Indian food has earned a favourite place on the global platter. People all over the world are crazy for Indian food and overseas Indian restaurants are really earning a huge profit. But what makes Indian food so popular?
Of course anyone will know that Indian food is delicious and some recipes date back hundreds of years making them exotic and mystifying. But what are the other reasons? Even small Indian restaurants Ryde see a huge crowd of people who are dying for a taste of India. Let’s find out from experts why Indian flavour seems so tempting and irresistible.
Recently celebrity Indian chef Kunal Kapur was caught saying in an interview to a newspaper, “Indian food is gaining a lot of popularity with Indian chefs coming up with unique things abroad. For the Western world, all of these ingredients are, to an extent, alienating. They are very inquisitive to understand what it is.” Kapur has a few cooking shows under his belt, has been a judge in Master Chef America and featured in some travel shows. He also owns his own Indian restaurant in Dubai. He considers it’s the contribution of Indian chefs who are creating a unique fusion and innovative version of traditional and regional Indian recipes and serving them to the outside world.
We also have some interesting insight from Nidhi Mahajan, who recently exited from the show of Master Chef Australia. She had overwhelmed the famous judges of the show with her desi dishes and cooking skill. According to her, "Indian food has made its place on the global platform. People around the world love Indian food for its flavours and versatility.” In the same email interview she cited versatility and history of Indian food for its success. Indian cuisine is huge and, “each dish, each ingredient, has a history behind it and how it became a part of our cuisine," she said. She also viewed higher awareness about Indian food as another cause of its popularity. People are realizing Indian food is not fattening or unhealthy. Daily Indian cuisine is in fact health promoting and not at all oily, hot or time taking to cook.
