3. Talking about the history of food, one can easily extract the data
since human evolution has started. It was not possible to live
without food during that time and it is not possible to survive even
today. During early days, when we talk about the Pre-Historic Era
such as Paleolithic, Mesolithic, and Neolithic, that represent the
traces of early human ancestors (300,000 BC), people used to hunt
the animals and gather the fruits from the trees, and latterly they had
started doing agricultural activities since Indus Valley
Civilization had started right after the decline of Neolithic phase.
Well, during the Neolithic Period, the agricultural activities had
started already but it was Harappan Civilization that gave us the
traces of proper agricultural activities. Wild barley and rice were
their important ones.
Right after the decline of the Harappan Period, the Vedic Period
started around 600 BC. It was the almost rural atmosphere during
that period but since then, in India, the process of
Agricultural activities had started.
Well, the history of food is as long as our human history is. The role
of food has always been precious in our human life. Different kind
of crops used to be brought from different-different places in India
and our India is still rich in that context.
One needs to understand human history from its beginning to know
how and why agriculture had started? What kind of fruit and
animals our early ancestors used to eat? What kind of food did they
use to prefer?
4. How dishes vary from one state to another?
India is a nation that is so vibrantly diverse and every state exhibits
a different kind of culture, tradition, a way of life, language,
and cuisine.
India has been very rich when we talk about the main ingredients of
food, which are various spices. After the Mughal Period had
declined, many foreign companies like Portuguese and some French
has started coming over to India to colonize, and there they started
trading the spices from India to their countries.
Since different-different states of India consist of people with
different cultures, their way of living and cuisines have always been
different too. As India is a country full of diversity and culture, the
best part comes out that one can try the same dish but with different
tastes and names that vary from states to states or one can say
culture to culture.
Generally, every state of India plays a very eminent role when it
comes to the cuisine but the famous cuisines are from: Hyderabad,
Andhra-Pradesh, Bihar, Uttar-Pradesh, Punjab, Assam, Gujrat,
and there are some states as well.
5. Every state of India has its own special food. Like Bihar has Litti
Chokha, Karnataka has Bisibele Bath, Hyderabad has Biryani, and
etc.
Well, these days there are already many restaurants that
offer special food of different-different states. In Delhi, there are
Bhawan of every state of India and they have their own canteen,
loaded with their specialties. Then in Delhi, a place like Cannaught
Place and Delhi Haat also have famous outlets from every state that
offer special food, particularly famous in their states.
