The British takeaway has its humble roots many miles away in the regions of India. Depending on where you are in India, the cuisine will vary alot. There are five main reason to in india: Northern, southern, western and eastern. In India food has largely been vegetarian, with rice being most people’s staple diet.
When ordering Indian food, not many people consider what has gone into making the rich offering in front of them. What number of people do you think could actually say that they knew how to make a curry? Unless you have a particular skill within the kitchen, the methods described are not going to mean much. Personally, I enjoy trying to match a delicious meal that I have had the pleasure of ordering from a local restaurant. In the area that I live in, Manchester, I often buy a meal online using the term ‘Indian takeaway manchester‘ or just ‘takeaway manchester‘ .If you take your time, it is easy to taste the spices such as parsley and coriander. The ingredients generally can be obtained from a local supermarket, or from small independent shops.
For those who are not aware, curry is usually cooked by frying in vegetable oils, and then mixed with a variety of herbs and spices. Chilli pepper is the most common spices used along with pulses. Coconut milk is used in many recipes, as the subtle flavour creates a pleasant aroma and background taste. The sharpness obtained in the flavour comes from the use of lime juice, which can also be a very good method for marinating the meats. Once the meal has been prepared, herbs are used for decoration and aroma. One slightly unusual fact is that in India there doesn’t seem to be official recipes for these dishes. This is in sharp contrast to western countries, who generally champion the celebrity chefs and their recipes. The biggest star in the UK on Indian food, is Madhur Jaffrey, who has written a number of books and appreared on television.
