Tasting Indian and Nepalese food in Plympton

Exploring the food types are some people’s greatest passion. But many are confused with certain kinds of food. It is important to know about the cultural background of certain cuisines before sounding completely oblivious to it and making a fool of yourself. Since Nepal borders India, China and Tibet, you see culinary influences from all of those countries. India & Nepal share a love of zesty curry, flatbreads, turmeric, and rice. But unlike Indian food, Nepalese food does not utilize cream and hardly ever utilizes sugar and is usually considered healthier than Indian foods. You need to know the differences between Indian and Nepali food. There is delicious Nepali food of Plympton for you to experiment with.

What is conventional Nepalese food and how is it different from Indian food?

Nepal is a right melting pot of delicious foods, taking cookery cues from Indian, Tibetan, Chinese and other parts of Asia.

Like Indian food, Nepalese cooking shares the following spices, herbs in many of their dishes:

·         Turmeric

·         Garlic and ginger

·         Cilantro

·         Chile peppers

And their largely celebrated Momo Masala spice blend consists of the following spices, several of which are also popular in Indian cuisine:

Mustard, Coriander, Cardamom, Cinnamon, Onion, Cumin, Cloves, Garlic, Dry Ginger, Fenugreek, Turmeric, Red Chillies are some of them.

Like most Asian countries, Nepal is also dependent and digs on rice with pulao (fried rice) being in their daily diet. Like how rice dishes are frequently served in India, pulao is repeatedly accompanied with papadums and yogurt.  

Potatoes, lentils, and tomatoes too are fairly popular in Nepal, as with India, and like Indians, Nepali also loves many kinds of chutneys like a complement to their dishes. Both countries are also extensively known for food preparations with ghee (clarified butter).

One key way that the 2 cuisines vary is in their soups as the Nepali love Thukpa, a difference on chicken noodle soup (which can also be created with other meats or vegetables).

Another region where they vary is with a dish called Dhido, or Dheedo which has the texture of oatmeal or grits and is made with something called buckwheat flour (which is naturally gluten-free in spite of its name).

Today you will find pure vegetarian food in Plympton and Indian food with meat too (which is generally considered vegetarian) in various parts of Australia and other continents. So dig in as much as you can.
