But the sweat Sake Dean Mahomed, the kitchen was not in vain, because he wrote the story and opened the door several million dollars in food businesses. PURI SHAMLAL looks Indian delicacies that exist today in the United Kingdom. He never writes a East Indian food is lacking at home.

Curry is King of the United Kingdom

For SHAMLAL PURI London

Uttapam Fancy, idli sambhar and southern India; toovar Daal, rice, ThePlant, stuffing of Gujarat, Goa fish curry from Goa, Sarson Ka Saag and Makki ki roti from Punjab; CHUM CHUM Bengali from Calcutta, or even dishes like Parsi Dhansak and Carpathia? Well, you should not buy an expensive flight to India. Select here in the UK - you will be spoiled for choice when it comes to eating Indian food.

Ironically, the Indian restaurant has opened in the United Kingdom over 200 years it is are not removed within the company, but created history.

According to records, the man who was sweating in the kitchen more than two centuries in Indian cooking dishes from the Indian state of Bihar.

Starting From humble beginnings in London in the form of Hindustani The Coffee House in George Street, Portman Square, London, Sake Dean Mahomet made history, likely to give birth to a billionaire Industry Indian food, which grew to employ over 100,000 people. Today there are almost no street people in the United Kingdom which has an Indian restaurant.

The story goes that Sake Dean Mahomed, who was born in 1759 in Patna, he joined the East India Company and rose to the rank of Subedar, a range history of the army in India directly under British officers in charge, not NCOs above. He and his best friend, Captain Baker, Godfrey came to Britain in 1784 and began a new life in Ireland.

Dean has studied English and married Jane Daly, "a pretty daughter of Irish parents respectable. He has several children and published a book entitled "The Journey of Dean Mahomet, a native of Patna.

Dean moved to Portman Square, London 1809, where he joined the steam bath, owned by Sir Basil Cochrane. Here, Mohammed added: "waif" (head massage) to the list of services offered, and later opened The Coffee House Hindustani. The restaurant has been designed for Anglo-Indians' enjoyment of hookha (tube) with " food snuff real Chilman "And offered to India in the greatest perfection, and enabled by the most loving Epicureans to any curry made in England" in an environment decorated with scenes of Indians and Orientals.

The food served in the restaurant was good, but the weather was bad. Three years later, Dean was declared bankrupt. After several excerpts of his fortune, was appointed "Shampooing Surgeon" to King George IV. He died in 1851.

Organizers of the Great Britain National Curry Week believe that the first restaurant opened in 1809, while other historical sources say the restaurant opened in 1810.

Under the tree Curry Charitable Fund, one of the organizers of the National Week of Curry, an Indian restaurant that Dean first sector has grown to over 10,000 today, generating revenue for the British Treasury and employs over 100,000 people.

"More than 200 years, has served the industry 2.5 billion people - a figure only 20 years - and more than 30 million pounds have been spent for food alone, a figure that is equal in the next 15 years.

During these 200 years, people have consumed about 5 billion poppadum (a foil India's sometimes described as crisp crackers or flat bread) and 400 million servings of Chicken Tikka Masala, organizers said.

Close 23 million people (more than one third of the population) in Britain to eat regularly and most of them have a curry restaurant in one or more occasions, while millions more are opting to bring India, cooking Indian dishes at home or buy all made at the supermarket.

After experiencing Sake Dean, the Indian restaurant scene was almost nonexistent. In the years yesterday, there was very few Indian restaurants in the United Kingdom. The Indian restaurant was the elegant note Veeraswamy - one of the oldest Indian restaurants UK and perhaps the world. It is an institution.

It was established in 1926 in the same place by the small-son of a British general, and an Indian princess. The restaurant was the meeting point for lovers of food rich, famous and fashionable in India. Its customers include Edward - Prince of Wales, King Gustav of Sweden, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, first Prime Minister of India, Indira Gandhi, Charlie Chaplin, King Hussein of Jordan and Marlon Brando.

The Strand, central London, a restaurant called the Club of India. Who claims to be the oldest in the United Kingdom. It serves authentic Indian food, but the restaurant is reminiscent of a school canteen. In Yester was frequented mainly by Staff of the High Commission of India, but his reputation spread among white collar workers now often this place. They loathe it for its ambience and furniture bad taste, but as the mouth watering food which it serves.

For the common man in the early 1960s, 70, saw the growth of the Indian EATRIS. It was very different at home so bad, if the position in India to enjoy the culinary delights Indian or Southall, west London, in a limited selection of food available.

Not today. Indian restaurants have sprung up in all corners of the country. Today, experts say it is more Indian restaurants in the United Kingdom in Mumbai and New Delhi as a whole. In London, more than 1,500 restaurants, including India, let alone those who were not admitted to official listing. A conservative calculation estimates the number of Indian restaurants in the United Kingdom a huge 14,000. Curry is clearly the king in the United Kingdom. Exceeded the traditional English food such as roast beef, Yorkshire pudding and vegetables cooked miles. Today, there is a growing demand for Indian food and, interestingly, white Britons have embraced India as well that restaurants and culinary specialties to make joints sprout like mushrooms Bhaji.

If you can stand the heat in the kitchen, cooking skills ancestors made to you, and Indians have money to invest, to enter the restaurant. Profits are high if you click on the menu.

Years ago, at Wembley, west London, a Kenyan entrepreneur has established a food restaurant Quick Bhajia called Maru. Based on a simple recipe of thinly sliced round potatoes fried in the chickpea flour, the family has collected a large amount of business. He ate the talk of the town. The adhesives used to build outside the restaurant and the wait could be even an hour. However, customers with checks with the tail numbers were willing to wait.

Then came the "chain sokoni 'specialty restaurants in vegetarian cuisine. It has built a reputation and a business empire selling Indian meals in different parts of London. His fame has exceeded the borders of Great Britain with the opening of a branch in Dubai. Sokoni, meaning the market's Swahili language of Africa Eastern has innovative fusion of traditional Chinese dishes with Indian spices in both the recovery of a loyal clientele.

Aside from the fast-food restaurants and a coffee shop, the United Kingdom prestigious restaurants.

Chutney Mary, Veeraswamy, Amaya and Masala Zone restaurants in London are some of the leading restaurants in the United Kingdom, which serves Indian dishes. They are owned by Namita Panjabi and her husband, investment banker Ranjit Mathrani, through the company of his family, Masala World.

Its success can be gauged by the fact that the group is real quality Indian food more than half a million customers a year, perhaps more than any other group of restaurants outside of India. It is also unique in covering both higher levels and market means.

Masala World won the general conservator of the year as the Tatler Restaurant Awards Awards, the first time this has been attributed to a group does not serve food to Europeans. Today, there are seven branches of Masala Zone.

Amaya the restaurant has reached the final the rare distinction of winning both awards the most prestigious restaurant in the United Kingdom in the same year - the Tio Pepe ITV Awards 2005 Best Restaurant of the Year and Best New Restaurant of the Year. This achievement is more remarkable for the fact that this is the first time either scholarship, much less two, has been assigned to a restaurant that serves non - food in Europe.

The Punjabis have had a life long passion for Indian cuisine Real, who traveled to India to find it. They say that the best Indian food found in village houses, palaces of Maharajas "and stations so humble.

Namita and Ranjit created Chutney Mary, located in Chelsea, London in 1990, which won the Best Indian Restaurant in Great Britain shortly thereafter. Chutney Mary turned in May 2002 to ensure it remains the best restaurant in the United Kingdom to serve Indian food.

Veeraswamy purchased in 1997 and remodeled it. In 2001, he opened Masala Zone, a fun, budget and casual Indian restaurant located in Soho, London use the Indian food unreal real price - less than 14 pounds each - in an elegant traditional Indian art. It quickly became one of the most popular restaurants serving Indians in Britain. It was followed by a second Masala Zone, Islington, north London. The third was opened in Earls Court, London, in April 2005.

Amaya, the high risk end - directed by Camellia Panjabi - is located in Belgravia, London SW1. India is the grill. The restaurant, different interrogation methods characteristic of India for the guests in a special kitchen for opening - a theater spectacular food. He has won special recognition for restaurant critics since its opening in October 2004, for food, ambience and style. This has resulted in achieving the almost unique distinction of winning two prestigious restaurants in the United Kingdom, the same year - the Tio Pepe ITV Awards 2005 Best Restaurant of the Year and Best New Restaurant of the Year.

There are other Indian restaurants in London reputation Zaika plush Kensington High Street. Zaika translates literally as sophisticated flavors and such is the philosophy behind the innovative menu. With a focus on Indian cuisine, sophisticated and creative menu includes both traditional classic favorites and original new dishes that apply eastern flavors with a touch of Western.

Acclaimed favorites include Indian Home Smoked Salmon, Lamb Rogan Josh and Chocolate Silk, a dish that has been widely imitated by other establishments in the capital.

The sumptuous interior lends itself to the vibrancy of India during the colonial era incorporating a palette of colors rich, ruby, gold, green, red and purple.

Since opening its doors Zaika has received several industry awards, including the restaurant India's first get a Michelin star restaurant and the best Indian restaurant in London Stock Exchange.

Rasoi Vineet Bhatia, Quilon are familiar names.

Quilon is an own success story. It offers traditional home-style cooking of South India in the heart of London St James Park. Its leaders offer unique cuisine and material which strongly Quilon Map of Indian culinary delights in Great Britain.

His cuisine has led to a unique blend of ethnic and progressive dishes the menu, Quilon - Vattichathu of Black Cod, asparagus, beans and crabmeat curry, Mangalore chicken curry, fish in a banana leaf, Avial, Masala Dosa.

In Southall, the center of the Indian community, there is no shortage of restaurants on Broadway. Names like Madhu brilliant customer attracted outside City - Chief Gulo Anand From East African cuisine tinged with India has contributed to a legend Southall brilliant. As busy as ever, this restaurant has all special dishes you expect, adding a few. Kickoff with a specialty of the house of the FOB Dahi Bhalla (balls of dough fried lentils) served with sweet tamarind chutney, then maybe head Jeera chicken flavored with cumin, or go for the chicken methi fenugreek scented.

Another part London restaurants booming Brick Lane is at the extreme east of the city. Just saying Brick Lane conjures up visions of many Indian restaurants all competing for customers. The area has been the first port of call for immigrants from the port of Chittagong in Bengal who work in ports. His arrest Regular paved the way for food / curry outlets to be opened catering for all men labor that family immigration and settlement took place some decades later. College career as what gave birth to the famous Brick Lane curry capital of Britain. Curry is consumed in most Indian subcontinent and neighboring regions, namely India, Bangladesh and Pakistan. He more or less style, taste and aroma, based on local ingredients are used. Sylhet Bangladeshi origin make up only ten per cent of all South Asians in Britain, but about 90 cent of all Indian restaurants in the United Kingdom are Sylhet / Bengali owned.Many are well known and used by communities of Bangladesh. One is the difficulty choice, with names like Meraz, Bengal Village, Brick Lane Clipper, among hordes of others.

I remember with a certain joy and a journalist who covers both a demonstration in London is a member of the notorious racist National Front, who chanted slogans against Asia, leaving to move the Indians, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis, saying that their bags to package and return to their country. At noon, they were hungry and lack of supply - Found an Indian restaurant, put their banners against the wall and tucked into the quiet Chicken Tikka Masala and naan bread. They seemed to have lost the thread of the impasse. India culinary delights had calmed her nerves!

Leicester in central England, also home of Asians had settled, have many Indian restaurants offering a culinary delight. Belgrave Road has some of the best Asian restaurants in the country. Bobby is almost an institution in Leicester. It is longer than established Indian restaurant which offers mostly vegetarian Gujarati.

The competition for businesses across the road from Jalsa Bobby, an ultra-modern vegetarian restaurant specializing in Gujarati. Then there Sharmilee, Lal, The Grand Durbar, which offer all good variety. Mirch Masala is a single Indian with a paan shop, a necessity in Leicester, The Tiffin raises many local businesses.

The award-winning restaurant offers the best mouth Curry Punjabi and north Indian cuisine. Sakoni has also opened its office in Leicester.

In Edinburgh Britannia Spice offers a variety of dishes from India with Nepal and Bangladesh.

Verandah Tandoori Restaurant in Edinburgh, has received all the honors more important than a restaurant can receive, "Best Indian Restaurant" by Good Food Guide Scottish Restaurant of the Year "by M8, Best in Britain "by the National Restaurant Directory," Best in Scotland "by Good Curry Guide, The Road" Cazuela Award twelve consecutive years, set in the best Indian restaurants in Britain for Good Curry Guide and continued to receive praise from critics and other restaurant guides and visits from celebrities as Clint Eastwood, Sir Cliff Richard and many others.

Thus, the United Kingdom is now home to thousands of restaurants Indian. The only thing missing are the Dabbawalla Mumbai. Who knows, one day, an enterprising businessman in London and major cities in the United Kingdom could open the market the invading hordes of tiffinwallas wading through the streets of Britain to provide food to office workers .... Mumbai style.
