Best Cuisines around the Globe

By Thomas R. Reyes


Cuisines reflect the culture. Each region has different cuisines reflecting their cultural values. Also, cuisines are bound to change with history, time and civilization. There are loads of different cuisines all across the world. Each cuisine has a special savor and scent of it's kind. You may get shocked to find how same ingredients with different assort of spices may taste so different. To know about few, I would like to list down an analysis of some of the favored cuisines like Indian and Japanese cuisines.

Indian Curry:

Indian curries are like Singapore cuisines apropos cooking techniques and thus they were given their common name as Asian cuisines. These cuisines are famous for their rich taste of spices. In southern India, Fish curries form the most popular among spicy cuisines. Actually fish curries are tasty irrespective of the kind of fish. The entire credit is awarded to unique spices and methods used to cook. To make spice curries, it is just as important to keep their freshness alive. Indian curries are popular for their yellowish golden look as well as hot and spicy flavors. In fact , most western people aren't conscious that the taste and color of cuisines may change from area to area. I got to know about these cuisines during my trip to India last year. The dishes that taste in south may not taste similar if cooked in north. The rationale is again due to cultural and regional differences. One prime reason is the sort of oil utilized for cooking is very different from region to region. North Indians use sesame oil, while on contrary south Indians use coconut oil for same recipes concerned. This makes the taste different and gives a definite flavor.

India has a large coastline and thus, most Indians residing near coastal region have seafood as a vital part of their lives. Some popular seafood includes Sea fish, Prawns, Shellfish, Shrimps and Lobsters. There are various varieties like Flyer, Bombay Duck, Bangda, Surmai and others. Nevertheless fishes do not change the flavour of curries. Actually curries are prepared separately using the best spices. During the end part of cooking for near 10 to 30 minutes depending on the cooking styles, a fish is poured into the curries kept over low flames. This helps curry to keep its flavour in fish.

Japanese Curry:

Japanese curries are dissimilar in taste as compared to Indian cuisines. Unlike Indian curry, a Japanese curry is very tasty along with processed bread. Infrequently, Japanese curry served along with plain rice tastes good. In addition, some folks prefer it with Udon noodles. Unlike fish curries, Japanese also cook pork curries. Usually, pork curries are larger than the common fish curries. In addition, they require bigger bowls than fish curries. Actually Hong Kong recipes differ a lot from Japanese dishes.

Talking about the history of Japanese curries, English folks introduced the dish during the 2nd half the 18th century. Most houses in Japan make curry sauce that contains Flours, Curry powder and Oils. In reality owing to modernising, a precooked curry powder is available in stores that need simple boiling process to be in a position to serve. It is something like a two minutes noodle pack.
