East Indian Cuisine is a mix of Maharashtrian, Portuguese and British techniques and methods using aromatic spices in their dishes.
The main ingredient for any East Indian recipe is the use of bottle masala which is a powdered masala using various spices stuffed in a bottle - usually a beer bottle. This spice mix can be used to make chicken or mutton or any meat gravy dish.
