Indian Cuisine VS American Cuisine

When people visit distant lands, they bring their culture to the new land. This is how the fusion of cultures happens. Since Petpuja dot com is all about food, we will explore the fusion and differences between Indian and American cuisines. Indians are the biggest diaspora in the USA. Indian cuisine is known for its diverse and flavourful dishes. They use a wide range of spices, herbs, and vegetables. Popular dishes include butter chicken, biryani, samosas, and dal makhani. These are some of the most popular Indian dishes across the globe. Indian cooking also often involves traditional cooking techniques such as slow cooking and the use of a tandoor oven. Vegetarianism is widely practised in India, leading to a rich tradition of vegetarian dishes like chana masala, rajma-chawal, palak-paneer, aloo gobhi etc. Indian food can be enjoyed mild or spicy and is commonly served with rice or flatbread such as chapati, parantha or naan.

The name was so tempting and I could feel watering in my mouth thinking about those Delhi flavours. I am a diehard foodie of Delhi flavours. It was 6.45 PM. As I entered the place, I liked the sc

The Intertwined Relationship of Street Food and Cultural Heritage

Many small businesses, which are located in the vibrant alleys of cities all over the world, exude flavours that tell us their important stories about tradition, history, and identity. On top of purely culinary joys, street food is an expression of cultural heritage, which is simultaneously the mirror and the guardian of many different customs. Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | Twitter | Podcast | The Fusion of Flavours: The fusion of tastes of many different corners of the world is what makes street food a subject of discussion impossible.
