Food Revolution in India

Its an exciting time to be in India for a foodie.The industry is in experimental mode and newer cuisines are catching customers attention.Even our own humble regional cuisines are coming out of four walls and becoming talk of town.The fusion of different cuisine is happening and world is coming closer with one sense organ that is 'taste'.With the normal people like me sharing their recipes on blog and Enterpreneurs trying new ideas for their eateries,a new food channel for 24 hours,food shows touching all sorts of dimensions and our chefs trained abroad are bringing with them a whole new world of food I believe the country is obsessed with food now.

I think now Indian kitchen has whole lot of various new members in pantry, Olive oil is one such welcomed one. Herbs our mothers never heard of are almost essential to us now (oregano,basil.parsley,chives,thyme)
Baking is one such new introduction to us ,a humble cake is being added by homecooked various
muffins,cupcakes,fudges and cookies.Talking of chinese it is our cousin cuisine now.Thai food quite similar to our own taste is becoming a rage .Italian cuisine is something people opt to go out for dining formally.Different  variety of 'cheese' are securing their place in refrigerator and various salad dressings are ready to be consumed out there.

Television is playing a pivotal role in bringing shows on road side eateries by Rocky and Mayur(highway on my plate),Kaccha Rasta by Aditya Bal is trying to bring hidden regional food right in front of million viewers.Career in food is another door opened for the youngsters of India and we are comfortable in looking with pride at our future chefs.Even 'food photography' is one new option opened for various magazines and sites,wanting a delicate mouth watering beautifully crafted dish to appeal the readers.Now when I step to eat out I do check food reviews on the decided place and that opens a door to food review websites listing all good places in various cities.So finally we have arrived to a whole new India ready to experiment and  become a part of gastronomical journey.
The Indian ladies are replacing sushi with snack in kitty parties and Thai curry with Indian meals for dining out.
Its funtime now!!!!
