The top 10 countries for Asian food. Which Asian cuisine reigns supreme?

Is this the best you could come up with.


I can understand your frustration but google's first result is from wiki and yes it did say that biryani is a south asian dish but it also said that the place of origin is India
Is that the best you could come with it? LOL. I understand it is you who is frustrated.

No it did not say India is the place of origin you liar.

It said the the place of origin of Briyani is Indian Subcontinent, not "Republic of India."

Get your facts straight.

Calm down dude. Why the heck are you getting hysterical over biryani. I guess having some biryani right now will cool you down. I never said biryani is the sole property of India and I am aware that it is enjoyed in the entire sub-continent but is mostly recognized as an Indian dish and has it's roots in India, particularly the Mughals of Delhi and the Nawabs of Hyderabad. BTW wiki's biryani origin says the following and no where did it mention pakistan

"
Origin[edit]
The exact origin of the dish is uncertain. In North India, different varieties of biryani developed in the Muslim centers of Delhi (Mughlai cuisine), Lucknow (Awadhi cuisine) and other small principalities. In South India, where rice is more widely used as a staple food, several distinct varieties of biryani emerged from Telangana (specifically Hyderabad), Tamil Nadu, Kerala (Malabar), and Karnataka, where minority Muslim communities were present. Andhra is the only region of South India that does not have many native varieties of biryani.[6][10]During the Safavid dynasty (1501–1736) in Persia, a dish called Berian Pilao (Nastaliq script: بریان پلو‬) was made with lamb or chicken, marinated overnight – with yogurt, herbs, spices, dried fruits like raisins, prunes or pomegranate seeds – and later cooked in a tannour oven. It was then served with steamed rice.[11]

According to historian Lizzie Collingham, the modern biryani developed in the royal kitchens of the Mughal Empire (1526-1857), as a confluence of the native spicy rice dishes of India and the Persian pilaf.[12] Indian restaurateur Kris Dhillon believes that the dish originated in Persia, and was brought to India by the Mughals.[13] However, another theory claims that the dish was known in India before the first Mughal emperor Babur came to India.[14] The 16th-century Mughal text Ain-i-Akbari makes no distinction between biryanis and pilaf (or pulao): it states that the word "biryani" is of older usage in India.[15] A similar theory, that biryani came to India with Timur's invasion, appears to be incorrect, because there is no record of biryani having existed in his native land during that period.[14]

According to Pratibha Karan, the biryani is of South Indian origin, derived from pilaf varieties brought to the Indian subcontinent by the Arab traders. She speculates that the pulaowas an army dish in medieval India. The armies, unable to cook elaborate meals, would prepare a one-pot dish where they cooked rice with whichever meat was available. Over time, the dish became biryani due to different methods of cooking, with the distinction between "pulao" and "biryani" being arbitrary.[6][14] According to Vishwanath Shenoy, the owner of a biryani restaurant chain in India, one branch of biryani comes from the Mughals, while another was brought by the Arab traders to Malabar in South India.[16]"
 
How do you compare a Thai curry to a Sri Lankan masala?

What ??!!?.. Lankans dont do Masala !! Thats what differentiates Lankan curry from the Indian variant.. Sri Lankans use whole spices and coconut milk, Rather than Masala mixes and ghee or milk.. Plus the influences in their cuisine from Portugese,Dutch, South Indian and the Malay makes it a fusion

Sri Lankan cuisine have been underrated for long, I'm surprised they made it in to the list let alone to be rated high up

It was over shadowed by Indian food, Which may likely be the reason that Pakistani food have been overlooked unfortunately, Most westerners wouldn't know the difference from what they get from the restaurants in the west

But Lankan food is making a name for themselves nowadays, With it's distinct taste which are more palatable with the Western favor, With less spicier, with fresher ingredients been used.. And breaking in to the high end dinning sphere in cities like London, Sydney, Melbourne and New York

I will gladly have some Pakistani Sindhi Briyani.

I do not know "where" Briyani was invented in South Asia. All I know it was invented by Muslims in South Asia.
 
I do think Biryani originated in Mughal lands (around UP) and spread from there to other neighbouring regions, with each region adding some local touch and turning it into 'local' byriani.
So India wins this one.

Though if I have to be more specific, I would call it 'Indian Muslim' cuisine, since the northern Hindus detest meat based food.

Well I do not know where Briyani originated in South Asia. If you are correct then I would agree that Briyani originated from the Mughal lands around Delhi.

However Briyani is not solely an Indian dish. Briyani spread to surrounding lands to what is now Pakistan and Bangladesh.

Agreed with you that it was the Muslims who invented Briyani since the HIndus reject meat based meals.
 
lankan "food" is basically renamed Tamil food.

That's true , Indian Muslims to be precise.
 
Yaar.. khane ka thread main to tuu tu main main chodo.... Kya farak padta hain kaha originate huwa... I dig both Hyderbadi as well as Lahori Dum biriyani with Lahori Paya soup... Living here for a decade & having spent some considerable time in North India, I can vouch that baring a few dishes here and there, most of Pakistani (specially punjabi) dishes are most similar to North Indian cuisine..

Ab ladte raho... kaun sa dish kaha originate huwa tha...
 
India is not promoting its food cuisine, where as Japan and other asian countries do it for the sake of tourism.
