North Indian
The diet of North India is prohably the best balanced in the whole country from the nutritional point of view, a. it contains plenty of wheat, meat, milk, vegetables and fat. The cooking of North India shows the influence of the Moghuls, whose rich meat preparations were a characteristic feature of their diet.
The climate of North India has wide seasonal variations and the diet of these regions varies accordingly. During the cold months the body must have a diet rich in fats to keep it warm. During the hot summer months, however, North Indian meals are quite different, consisting mainly of milk, fruit and vegetable preparations.
The characteristic North Indian meal begins with a vegetable or meat dish-on special occasions both may be served. This is accompanied by a wheat preparation, such as chapati, poorie or paratha. Next, fried rice or pulao is generally served with a rich or plain curry. Finally comes a sweet, such as a halwa, to complete the meal.
Since cooking fat plays such an important part in North Indian food, it is most essential that the housewife should use only the best possible cooking medium for these recipes.
