The finest cooking in India was derived from the Mughals and did influence
the royal kitchens of India. Agra's traditional Persian-influenced cuisine
is renowned for its rich cream and curd-based sauces, kebabs, nan and
tandoori breads roasted in earthen ovens, pulao rice dishes and milky sweets
such as kheer. The great Muslim rulers brought their panache and elegance of
living to India's culinary scene. The idea of community dinning and lavish
and extravagant banquets were introduced to India. Dishes were served in
jade, silver and Chinese porcelain. The splendor of the Mughal/Muslim
cuisine is reflected in the Muglai Cuisine of India which is the richest and
the most lavish in the country. |
