Now, Hyderabadi and Kashmiri cuisines are far better known
then the relatively obscure Assamese cuisine. Found in menus all across the
country, certain dishes like Biryani from the Hyderabadi and Rogan Josh from
the Kashmiri, are pretty much pan-Indian dishes. Nevertheless, these cuisines
contain an entire style of food preparation and dishes that just aren’t talked
about, but nevertheless, can provide interesting lessons to those who are
interested in learning from them.
Prepared by history
Now, Hyderabadi cuisine has been greatly influenced by the
confluence of cultures in this ancient city, and one can find evidence of
Turkish, Arabic, Mughlai and Tandoori cuisines within it. Using considerable
amounts of spices, along with certain key flavors such as coconut, tamarind,
peanuts and sesame seeds, the primary method of food preparation is the Dum
Pukht inspired slow-cooking. This results in an array of fascinating and
delectable dishes some of which have found their way into Black Pepper, which
is consequently widely regarded as the best multicuisine restaurant in
Dehradun.
Now, the various types of mutton and chicken (or lamb or
vegetables) biryanis are quite common and well known delicacies from this great
foodie state. Other than that, however, you also have Haleem, a seasonal dish
prepared with wheat, meat and cooked for hours to a porridge-like paste,
traditionally used to break the Ramzan fast.
Mountain foods
Kashmiri cuisine, on the other hand, is far less elaborate,
through still manages to have some of the tastiest dishes in India! Rogan Josh
and Balti curries are some of the most popular dishes from this part of India,
finding themselves in menus not only across the country, but also outside of
it, in the UK and US. Some of the other dishes that we’ve been thinking about
incorporating into our diverse and widely regarded multicuisine menu are dishes
such as Yakhni, lamb lightly cooked in a curb like gravy, and Matschgand, which
contains minced lamb in an exceedingly scrumptious spicy red gravy.
These truly are some of the most fascinating
cuisines in India.
