In my book, the cuisine of India has such a wide variety of regional flavors. There is such a range of diversity in the climates, occupations, and soil type the cuisines that are yielded from. These three influences vary significantly from each other and use locally available spices, herbs, vegetables, and fruits.
While the vast majority of India is vegetarian, India’s coast and islands offer a different take on protein in the diet. With the close proximity to the sea, seafood plays a major role in the diet. This recipe takes the flavors that are familiar with the Indian diet and makes a wicked awesome dish that is perfect for a weekday dinner and with a bottle of your favorite beverage.
