Thanks to a review in The Independent, I think I have found another cookery book that is worth investing in.
I was vaguely aware that much of what we in the West known as “Indian” food was actually Mughal food (and most “Indian” restaurants in Britain are run by Bangladeshis), but I had no idea that traditional Hindu food should not include onions or garlic.
I’ll have to read — especially as the Hindu family we know best cooks with both of these ingredients pretty much all the time ;>
That’s kind of odd.
I know Jains don’t eat onions; their founder believed in killing no animals and believed invisible soil creatures lived in onions.
