阿联酋是一个多民族国家,为了符合不同民族的口味,势必会很来自各国的美食齐聚迪拜。这里几乎拥有各种国家的美食,但主要来说,这里的餐厅主要都是以中东式, 欧洲式, 印度式,巴基斯坦式及菲律宾式为主,当然还有各种亚洲餐厅,比如日韩泰餐厅和近年来越来越多的中餐厅。

而印度人是迪拜人数最多的群体,以咖喱为主的印度餐厅势必多入牛毛,只是大多定位不高,环境也不好,许多印度小餐厅开在人流密集的街边巷口,看上去不太卫生,规模也层次不齐。也有少量相对高级的印度餐厅坐落在闹市或酒店,价格自然也是水涨船高。

这种印巴餐厅在迪拜巷陌里到处能见

 

巴基斯坦其实口味和印度菜接近,只是当初因宗教问题,联合国才把他们从印度分开。巴基斯坦餐厅大多同样也是开在街角巷陌,环境同样不太好,而且几乎没有比较高级的巴基斯坦餐厅。

相比阿拉伯的菜系,印度菜和巴基斯坦菜更重视香料的调味。由于两者的口味接近,有的印度和巴基斯坦餐厅连装潢风格都长的差不多,甚至一些餐厅都已经印巴交融。你仔细推敲,还真难分别出究竟是哪国口味。但如果长期在迪拜生活,吃久了这些物美价廉的印巴料理,还是能发现很多区别的。

 

印度菜
印度菜以咖喱和各种香料为主,也会伴随一些烧烤类的食物。印度餐厅非常重视咖喱,特别喜欢运用各种香料调味,因此印度餐的咖喱种类会非常多,叫法也很繁杂,不是吃印度菜的高手恐怕叫不上来。大部分印度餐厅都有一种套餐,一个盘子里6-8个小碗,每个碗里装一小份咖喱,再配上米饭、软糕和薄饼,几乎把所有印度标志性的咖喱和主食都放进一个套餐里。我曾经问印度餐厅的服务员这应该怎么吃,他们却说看你喜欢哪个随便吃,如果觉得某一种咖喱好吃,还能让店家额外添加,可见印度人有多么喜爱吃咖喱。

这是一份印度餐厅里常见的咖喱套餐

 

如果你去的是一些更加接印度地气的印度餐厅,还会发现很多印度人才吃的很奇特的食物,或造型古怪,或色彩斑斓,看来印度菜的门道其实挺深,认为他们只有咖喱实在是短见。

大家不要以为咖喱是一道菜的名字,其实咖喱是各种香料的总称,不同餐厅都会有配上不同的香料,这就让不同餐厅的咖喱都会有所不同。但总的来说,那种在舌尖跳动的奇妙感觉是不变的,如果不细细回味,恐怕觉得吃得都是一样的东西吧。

印度菜的吃法,一般都是直接用手抓米饭或饼,蘸咖喱吃。这和巴基斯坦菜是雷同的。当然外国人去,他们也会提供刀叉备用。

另外需要注意的是,由于印度教的关系,许多印度人是不吃牛肉的,所以大多印度餐厅也不会提供牛肉,基本以鸡肉和羊肉为主,甚至有的印度餐厅只烹饪素食。但巴基斯坦菜就没那么多忌讳了。

 

巴基斯坦菜
巴基斯坦菜和印度菜接近,也分咖喱和烧烤,但口味则会重很多。没有印度餐这么强调香料的调配,而是直接用最猛的料,扑以最凶猛的口感,直接征服你的味蕾。因此吃巴基斯坦菜要比吃印度的爽气得多。

巴基斯坦餐里我最中意的是一种类似“干锅”的菜。我戏称它为“锅儿”,是把肉类和各种香料辣椒放在一个小铁锅里,放在大火上烧,烧到水干冒油,端上来还呲呲作响,肉被烹制的极嫩,配上凶猛的辣椒和香料,用甘甜的大饼蘸酱裹肉吃,对喜欢辛辣的朋友那是无与伦比的美味。

巴基斯坦餐厅景点的铁锅咖喱

 

在巴基斯坦餐厅就餐经常能看到厨房里有一块大圆铁板,很多菜都是用这块铁板烹制的,另一道我喜欢的巴基斯坦KIMA(音译),就是将香料和肉末用铁板翻炒,香气扑鼻,用饼裹起来吃回味无穷。按中国人的吃法,打包回去做拌面和拌饭,也是极佳的选择。

能搭配任何主食的巴基斯坦炒肉末

总体而言,印度菜热衷香料的复杂调配,巴基斯坦菜则猛烈直接。正好贴切印度人性格上的狡猾婉转,巴基斯坦人的生猛单纯的特点。饮食文化好像确实可以和民族特色联系起来。

在下一集,让我们来谈一下印巴餐厅有哪些共同特质吧!
