Welcome back to Dal on the Table!
After exploring the diverse world of “Dals of India”, we’re happy to embark on a new culinary journey through Asia.
From the spicy lentil curries of India to the fragrant pulse dishes of other countries of Asia.
In this series, we’ll go into the rich cultural heritage of Asian pulses, exploring traditional recipes, cooking techniques, and the stories behind these beloved dishes. Join us as we discover the flavors, aromas, and traditions of Asia’s pulse culture!
Asia, the world’s largest continent, has an impressive array of records. It is home to the world’s largest country, Russia, the highest point on Earth, Mount Everest, and the lowest point on land, the Dead Sea, located between Israel and Jordan. Asia’s vast expanse encompasses a stunning diversity of cultures and geographical landscapes. Historically, India was once considered a separate continent, but tectonic plate movement merged it with Asia, creating the vibrant and dynamic continent we know today.
Pulse cultivation in Asia
Pulse cultivating in Asia is primarily practiced in India which is the world’s largest producer of pulses. Other countries in Asia that grow pulses include Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal. These few countries are known countries for producing pulses. As we proceed, let us find out about the other Asian countries who may be involved in pulse cultivation.
There are 48 countries in Asia, which can be divided into 6 topographical zones: North Asia, Central Asia, East Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and West Asia. We’ll explore each of these zones, one country at a time.
Happy reading!
Coming up next …… Pulse in Southeast Asia
