Indian cuisine — , Temple vegetarian
Decide the order of Indian cuisine before the pan is hot. “Temple vegetarian” in names that order, and 8 is heat, salt, or time. Do not treat a restaurant photo’s gloss as a quantity. The south ferments rice and lentil batters; the north bakes bread in tandoors. Bengal butters fish in mustard; Gujarat builds sweet-savoury vegetarian thalis; Hyderabad and Lucknow keep a Mughal rice-and-meat court.
The home pantry around Tadka and the labour behind Masala dosa rarely fit a takeaway box. Are restaurant versions "authentic"? Restaurant Indian cuisine is one register. Home pots and market stalls are others. Authenticity is a marketing word; technique is not. भारतीय व्यंजन is the local name used in this atlas beside Indian cuisine.
Indian cuisine is a family of regional systems that share tadka (spices bloomed in fat), dal, yogurt and pickle. A Tamil breakfast of idli-sambar and a Punjabi tandoor dinner are not versions of one gravy. Street India — chaat, vada pav, kolkata rolls, Hyderabad biryani stalls — is a full cuisine. The overseas "curry house" is a real British-Indian dialect, not a replica of Lucknow or Madurai.
Indian cuisine is organised by dahi / achar / idli batter and rice / roti / dosa. Kerala Syrian-Christian and Malabar Muslim tables, Goan vindaloo and Kashmiri wazwan are full systems, not garnish on a national curry. Dahi, achar, idli-dosa batter, appam toddy ferments and pickled mango are the living jars. Ghee and mustard oil are regional fats, not interchangeable.
