THE COLOURS, SCENTS AND FLAVOURS OF MUMBAI AND BEYOND

In the same way we do not talk about a uniform European cuisine, there is no such uniform Indian cuisine as many may perceive. The country comprises 35 states each one bearing its own cultural and gastronomic identity. Indeed, it is true that many of the Indian curries found on England’s menus that have now become part of the Nation’s official dishes are not original but have been developed and adapted though time and generations.

This day will explain the differences between the country’s gastronomic division and application of spices and interestingly the thought process and function behind individual ingredients like turmeric with its antiseptic qualities and chilies being applied for more than just a heightened sensation! If you are a curryholic then this will open doors to an authentic understanding of Indian cuisine.
