tofu remains very popular in some parts of the world.


Flavored tofu is increasing in popularity and its starting to pop up in average supermarkets across the country. Next time your shopping, see if you can find a flavor you'd like and rediscover tofu for the first time!

Exploring Pizza Around the World

Whether you are visiting Japan or Australia, you will be able to find pizza in the country, but it might be a little different than American style pizzas. So if you visit another country you might be pleasantly or unpleasantly surprised if you are expecting cheesy pepperoni pizzas.


You may not have ever thought that they would serve pizza in India. They do, but it is quite different. Normal toppings for pizzas in India could include paneer which is a type of cottage cheese, pickled ginger, and mutton or sheep meat that is minced. This may sound strange, but if you were used to the flavors of India, perhaps these flavors would appeal to you.


A French style pizza sounds very fancy. It actually is topped with something called flambee which is actually fresh cream, onions, and bacon. As Americans you are probably accustomed to onions and bacon on pizzas, but the fresh cream is a little different unless you like Alfredo pizzas.


If you were to visit Japan, you might find the tastes quite different than what you are used to, but if you enjoy sushi rolls, you might enjoy the taste of Japanese pizzas. The toppings on these pizzas are Mayo Jaga which is a combination of mayonnaise, potatoes, and bacon, and then they also have eel and squid as toppings.


Russian pizzas are quite a bit different than American style. They enjoy red herring as a topping, but they also enjoy mockba which is a combination of ingredients. Mockba is tuna, mackerel, onions, sardines, salmon, as well as onions put together. If you like these fishier flavors, you might enjoy this Russian-style pizza.


Australia has another interesting pizza. It is a little more similar to what you may be used to if you eat American pizzas. Common ingredients on Australian pizzas are shrimp, barbeque sauce, and pineapple. Perhaps you have had the ham and pineapple combination that is popular in America. This type might remind you of it.


Other unique toppings for pizzas from around the world include curry on pizzas in Pakistan and coconut in Costa Rica. There are likely even more flavors around the world on pizzas, but these are just a few.


Sometimes if you go to another country you do expect different foods, but perhaps you do not expect a familiar food like pizzas to be different than what you know. If you visit these countries, you will likely have an option to perhaps have an American style, but you will also probably have the option to try pizzas with the specific country's style of toppings.


So while you are in America enjoy pizzas the way you are used to, but if you do some travel, be sure and try out another country's fair. It is important to remember that making pizzas did not start in America, so America really has no claim on the toppings. The main thing is that everyone enjoys what they like on their pizzas.
