भारतीय मिठाइयों का रंगीन सार

India offers an exquisite variety of desserts that captivate the taste buds. In this article, we survey the desserts from India’s many regions, showing the unique elements of delightful desserts. Discover the enchanting world of Indian sweets, from the Gulab Jamun and the Kaju Katli to the heartwarming Gajar Ka Halwa and the tender Rasgulla.

Gulab Jamun: Popular in northern and western India, Gulab Jamun is believed to have originated in the Mughal Empire. This dessert consists of milk solids, चीनी, and rose water. Milk solids are soaked in sweet syrup, deep-fried until golden brown, and then soaked in a flavored syrup containing rose water, saffron, and cardamom. Gulab Jamuns are usually served warm.

Kaju Katli: A favorite in western and southern India, Kaju Katli is thought to have originated in Gujarat. Made from cashew nuts and sugar, the cashew nuts are ground into a fine paste and mixed with sugar and milk. The mixture is cooked until it forms a soft dough, then cut into diamond shapes and allowed to cool.

Gajar Ka Halwa: Commonly enjoyed in northern and western India, Gajar Ka Halwa is believed to have originated in Punjab. This dessert is made from carrots, milk, चीनी, and cardamom. Grated carrots are cooked in milk until soft, then combined with sugar and cardamom. The mixture is cooked until it thickens into a pudding and is typically served warm.

Rasgulla: Popular in eastern and northeastern India, Rasgulla is thought to have originated in West Bengal. Made from milk and sugar, the milk is boiled to form a thick layer of cream, which is skimmed off and used to make rasgullas. Rasgullas are prepared by adding lemon juice to the milk and cooking it until it curdles. The curdled milk is strained, and the curds are shaped into balls, then boiled in sugar syrup until soft and fluffy. Rasgulla is usually served chilled.

Rasmalai: A beloved dessert in eastern India, Rasmalai is believed to have originated in West Bengal. This dessert consists of soft, spongy paneer (cottage cheese) balls soaked in a rich, creamy milk sauce flavored with cardamom, saffron, and sugar. The paneer balls are boiled in sugar syrup and then immersed in the flavored milk sauce, allowing them to absorb the delicate flavors. Rasmalai is typically garnished with chopped nuts and served chilled.

Kheer: A widely enjoyed Indian dessert, Kheer is made with rice, milk, चीनी, and nuts. The rice is soaked in milk and cooked until soft before being mixed with sugar and nuts. The mixture is cooked until it thickens into a pudding and is typically served warm.

Payasam: Believed to have originated in Tamil Nadu, Payasam is made with milk, rice, and sugar. The milk is boiled before adding rice, which is cooked until soft. The cooked rice is mixed with sugar and nuts, and the mixture is cooked until it becomes a thick pudding. Payasam is usually served warm.

Falooda: Introduced to India by Persian immigrants, Falooda is a refreshing dessert consisting of rose syrup, milk, ice cream, and vermicelli. Rose syrup is mixed with milk, followed by the addition of ice cream. The mixture is topped with vermicelli and nuts, and Falooda is typically served chilled.

Mishti Doi: Hailing from West Bengal, Mishti Doi is made with yogurt, चीनी, and spices. The yogurt is strained, mixed with sugar and spices, then chilled and served. Mishti Doi is often consumed as a breakfast or snack.

Ladoo: A well-known Indian dessert, Ladoo is made with various ingredients, including gram flour, चीनी, and nuts. The gram flour is roasted, mixed with sugar and water, and then cooked until it forms a dough. The dough is shaped into balls and rolled in nuts. Ladoo is often served as a prasad (offering) to Hindu deities and at weddings.

Kulfi: Brought to India by the Mughals, Kulfi is an Indian ice cream made with milk, चीनी, and nuts. The milk is boiled, and sugar is added and cooked until it dissolves. The mixture is churned until thick and creamy before being frozen in molds and served. Kulfi is usually enjoyed chilled.

India’s culinary heritage offers a diverse assortment of regional desserts. Each treat carries its own unique history and flavors, representing various aspects of the country’s culture. From the Mughal-inspired Gulab Jamun and Gujarati Kaju Katli to the Punjabi Gajar Ka Halwa and West Bengal’s Rasgulla, these desserts provide a delightful taste of India’s rich dessert traditions.

A Thali is a traditional Indian meal served on a round platter or tray, known as ‘that’ in Hindi, meaning plate. It typically comprises several dishes arranged on the plate to create a delicious meal. The thali is typically served on a large metal tray hosting 4-6 smaller metal bowls, each containing a different dish, such as vegetables and lentils to raita. The origin of thali is believed to be from South India, where a selection of different dishes was traditionally served on a banana leaf. Thalis are a staple in Indian restaurants and are also commonly served on special occasions, such as weddings or festivals.

Over time, the concept of thali evolved and adapted to different regions in India. Different states and communities began to develop their variations of the thali, using local ingredients and traditional cooking methods.

In the Western part of India, Gujarat and Maharashtra are known for their delicious thali meals, with a mix of sweet and spicy dishes. In Gujarat, the thali often includes a variety of vegetarian dishes such as dal, kadhi, bhakri, and shrikhand, while in Maharashtra, a variety of non-vegetarian dishes such as fish curry, chicken curry, and mutton are also commonly served.

In the Southern part of India, thalis are known for using a lot of rice, मसूर की दाल, and curry-based dishes. The thali in this region includes dishes like sambar, rasam, and curd, as well as a variety of vegetable dishes, such as okra fry and drumstick sambar.

In the Northern part of India, thali meals typically include a variety of dishes made from wheat, such as roti, paratha, and naan. The thali in this region typically includes dishes such as dal makhani, paneer butter masala, and aloo gobi.

In Eastern India, thali meals are known for using fish and various vegetables. The thali in this region typically includes dishes like fish curry, दल, and a variety of vegetable dishes.

Thali meals vary in regions, reflecting India’s diverse cultural and culinary heritage. Today, the thali is a popular way of enjoying Indian food and a staple in Indian restaurants worldwide. The thali concept is limited to India and neighboring countries such as Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan.

The thali is not only a delicious way to enjoy Indian food but also an important part of India’s culinary heritage. It offers a glimpse into the country’s diverse regional cuisines, allowing diners to sample various dishes simultaneously. Whether you are a fan of Indian cuisine or trying it for the first time, a thali is a must-try experience.

अनूठी संस्कृति, भोजन & पारसी समुदाय का हार्दिक आतिथ्य

December 30, 2022 द्वारा स्टाफ लेखक

The Parsi culture is an ancient and unique, with its roots stretching back about 3,000 years from India to Persia. This ethnoreligious group is descended from the original followers of the Prophet Zoroaster or Zarathushtra, who lived in modern-day Iran. Facing Islamic conquest in the 7th century, a small group of these Zoroastrians fled to Gujarat on the west coast of India, where they were called ‘Parsi’ (literally meaning ‘people from Paras or Fars,’ the local term for Persia). Unfortunately, due to increasingly sparse numbers (UNESCO estimates that by 2020 there will be only 25,000 Parsis left), UNESCO has begun an effort to preserve what remains of their culture—clothing, traditions, and food.

One popular myth surrounding their arrival at Sanjan (Gujarat) is that an Indian ruler called Jadi Rana sent a glass full of milk to the Parsi seeking asylum with a message that his kingdom was already full of people. The Zoroastrian immigrants responded by adding sugar (or a ring in some versions) into the milk as a symbol of assimilation into their new community and culture, like “sugar in milk.” As time passed on, the Parsi embraced their new home and fully integrated themselves into Indian and Pakistani society through the adoption of local languages (Gujarati and Sindhi) and economic contributions. They later migrated to other places like Navsari, Udvada, Bharuch, Valsad, Tarapore, and Billimora, and later to Surat and Mumbai to trade with the British. Celebrating this touching tale of assimilation, Ravo is a classic Parsi sweet dish of milk and sugar traditionally served on special occasions.

The Parsi community has been blessed with many notable members, including the legendary Rock icon and lead singer of Queen – Freddie Mercury, Dr. Homi Bhabha, who currently serves as Harvard University’s Director of the Mahindra Humanities Center, as well as Zubin Mehta, who is known for conducting for both the Los Angeles and New York Philharmonic Orchestras. One of the most successful Parsi entrepreneurs of all time was Jamshedji Tata – founder of one of the world’s largest industrial conglomerates – the Tata Group. Today, Tata owns several acclaimed automotive brands, such as Jaguar and Land Rover, a testament to Jamshedji’s legacy.

Parsi food has long been a prominent part of the culinary landscape in India and other parts of South Asia. Unfortunately, as the Parsi population dwindles and fewer people are exposed to the cuisine, it is becoming increasingly rare. According to renowned chef and cookbook author Niloufer King, “Parsi cooking is one of the least known cuisines in the world.” She goes on to explain how the unique marriage of ingredients one might find in Parsi dishes creates a truly unique flavor experience: “Coming from desert plateaus in Iran to this incredibly fertile coastal plain with fish jumping out of the water. Coconuts, and mangoes, layered on top of the Hindu influence of the Muslims, the British, and the Portuguese—you could call it a kind of magpie cooking. When we see something appealing, we fly off with it to our nests, take its gems and make something that’s ours out of it.”

Parsi cuisine is a unique and flavorful blend of Indian and Persian influences, characterized by the use of a wide variety of aromatic spices, sweet and sour flavors, and ingredients such as meat, seafood, dairy products, rice, and bread. Parsi curry is an excellent example of a combination of Iran (nuts), Gujarat, and Maharashtra (coconut and spices) influences. This type of dish is a perfect illustration of the intermixing of culinary cultures.

The British, with their trading connections to India, also helped introduce the Parsis to Western cuisine. Parsis took many dishes from Britain and made them typically Parsi.

Meat, fish, and chicken are integral components in most Parsi meals; ingredients are used in moderation to preserve the subtle flavors that make Parsi food unique. Chilies and spices, such as cumin, हल्दी, tamarind, and coriander, provide a delicate balance.

Persian flavors are evident in the succulent meat and chicken dishes paired with vegetables such as potatoes, okra, spinach, and green peas and in the preparation of pulao, biryani, and Mughlai dishes. Parsi cuisine is renowned for its distinctive egg-based dishes, such as Akuri (Parsi-style scrambled eggs).

Parsi cuisine features a variety of delicious fish dishes, including patra ni machhi, which is made with a special adaptation of the coconut chutney found in this region. The sas ni machhi, a creation of the Parsi housewife, is also a popular choice and is based on the bechemel sauce of the West. One of the most well-known fish dishes in Parsi cuisine is the masala ni tareli machhi.

Dhan sakh, one of the most well-known dishes in Parsi cuisine, is thought to have evolved from the Iranian khoreste esfannaj, a dish made with meat, मसूर की दाल, and spinach. As tastes changed over time, spices were added to the dish to give it the distinctive flavor it is known for today.

The use of rose water in many Parsi sweets and beverages, such as ravo, sev, falooda, muram-bas, and sherbets, is also a legacy of Iranian cuisine. Pomegranates and dates are traditionally eaten during religious ceremonies to signify fertility and life, respectively. These flavors and ingredients are an important part of the Iranian culinary tradition found in Parsi cuisine.

Coconut for plenty, fish for luck, and rice to symbolize abundance are all popular items on any Parsi dinner table. These ingredients were adopted from the local cultures.

Parsi cuisine includes a variety of pickles and chutneys adapted from the western coast of India. तथापि, some pickles and chutneys uniquely Parsi include lagan nu achar, meva nu achar, gorkeri nu achar, gharab nu achar, bafenu, and tomato and mango chutneys. These flavorful condiments add an extra layer of taste and texture to Parsi dishes and are an integral part of the culinary tradition of this community.

Parsi cuisine includes a variety of rotlis and pooris made from wheat flour, millet, or milo, which are adapted from the state of Gujarat. Many tea-time snacks such as bhajias, patrel, bhel poori, sev, and choora are also influenced by Gujarati cuisine, as are the dals and vegetable preparations. तथापि, dishes like bhakra (a type of doughnut) and sadhna (steamed rice pancakes) made with toddy are uniquely Parsi.

Many factors, including the adoption of local flavors and ingredients, the influence of other Indian and South Asian cuisines, and the integration of Western culinary techniques and ingredients, have shaped Parsi cuisine. Dishes like dhansak (a spicy lentil and meat stew), patra ni machhi (fish coated in a spicy chutney and steamed in banana leaves), and keema pav (minced meat served with soft white bread) are popular in Parsi cuisine and showcase the unique blend of flavors and ingredients found in this tradition.

Despite its rich history and cultural significance, Parsi cuisine is in danger of being lost as the Parsi population dwindles and fewer people are exposed to this culinary tradition. तथापि, efforts are being made to preserve and promote Parsi cuisine, including through the work of chefs and cookbook authors helping bring this cuisine to a wider audience. Whether you’re a fan of spicy curries or savory stews, there is something for everyone in the vibrant and diverse world of Parsi cuisine.

Gordon Ramsay’s visit to a Biryani Chef

November 24, 2013 द्वारा स्टाफ लेखक

Biryani is a fragrant, festive rice dish made with chicken, mutton, fish, eggs, or vegetables and a variety of spice. The origins of Biryani are in dispute but largely Biryani was believed to have been invented in the kitchen of the Muslim Mughal Emperors and is still served at celebration banquets. Today you can find Biryani served throughout southeast Asia. The spicing and choice of ingredients changes but generally Biryani involves a long, slow cooking process that allows the flavors of the spices and meat to infuse into the rice.
