  • The Mughal Empire - Its Art and Architecture
    Scholarly Research Journal for Humanity Science & English Language, Online ISSN 2348-3083, SJ IMPACT FACTOR 2016 = 4.44, www.srjis.com UGC Approved Sr. No.48612, FEB-MAR 2018, VOL- 6/26 THE MUGHAL EMPIRE - ITS ART AND ARCHITECTURE Satbhai Ravi Subhashrao Abstract The Mughal Empire at its zenith commanded resources unprecedented in Indian history and covered almost the entire subcontinent. From 1556 to 1707, during the heyday of its fabulous wealth and glory, the Mughal Empire was a fairly efficient and centralized organization, with a vast complex of personnel, money, and information dedicated to the service of the emperor and his nobility. Z Scholarly Research Journal's is licensed Based on a work at www.srjis.com Introduction Much of the empire’s expansion during that period was attributable to India’s growing commercial and cultural contact with the outside world. The 16th and 17th centuries brought the establishment and expansion of European and non-European trading organizations in the subcontinent, principally for the procurement of Indian goods in demand abroad. Indian regions drew close to each other by means of an enhanced overland and coastal trading network, significantly augmenting the internal surplus of precious metals. With expanded connections to the wider world came also new ideologies and technologies to challenge and enrich the imperial edifice. The empire itself, however, was a purely Indian historical experience. Mughal culture blended Perso-Islamic and regional Indian elements into a distinctive but variegated whole. Although by the early 18th century the regions had begun to reassert their independent positions, Mughal manners and ideals outlasted imperial central authority.

  • GOAN CUISINES Visitors to Goa Tend to Think That Food and Drink in Goa Means the Famous Fish, Curry, Rice and Feni Package
    GOAN CUISINES Visitors to Goa tend to think that food and drink in Goa means the famous fish, curry, rice and feni package. And for most Goans these are indeed the three basic necessities of life -- fish, curry and rice. They combine to make a heavenly daily meal for the average Goan. But Goan cuisine, like the land itself, has many flavours and tastes with its vast treasure trove of culinary delicacies. The long period of Portuguese rule, besides that of the Muslim and Hindu kingdoms, has left an indelible influence on the original style of Goan cooking and this has led to an exotic mix of truly tasty and spicy cuisine. Most people who sample Goan cuisine, enjoy this different and unique style of food which has a distinct and unique combination of spicy flavours. A Goan values his food as much as he does his daily siesta (break). And in his daily meal, seafood always has a pride of place is some form or the other. From fried fish to exotic concoctions like ambot-tik, sea food is usually a must on the menu, except for the occasional break for some religious observance. Goans take pleasure not only in what they eat, but also how they cook it. Although modern conveniences have almost completely taken over in urban areas, the traditional way of cooking in clay pots on firewood continues in most rural areas of Goa. This style of cooking adds an additional smoky flavour to the food, highly valued by Goans. Despite the two schools of cuisine traditions influenced by the respective religions of Hinduism and Christianity; there are some meeting points that present an interesting harmony.

  • Chapter-1 International Cuisine
    CHAPTER-1 INTERNATIONAL CUISINE: THE COOKING OF GREAT BRITAIN Historical Background Unlike the French, the British have no Grande cuisine or customs of elegant restaurant eating. Almost everyone royalty and commoner ate the same food, however fancy or plain. The royal kitchens merely drew on a wider variety of foodstuffs and in greater quantities. Britain was a worldwide trader since the 16 th century and could afford to import the best the world had to offer from tea, coffee and rice to exotic spices and fruits and all these found their way into home cooking. The British Breakfast The British consider it their finest meal. A truly traditional British breakfast would include Baps (a soft round roll) or some other traditional bread with preserves, bacon, sausage, tomatoes, mushrooms, eggs - boiled, fried or scrambled, ham kedgeree, stewed prunes, sautéed kidneys, smoked haddock or kippers, cereals with milk and of course tea. The English breakfast owes, in particular much to the Scots. They eat an even more substantial breakfast that the English and the Welsh or the Irish. They consume vast quantities of porridge and considerable amount of bread usually in the form of a breakfast roll called a ‘Bap” and drink large quantities of tea sometimes laced with whisky. Aberdeen was the birthplace of the breakfast sausage, while Dundee is the home of marmalade without which no breakfast is completed. Bacon is in original entirely English. Ham, which also often figures on the breakfast table, is the cured hind leg of the pig. Only the English cured the pig, usually by salting, while the rest of Europe ate it fresh.

Under Akbar’s rule, the Mughal kingdom reached a cultural zenith with collaboration spanning from Turkey to Burma. Mughal dining was lavish and unprecedented. It’s recorded in the Akbarnama that the daily allowance for Royal court food was 2000 rupees ($152,000 AUD today). With such indulgence came the opportunity for chefs to show off their masterpieces and win favour in the King’s court. This season at Lavendra, we bring you the recipes noted in the Akbarnama by Akbar’s Vizier in an attempt to bring you the essence of Mughlai cuisine during its grandeur - Our chance to relive long lost recipes of a grand court.
