History of some of the popular Indian catering services
Without a doubt, Indian food has gained a lot of popularity all over the world. There is no continent where Indian food is not served in abundance. Although the Indian influence in food first traveled to Europe due to the British India Company, it was not long before travelers from Europe brought this taste to other parts of the world.
It takes a lot of time and effort to learn real Indian food as it is one of the most complex and massive cuisines in the world. Unlike other cuisines, where variations and inventions occur every day, most of the famous dishes in Indian cuisine are very traditional and their history goes back more than a couple of centuries. Indian cooking is basically an art that can only be delivered when it is truly felt and understood. With its rich and abundant use of spices and other ingredients, it can offer countless dishes to those who are hungry for delicious and savory flavors.
Famous and authentic Indian restaurants can be found in almost every big country. Those who can’t build a restaurant at first or don’t want to start a small-scale catering business that later expands depending on the quality of the food they serve and the appreciation they receive.
The popularity of some of the best Indian caterers in Europe and America also started in the same way. However, if we were to trace the history of all the popular Indian caterers, we would come to the times when the British India Company started trading with India. While bringing spices from India, they also brought some enthusiasts on their ship who came to Britain and started making a living selling cooked food as some of them knew how to cook.
Some of the best caterers became very popular very quickly because British recruits returning to their homeland were hungry for the same taste they experienced in India. This led to the popularity of some of the Indian dishes that are still well known today such as Chicken Tikka, Chicken Tandoori, Mutton Pulao, Rogan Josh, Palak Paneer and the like.
Indian caterers who could provide quality and authentic food to their customers soon became famous and now after many years their chain of restaurants and/or caterer is widespread in the country.
