Indian
Indian cuisine encompasses an incredible range of styles, spanning simple vegetarian fare to lavish exotic dishes layered with texture and flavor. Regional differences in ingredients, spices and cooking techniques all play an influence in its development; for instance ghee adds toasty buttery flavor as well as golden color to many Indian dishes; while delicate saffron adds delicate fragrance. Many recipes use masala blends unique to each region – for instance the southern Indian state of Kerala uses lots of coconut in combination with cinnamon cardamom cloves and nutmeg as part of its unique combinations – for example
Delhi, the Indian capital, offers an eclectic blend of cuisines from various regions. Cumin, coriander and turmeric spices are widely used across India; vegetarian meals are common while meat and chicken also exist as main courses. Mumbai (Bombay), located to the west, serves an eclectic range of international foods.
Eastern Indian cuisine tends to be simpler, relying heavily on rice and vegetables with accompanying yogurt, seeds, nuts, herbs, and spices – often served all together on one large platter called a “thali”. It embodies this concept perfectly.
New York City is home to some of the finest Indian restaurants worldwide. Junoon in Manhattan showcases this concept by merging classic Indian recipes with contemporary sensibility. Both their menu and service reflect New York City’s cultural diversity, offering traditional Punjabi fare as well as more exotic South Indian fare.
Semma’s menu at Semma draws heavily from south Indian states of Kerala, Karnataka and Goa. Chef Roni Mazumdar and her team adapt authentic recipes so they are more accessible for American diners while still upholding authenticity – such as goat intestines flavored with curry leaf or Mangalore Huukkosu cauliflower fritters with fresh coconut chutney! Located in West Village this eatery also features its take on an Indian breakfast favorite dosa which is created using batter made from soaked lentils mixed with yogurt which then baked until crispy; fillings such as potatoes or hearts of palm are added in between.
Vietnamese
Vietnamese cuisine is well known for being culturally representative, from their clothing to the language dialects they speak and traditional dishes such as pho and banh mi.
Vietnamese meals typically feature rice as the central element, and this staple can usually be found at most restaurants. Accompanied by various vegetables, herbs and meats – many with strong flavors that play off each other beautifully – Vietnamese cuisine boasts an abundance of variety; the freshness of ingredients such as vegetables cooked only briefly before being briefly grilled or quickly boiled is also remarkable.
By nature, Vietnamese dishes are very light and refreshing – making them ideal for Vietnam’s scorching climate.
Vietnamese cuisine has grown increasingly popular throughout the western world, becoming widely available and accessible, especially to places with large Vietnamese immigrant communities, like Australia and the US. There are even television programs dedicated to celebrating and showcasing Vietnamese culture and cuisine such as Luke Nguyen’s Vietnam which showcase it.
Pho and banh mi are not the only delectable Vietnamese dishes to try; ca kho to, a caramelized catfish dish served over white rice is another popular Vietnamese cuisine option. Fish sauce can also be enjoyed alongside this meal!
Other delicious Vietnamese cuisine to sample includes the delectable dish known as nem ran, which is a type of stuffed spring roll made of clear rice dough filled with shrimp and ground pork and then wrapped in banana leaves. Served as an hors d’oeuvre at buffet-type parties, its name derives from its popularity among the Vietnamese royal family who once dined on it!
As more people around the world become acquainted with Vietnamese cuisine, its native country is slowly but surely creating its own cuisine. A new generation of chefs are evolving their own signature style that draws from heritage while integrating modern techniques. It will be exciting to witness how these new styles alter Vietnamese culinary history!
Mud Crab
Scylla serrata, more commonly known as the mud crab or black crab, is an ecologically significant estuarine crustacean that supports significant fisheries harvest across the Indo-West Pacific. This crab can be found feeding in mangroves and estuaries throughout Australia, Africa, and Asia where they feed on oysters, clams, marsh periwinkles, small aquatic animals like marsh periwinkles etc. A large claw equipped with teeth on its finger is used for cracking shells while another smaller claw like claw will pick them up prey items; additionally this crab will even attack other mud crabs when they molt!
Effective fisheries management of mobile species requires an in-depth knowledge of their foraging habitats, and how these may be altered by environmental influences like tide flow or temperature changes. An essential element in this is understanding individual animal movements around the seafloor – something called fine-scale movement behavior.
GPS tracking technology has allowed us to monitor the movements and habitat use of Giant Mud Crab (Scylla serrata), in order to identify patterns in its behaviour. We found that Giant Mud Crabs use both tide flows and currents as guides for their movements; individuals may become more active when these flow strengths increase or low tide occurs, suggesting fine-scale movement behaviour could be an adaptive strategy used by Giant Mud Crabs as an adaptive means for optimising foraging opportunities.
Stable isotope analysis has demonstrated that crabs are carnivorous predators, feeding on benthic macroinvertebrates like gastropods, crustaceans and molluscs found throughout their habitats. Our stable isotope research will assist future studies aimed at understanding how habitat-based diet strategies might contribute to managing fisheries harvests of this keystone predatory species.
