Actually, the most difficult thing to answer when asked by Japanese people is the question, "Do Indians eat curry every day?"You can say "yes" or "no".
When you think of Indian food, you probably think of curry first, but the word curry was born in West India and is not so familiar to most Indians. Rice is the staple food in only a limited part of India.
However, everything is seasoned with masala (spices), so it can be said that everything is curry.
Recently, there are Indian restaurants all over Japan, and you can enjoy the authentic taste while you are in Japan, but when you come to India, the taste is slightly different.There are many different ways of cooking in India. Therefore, it is not a national dish. Cooking methods and ingredients vary from region to region and from individual home to individual home.
First of all, there are surprisingly few soup-like curries to eat in Japan.In addition, it is noticed that India has many vegetarians and many vegetable dishes that do not use meat.If North India's signature dish is the familiar naan roti and spicy curry, South India's signature dish is dosa.Masala dosa, which is made by steaming potatoes with curry and wrapping them in crispy crepes on the outside, is popular all over India.India is a very large country. Since the ethnic groups and cultures are different from north to south, it is natural that the dishes are different.
There is also a set meal in India. It is called Thali in North India and Meals in the south. Why don't you try this set meal first? Along with rice and roti (nan, chapati, and pulley), there are a variety of side dishes such as stewed vegetable curry and bean soup. I hope you can enjoy many flavors at once.
The photo on the right is a vegetable dish from North India. The spicy, sweet, sour and deep taste will stimulate your taste buds.Also, among the many spices used in India, only chili is spicy. If you don't have Chile, you should be able to enjoy authentic Indian food!
Luxury hotels include Indian and Western restaurants with a great atmosphere, as well as cheap and delicious restaurants crowded with locals.Even if you are not good at Indian food, it's okay! In urban areas, you can also find French, Italian, Spanish, Mexican, Chinese, Japanese and Tibetan food.Most of the dishes from other countries are in restaurants in luxury hotels, but recently it has become possible to taste them in restaurants in the suburbs.
f you miss fast food, there are plenty of familiar shops such as McDonald's, Pizza Hut, Domino's Pizza and Subway.McDonald's in India sells "I don't use any beef", which is a big difference from 100% Japanese beef.Every shop has a vegetarian menu. Mack's Veggie Burger has a fresh taste with croquettes sandwiched between them. Please try McDonald's in India.In addition, cafes have become popular these days, and baristas, which boast a considerable number of stores throughout India, are crowded with fashionable young people. There are also many youth bars in the city, such as TGI Friday's.
