Synopsis : From dal to samosas, paneer to vindaloo, dosa to naan, Indian food is diverse and wide-ranging?unsurprising when you consider India?s incredible range of climates, languages, religions, tribes, and customs. Its cuisine differs from north to south, yet what is it that makes Indian food recognizably Indian, and how did it get that way? To answer those questions, Colleen Taylor Sen examines the diet of the Indian subcontinent for thousands of years, describing the country?s cuisine in the context of its religious, moral, social, and philosophical development. ??????????? Exploring the ancient indigenous plants such as lentils, eggplants, and peppers that are central to the Indian diet, Sen depicts the country?s agricultural bounty and the fascination it has long held for foreign visitors. She illuminates how India?s place at the center of a vast network of land and sea trade routes led it to become a conduit for plants, dishes, and cooking techniques to and from the rest of the world.
