A Case Study of Indian Cuisine in Taiwan 2020-1115 IJOI https://www.ijoi-online.org/ TASTE OF INDIA: A CASE STUDY OF INDIAN CUISINE IN TAIWAN Anita Mandal* Department of Tourism and Leisure, Chung Hua University, Taiwan 30012 *Corresponding author: [email protected] Yao–Hsu Tsai Department of Tourism and Leisure, Chung Hua University, Taiwan 30012 [email protected] Abstract This study discusses localization of Indian cuisine and their impact on customer satisfac- tion in Taiwan based on the information gathered from field survey and online portals. Three aspects of Indian cuisine were explained. First, it describes how Indian cuisine is localized over Taiwan. Second, how Indian cuisine is maintained and presented to the local customer. Third aspect describes perception and satisfaction of local customers over Indian cuisine. It is observed that the authenticity of Indian cuisine is greatly compro- mised to attract local people in the business. Preparation of Indian cuisine is altered by use of locally available ingredients including spices and herbs which, modifies the taste and aroma of cuisine. A special unique style is adopted to represent Indian cuisine in Taiwan. Different restaurant settings are introduced to symbolize Indian culture irrespec- tive of different Indian cuisine. In some cases, a single restaurant provides variety of cui- sine e.g. Panjabi dishes along with Bengali food. The study determines that authentic In- dian cuisine no longer exists and localized version of Indian cuisine is evolved. The sur- vey shows that majority of the customers are satisfied over food quality and prefer to dine at Indian cuisine at least once in a year. It is believed that physical and environment set- ting of restaurant enhances customer satisfaction even though authenticity of the Indian cuisine is compromised while, high cost of food is dominant factor for less frequent re- turning behavior of customers. Keywords: Authenticity, customer satisfaction, food survey, Indian cuisine. 280 The International Journal of Organizational Innovation Volume 13 Number 2, October 2020 2020-1115 IJOI https://www.ijoi-online.org/ Introduction records.

  • South Indian Cuisine
    SOUTH INDIAN CUISINE South Indian Cuisine is a term used to refer to the cuisines found in the four southern states of India, namely Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu. As opposed to North Indian cuisine, there is limited use of garam masala and other dried spices except cardamom, black pepper and turmeric. South Indian cuisine is rice based. Rice is combined with lentils to make wonderful dosas, idlis, vadas and uttapams. These items are glorious and delicious besides being nourishing and digestible (due to the fermenting process). They are combined with sambhar (dal), rasam (tamarind dal), dry and curried vegetable and pachadi (yogurt). Their rice preparations are also masterpieces like biryani from Hyderabad, lemon rice and rice seasoned with coconut peanuts, tamarind, chilies, curry leaves, urad dal and fenugreek seeds. South Indian chutneys are made of tamarind, coconut, peanuts, dal, fenugreek seeds, and cilantro. Meals are followed by coffee. South Indian dals and curries are more soupy than North Indian dals and curries. South Indian cuisine is also hotter. Coconut milk straight from the nut is a common beverage and sight in South India. Coffee is very popular in South India and Madras coffee is popular in South Indian restaurants throughout the world. The South Indian food is a brilliant blend of flavors, colors, seasoning, nutritional balance, fragrance, taste, and visual appeal. PARIMARAL - THE SOUTH INDIAN TRADITION OF SERVING A TRADITIONAL MEAL A typical traditional meal in South India is served on a "Vazhaillai", a freshly cut plantain leaf. The Sappad or food that is served on a banana leaf (even the size of the leaf varies from one community to another) is displayed like an identity card.

  • Spices Form the Basis of Food Pairing in Indian Cuisine Anupam Jaina,†, Rakhi N Kb,† and Ganesh Baglerb,*
    Spices form the basis of food pairing in Indian cuisine Anupam Jaina,†, Rakhi N Kb,† and Ganesh Baglerb,* Affiliations: aCentre for System Science, Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur, Jodhpur, Rajasthan 342011, India. bCentre for Biologically Inspired System Science, Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur, Jodhpur, Rajasthan 342011, India. †These authors contributed equally to this work *Corresponding author: E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract Culinary practices are influenced by climate, culture, history and geography. Molecular composition of recipes in a cuisine reveals patterns in food preferences. Indian cuisine encompasses a number of diverse sub-cuisines separated by geographies, climates and cultures. Its culinary system has a long history of health-centric dietary practices focused on disease prevention and promotion of health. We study food pairing in recipes of Indian cuisine to show that, in contrast to positive food pairing reported in some Western cuisines, Indian cuisine has a strong signature of negative food pairing; more the extent of flavor sharing between any two ingredients, lesser their co-occurrence. This feature is independent of recipe size and is not explained by ingredient category-based recipe constitution alone. Ingredient frequency emerged as the dominant factor specifying the characteristic flavor sharing pattern of the cuisine. Spices, individually and as a category, form the basis of ingredient composition in Indian cuisine. We also present a culinary evolution model which reproduces ingredient use distribution as well as negative food pairing of the cuisine. Our study provides a basis for designing novel signature recipes, healthy recipe alterations and recipe recommender systems. Introduction Culinary practices are shaped by complex interplay of culture, climate, geography and genetics (1–6).

Nizam’s Authentic Indian Cuisine is set on a busy stretch of Black Horse Pike, tucked just beyond a super-Wawa in EHT. So be prepared to hit the brakes. This place is worth the search, and worth the stop. As the name asserts, Nizam’s serves serious Indian cuisine—the real stuff, not an American parody. That means fewer heavy creams and other sweeteners. It means a light but sure touch with the garden of spices (curry, coriander, turmeric, cumin, saffron) typical of Indian cooking. It also means very little natural fat; if you go easy on the rice and bread—which, admittedly, is hard—chef and owner Syed Abbas says you can lose 10 pounds in a week, dining from his menu. Unfamiliar with Indian food? That menu may take some explaining. Depending on your preference, the cordial hosts at Nizam’s may recommend spicy chicken vindaloo over mild chicken korma, lamb pasada over raan kebab. They are happy to explain the difference between bhatura and pakora. On my first visit to Nizam’s, as the guest of an enthusiastic friend, we ordered a thali, an impressive sampler tray with mini-servings of six entrees and dessert.
