[shoku-and-awe]

Eric South biryani from 7-11! I don’t usually manage to try the restaurant collaborations but I was curious about this. It was better than I expected, but not worth a repeat (unless they did just the chicken).

Everything had kind of a gritty consistency (like the spices weren’t ground finely enough) and a slightly bitter aftertaste, almost like herbal medicine. That’s actually a problem I notice frequently here with curries that aren’t quite Indian but aren’t quite Japanese either. I wonder why that is.

Aaaa. I'm sorry I meant to ask SOUTH AFRICAN FOOD RECCOS

Oh I see! We are a multicultural country, and our food reflects that too. So food like burgers, pasta etc are extremely popular and part of our usual diet. Also, we are not the most vegetarian-friendly nation, so I do not too many recs for that. But here are a few South African "delicacies":

Bunny chow (basically South African curry in a massive bread bowl with carrot salad) SO GOOD!

Durban style biryani - very different to Indian styles of biryani and is kinda more like a pulao and has lentils etc. (CAN BE VEGETARIAN)

Wors rolls with onions, a mix of peri, and all gold tomato sauce, omfg drooling!

Biltong and droëwors (my all-time favourite snack).

Rusks (must be dipped in Ceylon aka five roses tea)

Braai. - our version of a BBQ - but we DO not do stuff like hotdogs, etc. Braais are often chicken pieces, sosaties, lamb chops, wors, and steak, served with potato or baked beans salad or chakalaka. Meat is also seasoned with a bunch of local marinades and it is very common to add beer.

Braai broodtjies (basically sandwich toasted on the braai, can be vegetarian ... most common being cheese)

Potjiekos - can be a stew or curry cooked long and slow in a 3-legged pot for HOURS ... so divine.

Mosbolletjies - delicious sweet bread ahhhh with a ton of butter

Beerbread

Samp + beans and mutton curry (can be veg curry) - a fusion of Zulu and Indian culture - cook separately and then add all together in one pot and ahhhh so divine.

Steak with biltong cheese sauce with creamy spinach, butternut and chips.

Burgers with either biltong, mushroom or monkey gland sauce

Peri peri chicken livers or giblets

Malva pudding

Milk tart

Peppermint crisp tart

Tinroof ice cream (not a fave of mine tbh)

ABOUT INDIAN FOOD in USA

You will get know more about the best restaurants Around the world

INDIAN FOOD consists of a variety of regional and traditional cuisines native to India. Given the diversity in soil, climate, culture, ethnic groups, and occupations, these cuisines vary substantially and use locally available spices, herbs, vegetables, and fruits.

Indian food is also heavily influenced by religion, in particular Hinduism and Islam, cultural choices.

Historical events such as invasions, trade relations, and colonialism have played a role in introducing certain foods to this country. The Columbian discovery of the New World brought a number of new vegetables and fruit to India. A number of these such as potatoes, tomatoes, chillies, peanuts, and guava have become staples in many regions of India.

INDIAN FOOD has shaped the history of international relations; the spice trade between India and Europe was the primary catalyst for Europe's Age of Discovery.

Spices were bought from India and traded around Europe and Asia. INDIAN FOOD has influenced other cuisines across the world, especially those from Europe (especially Britain), the Middle East, Southern African, East Africa, Southeast Asia, North America, Mauritius, Fiji, Oceania, and the Caribbean.

HISTORY OF INDIAN FOOD NON-VEGETARIAN

INDIAN FOOD reflects an 8,000-year history of various groups and cultures interacting with the Indian subcontinent, leading to a diversity of flavors and regional cuisines found in modern-day India. Later, trade with British and Portuguese influence added to the already diverse INDIAN FOOD.

After 9000 BCE, the first period of indirect contact between the Fertile Crescent and Indus Valley civilizations seems to have occurred due to the Neolithic Revolution and the diffusion of agriculture. Around 7000 BCE, agriculture spread from the Fertile Crescent to the Indus Valley, and wheat and barley began to be grown. Sesame and humped cattle were domesticated in the local farming communities.

 Mehrgarh is one of South Asia's earliest sites with evidence of farming and herding. From circa 4500 to 1900 BC the rulers of Lower Mesopotamia were Sumerians who spoke a non-Indo-European and non-Semitic language, may have initially come from India and may have been related to the original Dravidian population of India.

By 3000 BCE, turmeric, cardamom, black pepper and mustard were harvested in India.

From Around 2350 BCE the evidence for imports from the Indus to Ur in Mesopotamia have been found, as well as Clove heads which are thought to originate from the Moluccas in Maritime Southeast Asia were found in a 2nd millennium BC site in Terqa. Akkadian Empire records mention timber, carnelian and ivory as being imported from Meluhha by Meluhhan ships, Meluhha being generally considered as the Mesopotamian name for the Indus Valley Civilization.

VEDIC AGE

VEGETARIAN

The ancient Hindu text Mahabharata mentions rice and vegetable cooked together, and the word "pulao" or "pallao" is used to refer to the dish in ancient Sanskrit works, such as Yājñavalkya Smṛti. Ayurveda, ancient Indian system of wellness, deals with holistic approach to the wellness, and it includes food, dhyana (meditation) and yoga.

ANTIQUITY

Early diet in India mainly consisted of legumes, vegetables, fruits, grains, dairy products, and honey.

Staple foods eaten today include a variety of lentils (dal), whole-wheat flour (aṭṭa), rice, and pearl millet (bājra), which has been cultivated in the Indian subcontinent since 6200 BCE.

Over time, segments of the population embraced vegetarianism during the Śramaṇa movement while an equitable climate permitted a variety of fruits, vegetables, and grains to be grown throughout the year.

A food classification system that categorised any item as saatvic, raajsic, or taamsic developed in Yoga tradition. The Bhagavad Gita proscribes certain dietary practices.

Consumption of beef is taboo, due to cows being considered sacred in Hinduism.[14] Beef is generally not eaten by Hindus in India except for Kerala, parts of southern Tamil Nadu and the north-east.

PICKLES

FOOD MENTIONED IN ANECIENT INDIAN SCRIPTURE

While many ancient Indian recipes have been lost in history, one can look at ancient texts to see what was eaten in ancient and pre-historic India.

Barley—(known as Yava in both Vedic and Classical Sanskrit) is mentioned many times in Rigveda and other Indian scriptures as one of the principal grains in ancient India

Betel leaf—primary use is as a wrapper for the chewing of areca nut or tobacco, where it is mainly used to add flavour; may also be used in cooking, usually raw, for its peppery taste

Breadfruit—fritters called jeev kadge phodi in Konkani or kadachakka varuthath in Malayalam are a local delicacy in coastal Karnataka and Kerala

Chickpeas—popular dishes are made with chickpea flour, such as mirchi bajji and mirapakaya bajji

Curd—a traditional yogurt or fermented milk product, originating from the Indian subcontinent, usually prepared from cow's milk, and sometimes buffalo milk, or goat milk

Figs —cultivated from Afghanistan to Portugal, also grown in Pithoragarh in the Kumaon hills of India; from the 15th century onwards, also grown in areas including Northern Europe and the New World

Ghee—a class of clarified butter that originated in ancient India, commonly used in the Indian subcontinent, Middle-Eastern cuisine, traditional medicine, and religious rituals

Grape wine —first-known mention of grape-based wines in India is from the late 4th-century BC writings of Chanakya

Honey —the spiritual and supposed therapeutic use of honey in ancient India was documented in both the Vedas and the Ayurveda texts

Mango—the Jain goddess Ambika is traditionally represented as sitting under a mango tree

Mustard —brown mustard is a spice that was cultivated in the Indus Valley civilization and is one of the important spices used in the Indian subcontinent today

Pomegranate—in some Hindu traditions, the pomegranate (Hindi: anār) symbolizes prosperity and fertility, and is associated with both Bhoomidevi (the earth goddess) and Lord Ganesha (the one fond of the many-seeded fruit)

Rice—cultivated in the Indian subcontinent from as early as 5,000 BC

Rice cake—quite a variety are available

Rose apple—mainly eaten as a fruit and also used to make pickles (chambakka achar)

Saffron —almost all saffron grows in a belt from Spain in the west to Kashmir in the east

Salt —considered to be a very auspicious substance in Hinduism and is used in particular religious ceremonies like house-warmings and weddings; in Jainism, devotees lay an offering of raw rice with a pinch of salt before a deity to signify their devotion, and salt is sprinkled on a person's cremated remains before the ashes are buried

Sesame oil —popular in Asia, especially in Korea, China, and the South Indian states of Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu, where its widespread use is similar to that of olive oil in the Mediterranean

Sorghum—commonly called jwaarie, jowar, jola, or jondhalaa, sorghum is one of the staple sources of nutrition

Sugar—produced in the Indian subcontinent since ancient times, its cultivation spread from there into modern-day Afghanistan through the Khyber Pass

Sugarcane—the earliest known production of crystalline sugar began in northern India; the earliest evidence of sugar production comes from ancient Sanskrit and Pali texts

Turmeric —used widely as a spice in South Asian and Middle Eastern cooking

Middle Ages to the 16th Century

VEG DUM BIRYANI

During the Middle Ages, several Indian dynasties were predominant, including the Gupta dynasty. Travel to India during this time introduced new cooking methods and products to the region, including tea.

India was later invaded by tribes from Central Asian cultures, which led to the emergence of Mughlai cuisine, a mix of Indian and Central Asian cuisine. Hallmarks include seasonings such as saffron.

Colonial Period

The Portuguese and British during their rule introduced cooking techniques such as baking, and foods from the New World and Europe.

The new-world vegetables popular in cuisine from the Indian subcontinent include tomato, potato, sweet potatoes, peanuts, squash, and chilli. Most New World vegetables such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, Amaranth, peanuts and cassava based Sago are allowed on Hindu fasting days. Cauliflower was introduced by the British in 1822. In the late 18th/early 19th century, an autobiography of a 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 FOOD in the United Kingdom.

INGREDIENTS

Staple foods of INDIAN FOOD include pearl millet (bājra), rice, whole-wheat flour (aṭṭa), and a variety of lentils, such as masoor (most often red lentils), tuer (pigeon peas), urad (black gram), and moong (mung beans). Lentils may be used whole, dehusked—for example, dhuli moong or dhuli urad—or split. Split lentils, or dal, are used extensively, Some pulses, such as channa or cholae (chickpeas), rajma (kidney beans), and lobiya (black-eyed peas) are very common, especially in the northern regions. Channa and moong are also processed into flour (besan).

Many Indian dishes are cooked in vegetable oil, but peanut oil is popular in northern and western India, mustard oil in eastern India, and coconut oil along the western coast, especially in Kerala and parts of southern Tamil Nadu, Gingelly (sesame) oil is common in the south since it imparts a fragrant, nutty aroma.

In recent decades, sunflower, safflower, cottonseed, and soybean oils have become popular across India, Hydrogenated vegetable oil, known as Vanaspati ghee, is another popular cooking medium, Butter-based ghee, or deshi ghee, is used commonly.

Many types of meat are used for Indian cooking, but chicken and mutton tend to be the most commonly consumed meats. Fish and beef consumption are prevalent in some parts of India, but they are not widely consumed except for coastal areas, as well as the north east.

The most important and frequently used spices and flavourings in INDIAN FOOD are whole or powdered chilli pepper (mirch, introduced by the Portuguese from Mexico in the 16th century), black mustard seed (sarso), cardamom (elaichi), cumin (jeera), turmeric (haldi), asafoetida (hing), ginger (adrak), coriander (dhania), and garlic (lasoon).

One popular spice mix is garam masala, a powder that typically includes seven dried spices in a particular ratio, including black cardamom, cinnamon (dalchini), clove (laung), cumin (jeera), black peppercorns, coriander seeds and anise star.

Each culinary region has a distinctive garam masala blend—individual chefs may also have their own. Goda masala is a comparable, though sweet, spice mix popular in Maharashtra. Some leaves commonly used for flavouring include bay leaves (tejpat), coriander leaves, fenugreek (methi) leaves, and mint leaves. The use of curry leaves and roots for flavouring is typical of Gujarati and South INDIAN FOOD.

Seeraga Samba Ghee Rice: A Fragrant Delicacy from South India

Seeraga Samba Ghee Rice is a simple yet flavorful South Indian dish that is widely cherished for its rich aroma and delicate taste. Made with Seeraga Samba rice, a fragrant and fine variety of rice grown predominantly in Tamil Nadu, this dish holds a special place in traditional Tamil cuisine. The combination of aromatic spices, pure ghee, and the unique characteristics of seeraga samba ghee rice make it an irresistible dish that is often served during special occasions and festive celebrations.

The Unique Seeraga Samba Rice

Seeraga Samba rice is distinct from other rice varieties due to its small, fine grains and its ability to absorb flavors beautifully. The name ‘Seeraga’ is derived from ‘Seeragam,’ the Tamil word for cumin, as the grains resemble cumin seeds in size. This rice is primarily cultivated in the delta regions of Tamil Nadu, particularly in Thanjavur, where the climate and soil contribute to its unique aroma and taste. Unlike Basmati rice, which elongates upon cooking, Seeraga Samba rice remains short and fluffy, making it ideal for dishes like biryanis and ghee rice.

The Essence of Ghee in Seeraga Samba Ghee Rice

Ghee plays a crucial role in this dish, imparting a rich, nutty flavor and an irresistible aroma. Traditionally, homemade ghee is preferred, as it enhances the dish's overall taste. The use of ghee not only adds depth to the flavor but also contributes to the dish’s health benefits, including better digestion and improved immunity. The combination of Seeraga Samba rice and ghee creates a dish that is both nutritious and delicious.

Serving Suggestions

Seeraga Samba Ghee Rice pairs wonderfully with a variety of accompaniments. It is often served with vegetable kurma, spicy chicken curry, or a simple raita. The mild and aromatic flavors of the rice balance well with rich, spicy gravies. It can also be enjoyed on its own, with a side of crispy papad or pickles, making for a comforting and wholesome meal.

Health Benefits of Seeraga Samba Ghee Rice

Apart from its incredible taste, Seeraga Samba Ghee Rice also offers several health benefits. Seeraga Samba rice is known for its high fiber content, which aids digestion and helps in maintaining gut health. It is also rich in antioxidants and has a low glycemic index, making it a better choice for diabetics compared to regular white rice. Ghee, on the other hand, is a powerhouse of healthy fats that support brain function, enhance immunity, and promote good skin health. Together, these ingredients make Seeraga Samba Ghee Rice a nutritious yet indulgent dish.

Cultural Significance of Seeraga Samba Ghee Rice

In Tamil Nadu seeraga samba ghee rice is often associated with special occasions, including weddings and religious festivals. It is commonly used in making biryanis and celebratory rice dishes due to its aromatic properties. The tradition of cooking rice with ghee has been followed for generations, reflecting the deep-rooted culinary heritage of South India.

Conclusion

Seeraga Samba Ghee Rice is a timeless dish that showcases the richness of Tamil cuisine. Its simplicity, combined with the depth of flavors from aromatic spices and pure ghee, makes it a delightful meal for both everyday dining and festive occasions.
