Question

Most Indians live on very plain diets based on staples such as rice, in the East and South,

chapattis that is flat wheat bread in north and north east, and bajra that is millet in the

Maharashtra region.

Many Indian meals are cooked in ghee that is clarified butter. Ghee is made by heating butter

to boil off water, then allowing it to cool and separate. Ghee is scooped off the top. Although

many Indians have simple diets. India has an ancient and varied tradition of fine cooking.

Curries are sauce dishes made with basic Indian spices like turmeric, cumin, coriander, and red

pepper. The word curry comes from the Tamil Kari, or sauce. The basis of a curry is masala, a

mix of spices, often blended with water or vinegar to make a paste.

South Indian vegetable curries are seasoned with hot blends like sambhar powder. Classic

North Indian Mughal dishes are often lamb or chicken based, and seasoned with milder garam

masala. An Indian meal is rarely served on a single plate. Instead, it comes in different dishes

which diners dip into. (8 marks)
