"Michelin Love" tells the story of how the chef of a Michelin-starred restaurant in the south of France helped a 22-year-old young man from an Indian restaurant across the street become a famous chef.
Indian restaurants, like Chinese restaurants and Japanese restaurants, have also opened all over the world. India is also known as the country of gourmet food. However, in many people’s minds, they are not so sympathetic to Indian food.
As shown on our major media platforms, Indians are either cooking rice and noodles in a daze, or mixing a pile of suspiciously colored paste... Such a place can really be called A country of gourmet food?
In fact, don’t underestimate India. According to the point of view conveyed in "Michelin Love", if French food is the representative of exquisite high-end catering, then India is the most delicious food in Yeluzi. After With orthodox training and packaging, Indian food can also become a world-class delicacy - of course this only represents the values ??conveyed by Western movies. In fact, putting these aside, Indian food is indeed very good and delicious.
Indian food also has a basic foundation.
Before independence from British colonial rule, the South Asian subcontinent in which India currently resides had never formed a unified country. It had diverse ethnic groups and languages, and its diets also varied.
For example, the races in northern India are similar to those in Pakistan. They are all descendants of the Aryans and are high castes with white skin. They are actually related by blood to the Central Asian countries and the ethnic minorities in Xinjiang, and they are also able to communicate with each other in terms of language, so their food is relatively similar. Delicious barbecue, naan and pilaf are their main diet. Especially the Muslim community, whose staple food is beef and mutton, is very characteristic of Xinjiang cuisine.
The northeastern part of India borders Tibet and Nepal. It was once conquered by the Tibetan Empire in history. Therefore, the race is similar to East Asia, and the diet has Tibetan characteristics. Drink milk tea (butter tea), eat Tsampa, yak jerky, etc.;
In central India, there are Dravidians, who are the earliest aborigines in South Asia. According to genetic testing, they are related to Spanish and Moroccans. The Dravidians have lived in the Indian mainland for a long time and are familiar with the agricultural products here. Curry, a seasoning based on turmeric and a combination of various spices, was invented by the Dravidians. It fully reflects the richness and richness of plants in the hot climate of South Asia. It is worth mentioning that most Dravidians believe in Hinduism and are vegetarians, so authentic curries are mainly vegetarian.
As for southern India, they are mainly Negritos and primitive Australians. Looking back, these people are the same people as the Pacific Islands and Australian aborigines. They are also good at cooking various animals, plants and fruits using original barbecue and boiling methods. He is especially good at cooking various fish from the Indian Ocean. The famous Sri Lankan grilled fish has crispy skin and juicy and chewy meat, which is very distinctive.
With the support of many ethnic groups and complex food cultures, Indian cuisine has shown a colorful style. Unlike the eight major Chinese cuisines, which are masters and apprentices of each other, the various factions of Indian cuisine are based on race. Different from languages, they grow independently and wildly. Therefore, although Indian food does not become a complete system like Chinese food, it can learn from the strengths of many families, coupled with hundreds of years of skillful application of spices. , there is really something remarkable about Indian cuisine.
