Dear all,
This is the last one.
Here is the link to Murad’s Mutton Sikh Tikka.
It must produce a strong smell, and I am so sure that I can't stop myself from buying it whenever I catch its scent.
QooQ
Thank you for the introduction.
ReplyDeleteLooking at the tikka served at the Gifu party, it appears that the seasoning etc. varies from plate to plate.
What variations were there in the tikka on this occasion?
Respected Kentaro Otsuka.
DeleteYes it will be very much interested to have this dish in a Gifu University party.
Regarding variation that it is very spicy due to the ingridients used for the taste.
Thanks for your presentation. It is interesting to see how different religions and cultures have varying perspectives on consuming beef. I would like to know why the title is focus on mutton. The ingredients are not limited to mutton, but also included chicken and beef.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the comment. Its because of Regional Preference In my cultures, mutton tikka is more traditional or widely consumed rather than the chicken and beef.
DeleteI have never had mutton tikka before, but chicken and beef tikka are quite easy to find here! There’s a place near the university called Moti Indian Curry House: have you ever been there? I would love to know if the flavors are authentic!
ReplyDeleteI haven’t been able to visit places myself, but I can definitely help you explore the authenticity of Moti Indian Curry House. But the Beef tikka which might be spiced more intensely.
DeleteThank you Murad for your presentation. What a tasty dish! I whish I can try some. I don't have specific question, however, on the slide 7 titled "Religious beliefs of not eating the Tikka", you mentioned 1- Hinduism, 2- Jainism, 3- India, 4- Christianity. I wonder why you mentioned 3-India!! So far, India is a country a not a religion right? I guess may be you wanted to say 3-Muslim. Thanks for the recipe.
ReplyDeleteYou're absolutely right, and I appreciate you pointing that out! India is indeed a country, not a religion. The mentioning of "India" in the context of religious beliefs surrounding food should have been focused on Islam or Muslim beliefs, as Islam does have dietary restrictions regarding meat, including the prohibition of pork and the emphasis on halal food. Muslims adhere to halal dietary laws, which include restrictions on pork and require meat to be slaughtered in a specific way.
ReplyDeleteThere is a Nepalese curry restaurant near my house, and I often eat chicken tikka there. I've never tried anything other than chicken. I wonder if there are various types of meat in Pakistan, or if it depends on the country, or if the meat used is different for religious reasons.
ReplyDeleteIn Pakistan, as well as in many South Asian countries, the types of meat used in cuisine are influenced by cultural, religious, and regional factors.
ReplyDeleteIf you want to try something different at your Nepalese restaurant, you could ask if they serve mutton or lamb dishes, those are quite common in South Asian cuisine and have a richer, slightly gamey flavor compared to chicken! Would you be open to trying them?
