Northern Indian Cuisine
The food from North India traces its
descent from Persian ancestors who started filtering in India from the
11th century A.D. onwards and then more definitely from
the 16th century A.D., when the Mughals came to power. The
Mughals brought with them Persian and Afghan cooks who started North
Indians on the rich and fragrant Persian rice dishes, such as pilafs
and biryanis (meat-based pilafs). Garnished with pounded silver
(vark), these dishes along with spicy kormas (braised meat in creamy
sauces), koftas (grilled spicy meatballs) and kababs used to grace
the tables of emperors. |
