CUISINE IN INDIA

North Indian cuisine is mostly influenced by the great Mughals and savoured in the curries, kormas and in delicious tandoori recipes and kababs. Equally popular are the Wazwan from Kashmir, the Dum-Pukht from Awadh and Biryanis and pulaos of Hyderabad.

Eating from a thali, a round tray, has not changed over the centuries, although functional metals have replaced the gold and silver. Sometimes the thali is placed on a low ,able and one sits cross-legged on the ground in front of it, shoes removed and feet tucked away. In the south both the thali and the flat green banana leaf takes the place of the western plate. The latter is thrown away afterwards thus saving washing up. Around the inside rim of the thali are arranged small bowls. each filled with a different sort of preparation making a complete wholesome meal.
