Best food plating and presentation
Presentation
is one of the most important aspect of good Indian cuisine. Imaginative
garnishes can make any dish into something exciting and eye pleasing. Here are
some exciting ways to prepare a beautiful plating experience.
1. The colour game
Indian foods
are generally on the brighter side, so the best ways to decorate them is to add
chopped nuts, lemon slices, tomato slices along with lettuce and coriander
leaves. Adding colour and crisp texture works best with the savoury dishes.
2. Jazz it up with sauces and chutney
Foreign
herbs like parsley and rosemary do not go with the typical Indian food, so the
best way is to have Indian sauces and chutney to create a flourish texture and
colour on the serving plate.
Chutney of coriander, tamarind, red chillies will serve the best purpose.

importance of right plate size, colour, and style cannot be emphasized enough.
Indian foods are generally very vibrant so it’s better to serve them in a white

is tasted with the eyes beforehand. So presentation and styling is crucial. We
did give you some major styling hacks and here are some don’ts that should be avoided to when it comes to
plating.
• Do not
place the moist ingredients like mashed potatoes or gravy items on top of
something dry, this can completely ruin the placing.
• avoid
sprinkling salt or pepper on top of your food it can ruin the flavour as it
won’t be distributed evenly.
• always
remember when it comes to garnishing, less is more. Never over garnish the
food, it can ruin the original flavour of the meal.
• avoid
creating large chunks or heaps of raw herbs or vegetables rather spread it evenly.
• do not garnish food with lemons or any citrus chunks or anything that has a strong odor, it can alter the food's original taste and flavour in a long course of time.
