Here are some friends with simlar question as we.And I have this question for many days,anyone help us?
Kitty said: Yes.Why do Indian restaurants serve beef dishes?-I try seach this on internet but no results found.Maybe this is a stupid question.
Mike said: oh,no,you are wrong.I have found as below for this question(Why do Indian restaurants serve beef dishes?),it will help you,my kids.
Hindus cannot eat beef as it is a forbidden food for them. The reason being, there is this bull named Nandi and he is Shiva's (a god) vechicle. So, if they eat beef, they are eating Nandi. When I go to Indian restaurants I see Beef Vindaloo, Bhoona Gosht and other beef dishes. Why are these restaurants serving forbidden food? Do Indian restaurants hire non -- Hindu staff to prepare these beef dishes? Thank you for your time in sharing with me why this is so.
Answer:
Not all Indians are Hindu. A good third, I'd guess are Muslim/Christian/Budhist so they have no problem eating Beef. In the US, I know alot of Hindu's who consider it okay to eat beef, but that is not the mainstream, its just kids who were brought up here and decided against their parents restrictive choices.
Dishes like Beef Vindaloo, I think, originated in Goa, and other places which had Non Indian occupied territories, and others from South India, where there are alot of Christians.
not all people from india are hindu
are you talking about indian restaurants in the USA? because all foreign cuisine is "americanized", if you go to the actual country you find slightly different items on the menu. chinese food is a good example, Panda express is not what you'd find in China! americans are big on beef, so I'm sure the Indian restaurants know this and act accordingly....
It's true cows are sacred.But those might be Zoroaustrians.
Not all Indians are Hindu. There are Muslims, Christians, Sikhs and many other religions across India.
Some Indians are vegetarian, but restaurants generally cater to all sorts of clientele which is why you see such a varied menu.
(Interestingly, I've never been in an Indian restaurant that has pork on the menu.)
Actually, they hire Estonians.
I thought most Indian restaurants did not serve beef because like you said it goes against the Hindu faith and that is the predominant religion of the nationality. I guess if you have been to one that serves beef it is because the owners are Indian but are not Hindu. Thanks for this question by the way. I wasn't sure what I was gonna get for dinner tonight, but I think I might get take out chicken tandoori or chicken tika masala now.
Non-vegetarian Indian restaurants are mostly run by people originating from the North of India or Pakistan where the population is largely Muslim. Strict Hindus are vegetarian and do not eat beef or any other meat products.
Much of India's population is not Hindi...so they can eat beef.
I am an Indian from the southern state of Kerala, and am Christian. At home, we eat everything and anything - no restrictions at all. You would find the same fundamental applied in many such restaurants - frog's legs, beef fry, rabbit masala, pork curry, etc, aside from the usual chicken and fish dishes.
So the non-beef-eating image of India that many people is only part of the varied cultures that makes up my country.
And just FYI, Bhuna Gosht is a mutton dish, not a beef one.
Hi ...
Most of the Indian restaurants in India do not serve no-veg food. In the ones that serve, it is mainly eggs, chicken, fish and lamb. The Muslim restaurants serve beef dishes and the Christian owned ones serve beef and pork.
Outside India, most of the Indian restaurant serve non-veg, mainly eggs, chicken, fish and lamb. The ones that serve beef are Muslim or Christian owned.
Almost all Hindus do not eat beef but there could be a few who are now 'hamburgerized' and do eat beef and pork.
