Hello,
Your question reminds me a Indian dude who was of the opinion that Vishnu, Shiva are Indian god and he was asking me why I dont worship Nepali god If i am a Nepali. I asked him how come these gods are Indian god? He replied don't you know they speak Hindi, they ware clothes like Indians. Poor guy was too much influenced by Bollywood films, he thought thoses gods speak Hindi. It is exactly same as saying Jesus is a English god because in Holywood films Jesus speaks english.
In south India they eat different types of food namely, Dosa, Edly Uttapam, Samber (similar to daal), they rarley eat plain rice as we do in nepal, instead hey eat termeric rice, lime rice, emly rice. These food are called south indian food ( not indian food).
In Punjab and Hariyana area they eat mainly chapati/rooti with tarkari and sometime daal. In Asam area they eat different type of food.
The so called "Indian food" like Naan, Biriyani, Tanduri Chicken, Palak panir, Curry, Pulawoo rice, as served in most of the so called "Indian resturant " are mix of Mughal food and Arabic food. If you ask any Indian he will say that those are indian food.
According to Rice research Institute per capita consuption of irce in India is arround 70kg while in Nepal it is 92 kg ( for exact figure please Google it out)
Regarding the origin of rice I want to quote following
"According to Chang(1976), domestication of rice in Asia may have occurred independently at about same time in many places along a broad belt extending from the Ganges Plains below the eastern foothills of the Himalayas, across northern Burma, northern Thailand, Laos and Vietnam, to Southwest and South China. Japanese analysis on variations in isoenzymic genotypes in native rice varieties showed that the center of genetic diversity exists in the area of Assam India and Yunnan China (Nakagahra and Hayashi 1977). Therefore They concluded that the area is the origin of cultivated rice and it was broadly accepted up to early 1990s. However Korean archaeologist Ahn Sung-Mo insisted in his book(1999) that middle and lower Yangtze river is the origin of cultivated rices based on the earliest archaeological evidences in China.
The problem with Hindi speaking Indian dudes are they watch too much Indian TV and I ahve found Indian TVs are mostly like Bill O'Rielys presenttation of Fox news channel. In other words most of the Indians have problem of diversity of knowledge although they have good knowledge for the work.
After saying all these now it is clear that rice is not only an Indian food it is a universal food like bread and the combination of Daal, Bhat,Tarkari is a Nepali style of staple food which resembles more to the food eaten in West Bengal and Bangladesh.
