While the US or UK offer travellers great options of Indian meals, one cannot find good Indaan food in countries such as Finland, Vietnam and remote areas of Australia.
Blogger and gastronomy writer Rushina Munshaw Ghildiyal helped her mother plan a conducted tour of Australia, a few years ago. She came back with an unusual experience. The tourist has asked for Indian cuisine to be added to their packages.
Upon landing at teh airport down under, all the food was seized by the custom officials. What followed was a frantic daily hunt for restaurants in Australia that offered authentic Indian Cuisine.
"What Indian food is first assimilated in cultures abroad, they begin using simpled dry spices. But applying those spices to the local food of that country only creates a dialect which is not authentic," says Ghidiyal, recounting her experience and adding that the trip proved how difficult it was to get authentic desi food in foreign lands
