Now, see, that's very interesting. I can understand tech words, since a lot of them are new to us, too, but....

(Sorry if i seem dense....) Surely in India there are recipes, and yes, if you're going to make a sponge cake for the English family, you'd have to use English measurements. But surely there would have to be a sort of...mental translation, and there must be an Indian equivalent of 'teaspoon', even if it's a measure of weight.

It's all very odd to me - which isn't to say bad, or wrong, or stupid - just odd, and interesting.

Well, yes. In traditional cooking there are recipes, but they aren't recipes like you would think of today. They are more like lists of ingredients, which one is expected to be able to put together by taste. ...Which actually isn't unlike a lot of the older recipes in European tradition either. Standardized measurements in cooking didn't really come about until the 1700's.

In India the sort of weight measurements that come from Ayurvedic medicine are not made with the kind of equipment a cook would have had access to back then.

I don't know what to tell you. Most of this information is just stuff I have gleaned from watching entirely too many youtube videos about Indian food since I happen to really like it and like to learn how to do things the proper way.

Heee. Youtube, the new University of the World!
