When it comes to Indian food, curry usually comes to mind immediately, but seriously, "India is different from what you think, there is no divine oil, no flying cake and no curry". In fact, the Indian concept of Curry is still quite vague, at least the Indian concept of Curry is different from ours.
The word curry itself is a concept full of misunderstandings. The word curry comes from Tamil Kari, which means sauce. It originated from the British who were puzzled by all kinds of paste food made of spices in India after landing in India for colonization. Although it is delicious, the colonized people can't put down their posture and ask for advice modestly, so the people who cooked in the dark gave full play to their superiority and creativity, and all kinds of similar dishes were falsely called curry, which spread all over the world with the colonial pace of the empire.
In fact, there are not many curry dishes in Indian cuisine, but there is a concept similar to what we call curry, called Ma Sala. It means to mix spices. The type and proportion of mixing are controlled by different dishes and chefs. Ma Sala, anyway.
India is the undisputed spice kingdom. There are not only many kinds of spices, but also many kinds. There are countless combinations and arrangements according to different dishes and practices. Indian chefs need to choose the best proportion among them to achieve the balance of dishes. It is also a job that tests the skills of the school.
Like us, India is an ancient country deeply influenced by traditional culture. In Ayurveda, a traditional Indian medical system, the properties of various foods and different states of the human body are also described and explained in detail. Therefore, different foods and spices should not only conform to the principle of taste balance, but also have a profound balance system in health.
In a word, Indian cooking technology is completely different from China cooking. If we simply and rudely evaluate Indian food from our point of view, it is naturally incomprehensible and not delicious. Instead of this, it is better to open your mind and observe and experience carefully. More or less, you will gain something.
The mutton Logan Josh introduced here is a signature dish in northern Kashmir and one of the popular dishes in Indian cuisine. Spices include garlic, onion, turmeric, various cardamom, cumin, dried Chili powder, yogurt and coriander. The taste is rich and slightly spicy. Students who love spicy food can try this dish, which is more delicious with baked butter naan.
Logan Josh usually cooks with mutton, and it is usually veal of mutton. Probably just a fixed game. If you ask if Logan Josh goes with chicken, I'm sorry, I don't know. I haven't seen it anyway.
