LONDON'S INDIAN LUNCHBOX SERVICE - DABBADROP - VEGAN - PLANT BASED

[@LondonkiLali]

Before people get super defensive and aggressive about my theory on Mango chutney being influenced by the British. My thoughts might not be completely ‘out there’ according to Google; Legend has it that a British army officer by the name of Major Grey, who lived in Colonial India in the nineteenth century, loved curries so much he made his own chutney using mango, raisins, vinegar, lime, onion, sugar, and spices. This is where some believe the classic mango chutney originated from.

[@RonBhattacharya]

Interesting. BTW, the mango chutney is sour and tangy because almost raw mangoes are used in it. In Bengal, we cook fish roes with them and make a side called "Macher Dimer Tok" ("Tok" meaning sour) which is tangy, with a hint of sweetness from added sugar. You don't need to squeeze lime in unless the mango being used is not raw enough.

British Indian food without "naan-bread" feels like a "naan-starter" ;) Good point though about naan mainly to be found when eating out in India; naan is also normally made of maida, the all-purpose flour, which isn't as healthy as parathas or rotis which could be made from whole wheat flour or a flour mix that has more nutritious value than maida...and feels and taste more homemade.

[@LondonkiLali]

Yeah I much prefer roti 🫓 😍

[@tulika_9519]

Mango chutney IS 10000% INDIAN thing. Honestly Britishers had NO influence on Indian food. Neither they discovered a new dish out of our food ever. They only stereotyped Indian food throughout the world. It's Indians who live in UK who make you feel like anything related to Indian food can be British. ITS NOT.. Yes, we don't eat Naan. India has thousands of verieties of bread... and many we make at home like rotis, parathas, kachori, puris etc which are made of healthier whole wheat. Naan is NOT healthy to consume daily.

1:43 In India, mango chutney is also available if the restaurant is owned and operated by a Bengali person. The primary factor determining the inclusion in the menu, however, is the cost of mangoes. In an Indian Bengali home, mango chutney is served on special occasions.

[@speakagainstwrong543]

Raw Mango Pickle is a Marathi recipe. Also a specific variety of Raw mango is used for making MOORUMBAA which is crushed mango sour n sweet with cardamom flavour and it is eaten in lunch or dinner plate just like chutney in small quantity.

[@user-hq8wm8giyujcg]

some 5-6 years ago thru the internet when i got to know how filtered brit (and west) history book about colonial times is taught, it blew my mind away, and the fact that they are actually proud of that history, and when told some facts they dont care that much and ask to forget about it and other statements to play it down, of course thats the only thing one can do if u dont wanna accept fully and apologies, or u can just deny it completely which many still do, but again we dont care that much in our country

[@venkateswarluk5133]

Andhra is famous for pickles and they may be used as an alternative to preserve food by drying by sun. However, one variety of mango pickles is made in Andhra using sun-dried salted mango pieces. Also, pickles made in India use salt, oil and spices whereas vinegar is commonly used to make pickles in the UK (maybe in other parts of Europe). At least I didn't come across any pickles in the UK that are not made using vinegar. Samosas you get in South India are similar to those you get in the UK.

[@proudlycanadian3023]

Hence they were too spicy for the European settlers' palates. It is reputed that a British army major named Grey had a sweet variety of mango chutney made especially to suit his taste. Thus Major Grey Chutney is thought to have been born, made by Merwanjee Poonjiajee, established in the year 1876.

If you’re eating this on a regular basis, it’s better for it to not be super spicy and oily. Rather have your stomach not go for a toss after a few months or years.

[@Just_forfun9140]

Layered roti is so much better than nan, it takes a lot more time to make each one, perhaps is the reason why they give nan. Try layered roti, maybe its called paratha. Nan is made from white flour, bad for health I think.

[@LondonkiLali]

I deffo prefer roti!! Much tastier 😍😍

[@indianjanesmith]

A regular paratha is not layered. However, it is thicker than a normal roti/chappati/phulka. It may also be stuffed with different fillings. Imo, the aloo (potato) paratha is the most popular in India. A layered paratha is known as "lachha" paratha, and yes, it is harder to make (roll out a paratha, roll it into a tube, roll it out again). I think the south indian parotta (different spelling from paratha) is similar. I discovered something called "prata" in Singapore. I think it's inspired by the Indian paratha but I'm not sure how it's similar (or different!)

[@indianjanesmith]

And yes, naan is made from white flour (maida), so it's not as healthy as wheat flour roti. It's also usually prepared in a tandoor (clay oven) which Indian households rarely have (if ever), which is why it's more of a "let's eat out today" order.

[@indianjanesmith]

​@@LondonkiLalitotally agree! Have u tried plain or buttered tandoori roti with a spicy paneer curry? My favourites are paneer tikka masala and paneer kolhapuri. Not sure if UK Indian restaurants serve those dishes? If they do, I hope you'll try them. Love and peace from Mumbai!❤
