The
Mughal Empire 1483 - 1757
Indian cooking has been influenced over
the centuries by history, geography and religion. Indian cooking can be roughly divided into north and south (with
some deviation along the coastline).
In the north, over the centuries, waves of conquerors
have come and gone, each leaving their influence
on the architecture, the arts, the culture and
the food. The Mughal
Dynasty in over 300 years of rule certainly
formed an important empire that brought one of
the greatest epochs of Indian Sarenic architecture exemplified
by the creation of the Taj Mahal. Mughal art is found in music, illuminated manuscripts,
decorative inlay work on Indian cuisine which still finds echoes in many of the finer
dishes of the north to this day.
The northern Indian Mughal cuisine evolved not out of the basic necessity to eat
but rather to create a cuisine that was rich with the use of spices, herbs and
sauces to satisfy the palates of the courts or
the many royal princes and aristocracy.
Outside India, Indian cooking is often dismissed in one word - curry - but the real glory and challenge of Indian cooking with its bewildering
and very sophisticated different styles, techniques
and selection, lies in obtaining the 'right' combination
of the many spices which go to create the flavour
called 'curry' and which we of
the "Mughal Dynasty"
guarantee to dispel forever the myth that all Indian food is a series of monotonous
yellow-colour 'currie'
