Indian style of cooking is distinguished by its use of spices.
While there are an
enormous
variety of local styles within
India, most of the cuisines are related
by
similar usage of
spices. Dhakshin serves variety of Indian dishes that
represent many of these styles.
North, west, and Mughlai Indian cuisines show strong central
Asian influences. A variety of flours are used to make chapatis
and other related Indian breads. To the north east of India, the
food style shades off into the cuisines of East Asia and china.
Coastal styles make strong use of fish and coconut. The desert
styles of Rajasthan and Gujarat use an immense
variety of dals (lentils) and achars (pickles/preserves) to
substitute for the relative
lack
of
fresh
vegetables. The southern kitchen uses variety of
spices
and puts taste buds of
connoisseurs
to work.
 Dhakshin’s style of preparing chicken, meat and sea food is
immensely popular. The taste
of the ingredients is not swamped by spices and it is ideally
not "hot". Locally available
rich spices such as coriander,
cumin, pepper, fenugreek, anise, Tamarind and sweet stick
are ground and added judiciously to make each dish a gourmet's
treat.
At Dhakshin, we have tried to bring to the people of Houston, TX
the
authentic tastes of India and hope that you enjoy the specially
prepared cuisine.
