Spicy Nibbles Curry

Spicy Nibbles Curry

The first curry recipe in Britain appeared in The Art of Cookery made Plain and Easy by Hannah Glasse in 1747 and first Indian curry house was opened in England in 1810 by an Bengali named Sake Dean Mahomed from the Bengal Presidency and since then Indian restaurants have been Britain's top on the food chain list. Throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries, curry grew increasingly popular in Britain owing to the large number of British civil servants and military personnel associated with the British Raj.

Dishes of highly spiced meat are thought to have originated in pre-historic times among the inhabitants of the Indus Valley Civilization. Archaeological evidence dating to 2600 BCE from Mohenjo-daro suggests the use of mortar and pestle to pound spices including mustard, fennel, cumin, and tamarind pods with which they flavored food. The establishment of the Mughal Empire, in the early 16th century, influenced the Indian cuisine, especially in the north. Curry was introduced to English cuisine starting with Anglo-Indian cooking in the 17th century as spicy sauces were added to bland boiled and cooked meats. If you like it please do use comment box below and do not forget to subscribe our site to get new recipes everyday, we don't just share the recipes from around the world, we dig the history for you to bring some of the best recipes for you and we bring the memories of ancient life into your kitchen.

Chicken Jalfrezi

Chicken Jalfrezi

Chicken Jalfrezi means marinated spicy chicken and this dish has influenced by Chinese Stir fried chicken. The dish was invented by The governor of Bengal Lord Marcus Sandys during British Raj. The governor was well known for his love of Indian spices and also gave England the gift of Worcestershire sauce by converting the Jaggery Chutney into Worcestershire sauce. The idea of chicken jalfrezi came when his staff would reheat the left overs and it first appeared in cookbooks of the British Raj as a way of using up leftovers . As the time passed, Indian restaurants adapted the method to make stir-fry with marinated meats. 

It is still one of the best dish eaten by rich and high class in India and Pakistan. As the dish includes green chillies, a jalfrezi can range in heat from a medium dish to a very hot one. Chicken jalfrezi is considered an Indian Chinese or Pakistani Chinese dish, with a mix of Chinese and South Asian cooking techniques used in its preparation. If you like it please do use comment box below and do not forget to subscribe our site to get new recipes everyday, we don't just share the recipes from around the world, we dig the history for you to bring some of the best recipes for you and we bring the memories of ancient life into your kitchen.

Izzy Hot Pasta

Izzy Hot Pasta

They say Italians have style, food and pasta but how much of that is true. Arabs were enjoying noodles centuries before Marco Polo imported pasta from china in  the time of the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368). Chinese had been consuming noodles as early as 3000 B.C. In Greek mythology, it is believed that the god Hephaestus invented a device that made strings of dough. This was the earliest reference to a pasta maker. I think it does not matter who originated this delicious and healthy food but i do believe no one made use of this food better then the Italians.

The benefits of pasta are not only to your body but it is one of the least intensive foods to produce. Pasta is more energy dense than fruits and vegetables, which are harder to grow, transport and store year-round. As the planet continues to move toward climate uncertainty, food choices will need to make the best use of the earth’s precious resources. A 2010 report on Sustainable Diets and Biodiversity from the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization recognized the Mediterranean Diet as a sustainable diet, due to its biocultural diversity. Indeed, pasta is a key harbor of this diversity, as it is used as a canvas for a number of different seasonal ingredients. If you like it please do use comment box below and do not forget to subscribe our site to get new recipes everyday, we don't just share the recipes from around the world, we dig the history for you to bring some of the best recipes for you and we bring the memories of ancient life into your kitchen.

Mughlai Chicken Korma

Mughlai Chicken Korma

They would say anyone who could cook a Korma he could cook for the Moghul court. It is the dish you can say matches the heights of Mughal empire which ran from Kabul to Dehli. The empire was so big that by the time British left six huge nations were carved out of it. Today almost 40% of the world's population lives in just that part of the world which was ruled by the Mughals. Their favorite hobbies were hunting and eating, so you can imagine if Korma was treated as a special dish by the people who gave us 1000s of the best dishes in the history then that dish must be something.

Korma is an Urdu word derived from Turkish word kavurma meaning "cooked meat". Even after 500 years the dish is still treated as a special occasion food, and surprisingly the method has not changed. If you like it please do use comment box below and do not forget to subscribe our site to get new recipes everyday, we don't just share the recipes from around the world, we dig the history for you to bring some of the best recipes for you and we bring the memories of ancient life into your kitchen.

Naan is an chapati like pita bread of Asia and probably the most loved bread for all occasions throughout Asia. It has been one of most important bread in Asian restaurants throughout Europe and America for few decades, also plays big role in fast food chains in Europe. Naans play important part in all types of ceremonies and occasions in Asian societies throughout the world. But one would be surprised to see history books are almost blank about this most important food, there is not much i could find about when it was introduced and who had the brain to come up with such an delicious recipe, The first recorded history of Naan can be found in the notes of the Indo-Persian poet Amir Kusro in 1300 AD.

Naan was originally cooked at the Imperial Court in Delhi as naan-e-tunuk (light bread) and naan-e-tanuri (cooked in a tandoor oven). During the Mughal era in India. Today in India and Pakistan naan is cooked in lots of different verities like Plain Naan, Garlic Naan, Kulcha Naan, Keema Naan list caries on. Today i am going to share one of most famous naan called Roghani Naan, very simple and Delicious. If you like it please do use comment box below and do not forget to subscribe our site to get new recipes everyday, we don't just share the recipes from around the world, we dig the history for you to bring some of the best recipes for you and we bring the memories of ancient life into your kitchen.

Izzy Fried Chicken

Izzy Fried Chicken

I have searched through lots of history books and searched online for ancient food and have come across one food in common with all the cultures and societies and that is chicken. Chicken is the most famous meat in the world, not only because it is the healthiest meat but also because there are so many dishes you can do with chicken and when it comes to taste it has no rival. Chicken meat contains about two to three times as much polyunsaturated fat than most types of red meat. Chicken includes low fat in the meat itself excluded the skin because skin does contains high level fat.

I have seen 100s of dishes cooked with chicken meat just in Indian Sub-continent and if you look around the world the count goes into thousands. Just in food chain outlets chicken earns them billions of dollars every year. Every food chain or food store will have different types if chicken but for me i think KFC beats them all, with all the respect due to KFC i am going to share my own recipe and believe me i have worked hard for this recipe and the end result is simply yummy and better then most, this recipe is for people who love their chicken spicy and juicy. If you like it please do use comment box below and do not forget to subscribe our site to get new recipes everyday, we don't just share the recipes from around the world, we dig the history for you to bring some of the best recipes for you and we bring the memories of ancient life into your kitchen.

Fish Kabsa

Fish Kabsa

Al-Kabsa is a traditional Saudi dish made of meat and rice with spices and nuts adding extra taste and flavor to it. Al-Kabsa is a dish you can say between Biryani and Palao as the similarity is quite close. It is served on all special occasions like Eid, Weddings, Ramdhan or parties, it is believed to be indigenous to Yemen but is being enjoyed as a Saudi National dish. Al-Kabsa is a very flavorful and tasty dish with less spices where the Biryani and Pulao are more spicier then Al-Kabsa. People use different techniques for cooking the meat for this dish but the traditional way is rice are cooked in chicken stock and believe me it make lots of difference and the rice be very flavorful, simply take the chicken out of stock once its cooked and cook the rice in left over stock.

Tiramisu Cake

Tiramisu Cake

Italian food is as famous as Italian fashion and some of the dishes Rome has given to the world are not only delicious but rule the food chains around the Globe. Romans introduced some of the best food recipes and it was the Romans who introduced flour mills to the world. But still i think there is lot more then we find in history books, Roman culture was more then just the wine, fruit and sex what we see in the movies and books. Before Muslims Rome was the only power which ruled Euro Asia and Africa, but for some reason we don't find as much written about their food as it should or we don't we intend to forget and this important issue. One thing i don't understand is why do we ignore the important issue which an civilization thrive upon and as history suggests civilizations have been destroyed because of it as well.

Tiramisu cake is an Italian dessert meaning "cheer me up" and believe me it does cheer you up. This delicious dessert was introduced in 1960s in the region of Veneto Italy. If you like it please do use comment box below and do not forget to subscribe our site to get new recipes everyday, we don't just share the recipes from around the world, we dig the history for you to bring some of the best recipes for you and we bring the memories of ancient life into your kitchen.

Get your serving dish ready. Put the coffee into a shallow dish and dip in a few sponge fingers at a time, turning for a few seconds until they are nicely soaked, but not soggy. Layer these into your dish until you have used half the biscuits, then spread over half of the creamy mixture. Using the coarse side of the grater, grate over most of the chocolate. Then repeat the layers (you should use up all the coffee), finishing with the creamy layer.

Cover and chill for a few hrs or overnight. This can now be kept in the fridge for up to 2 days. To serve, dust with cocoa powder and grate over the remainder of the chocolate.
