この地域の料理は、様々な種類の唐辛子、黒胡椒、クローブ、その他の強いハーブやスパイス、そして風味付けされたバターであるギーで味付けされている。生姜は、この亜大陸の料理では、風味豊かな料理にも甘い料理にも使うことができる食材である。刻んだ生姜は肉と一緒に炒められ、生姜のピクルスはよく炊いたご飯に添えられる。生姜汁やシロップで煮た生姜はデザートを作るのに使われる。ウコンとクミンはカレーによく使われる。
一般的な肉には、ラム、ヤギ、魚、鶏肉、そして牛肉が含まれる。牛はヒンドゥー教で特別な位置を占めるため、インドでは他の南アジア料理に比べて牛肉は一般的ではない。牛肉の禁止は、ある程度(水)水牛やヤクの肉にも及ぶ。豚肉は、すべてのムスリムにとってタブーな食べ物とされており、多くのヒンドゥー教徒にはタブーではないが避けられている(ただし、北東インドやゴアなど一部の地域では一般的に食べられている)。乳製品を使った非常に甘いデザートも、インド亜大陸の料理には多く見られる。インド亜大陸のデザートの主な材料は、煮詰めた牛乳、挽いたアーモンド、レンズ豆の粉、ギー、砂糖である。キールは乳製品ベースのライスプディングで、一般的なデザートである。
History
Many foods from the subcontinent have been known for over five thousand years. The Indus Valley people, who settled in the northwestern Indian subcontinent, hunted turtles and alligator. They also collected wild grains, herbs and plants. Many foods and ingredients from the Indus period (c. 3300–1700 B.C.) are still common today. Some consist of wheat, barley, rice, tamarind, eggplant, and cucumber. The Indus Valley people cooked with oils, ginger, salt, green peppers, and turmeric root, which would be dried and ground into an orange powder.
Indians have used leafy vegetables, lentils, and milk products such as yogurt and ghee throughout their history. They also used spices such as cumin and coriander. Black pepper, which is native to India, was often used by 400 A.D. The Greeks brought saffron and the Chinese introduced tea. The Portuguese and British made red chili, potato and cauliflower popular after 1700 A.D. Mughals, who began arriving in India after 1200, saw food as an art and many of their dishes are cooked with as many as 25 spices. They also used rose water, cashews, raisins, and almonds.
In the late 18th and early 19th century, an autobiography of the Scottish Robert Lindsay mentions a Sylheti man called Saeed Ullah cooking a curry for Lindsay's family. This is possibly the oldest record of Indian cuisine in the United Kingdom.
