Curry - Curries of The Indian Subcontinent

Curries of The Indian Subcontinent

From the culinary point of view, it is useful to consider the Indian subcontinent to be the entire historical region encompassed prior to Independence and the Partition of India in August 1947; that is, the modern countries of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka. It is usual to distinguish broadly between "northern" and "southern" styles of Indian cuisine, recognizing that within those categories are innumerable sub-styles and variations. The distinction is commonly made with reference to the staple starch: wheat in the form of unleavened breads in the north; rice in the south.

Famous quotes containing the word indian:

    This Indian camp was a slight, patched-up affair, which had stood there several weeks, built shed-fashion, open to the fire on the west.... Altogether it was about as savage a sight as was ever witnessed, and I was carried back at once three hundred years.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
