Evolution of Non-Vegetarian Indian Recipes
Over the years both Vegetarian and Non-Vegetarian recipes in India have undergone various changes. Some research and documentation on the subject has been made by people and in result they have come up with a host of Indian Food Videos giving you a glimpse into the history and showing you systematically how the food habits in India, especially for the non-vegetarians changed with time.
For example, people in India eat goat meat, sheep meat, and chicken while they don’t use some other meats like beef and pork. Beef is a forbidden food for the Hindus while pork is a forbidden food for the Muslims. Thus there rarely is an Indian Cuisine that would contain preparations made of these two items.
Gravies, pilafs and kabas were introduced during the Islamic rules. Mughals were great patrons of cooking and they introduced some lavish dishes that are extremely popular even today. The pioneers in this regard were Jahangir and Shah Jahan. The Hyderabadi Biriyani stands out as one of the best India Recipes even today. Many tourists consider it as the finest dish of Indian food.
While English men introduced potato, the Portuguese introduced tomato, chili and squash. However meat products other than the goat, sheep and chicken started taking back seat hereinafter. On the other hand many recipes using eggs including the Cake introduced by Englishmen came to occupy important place in the list of Indian Recipes Especially with the introduction of the concept of Fast Food, egg became a very important component in such preparations.
