Food is an essential component of a country's identity and cultural heritage. Different countries have unique cuisines that reflect their national identity. When it comes to India, this concept holds even more significance as each region in the country has its own distinct cuisine. And this is why Indian food has been gaining immense popularity around the world in recent years. Recently, a former UK diplomat, Dr Andrew Flaming, shared how he prepared a dish that was a British interpretation of Indian cuisine. He shared how he learnt to make this dish while serving his tenure in Hyderabad for five years.

Dr Andrew Flaming shared a picture of the dish he prepared on Twitter. In the post, he reveals that his father was suffering from a chest infection, so he decided to cook something for him. The photo shows a plate full of rice topped with what seems to be prawn curry. We could also spot a bowl of what seems to be chutney kept along with it. "As my last post hinted my father has been unwell, so last night I had to venture into the kitchen. And what better for someone with a lingering chest infection than a nice British interpretation of Indian cuisine with a few secret add-ons I learnt about during 5 years in #Hyderabad?" read the caption of the post.
