About this experience
Pondicherry Creole cuisine
French cuisine requires every component to be cooked, served, and savoured individually, Indian cuisine is famous for its mix-cook-serve approach. When the two cooking techniques were merged by Indian cooks, the result was a unique blend of cuisines, where local ingredients were adapted to French, and western cooking techniques — characterized by creamy sauces, the restrained use of spices, and new techniques such as baking, grilling, frying, poaching, steaming and roasting. With the passage of time, Creole food today is more Indian than its overseas counterparts but still unique in flavors.
