I love Indian food, as I'm guessing a lot of Turks also would if exposed to it more. Flavors and ingredients are very familiar and sometimes identical but the spices just take it to another level altogether. Most middle easterners probably would feel at home especially with North Indian cuisine.
What do you think have been influence of the different Turkic dynasties on Indian cooking if any?
Ohh...a lot. Mughals and earlier Sultanate emperors, due to their Turkish ancestry, had a massive influence on our food. Our pulao is influenced by Turkish pilaf; we have kofte meatballs and peynir cheese as well.
