Thanks for this post, Devaki! An excellent introduction to the various cuisines of India, as well as dispelling some common misperceptions. As someone who enjoys but does not know much about Indian cookery, I found it quite educational!

Alas, when talking about 'ethnic' foods--the popular ones at least--it is always necessary to unteach as well as teach. I find the same is true of Italian cooking.

By the way, do you have any books to recommend for further reading on the subject?

Hi Devaki
I am new to cookeatshare and happen to read your blog post.
Superbly written, very well exexcuted, and yes we dont make curries. that is a very popular misconception about indian cuisine.

One more thing I would like to mention, what about those vegetables we cook without any gravy (like sukhi sabzi) ?

And finally on "panchphoron" the bengali spice we dont add mustard in it . Its called radhuni looks like a anise and has a flavour similar to fennel. Since it is not found outside West bengal, so people might have replaced it with mustard.

Any way great post on Indian cuisine.

Sukanya
