The objective of our website is to explore the various dishes in INDIAN CUISINE in Malaysia,explore on thier origins and how they are prepared.

Three main cuisines are available in Malaysia: Indian, Malay (Muslim) and Chinese.

Indian influence in Malaysian cuisine started in the 19th century when large arrivals of Indian migrants were brought into the country as contract labourers to work in rubber estates and on the railways. Some did took the opportunity to set up trade in the textile and food industry. Indian cuisine can be divided into two mainstreams, Northern and Southern Indian cuisine.

North Indian cuisine - A typical North Indian meal would consist of breads - made from wheat flour such as Chapatis or Rotis [unleavened bread], Parathas [unleavened bread fried on a griddle] - served with vegetarian and non-vegetarian curries.

South Indian cuisine - is mainly fish and vegetables, often cooked in coconut milk, an important ingredient in South Indian cooking. Rice is a staple in South India and served with seafood, mainly fish and vegetable dishes.

Demographics of the end-user/target audience profile

-->our target audience is focused on all the international students and foreigners in Malaysia aged between 18 and 65. this is because most foreigners in Malaysia between 18 and 30 are students who are studying in local universities and most of them above 30 are here for work while some come here for retirement. This would be a good way of introducing them to the Indian food market so that they can be able to try the dishes out. its also appropriate because most foreigners from the age of 18 are willing to experience a lot of things in Malaysia including trying out new food and the same applies to elderly people.

-->we will also target the non Indian community or people in Malaysia as a way of encouraging them to try different food. by introducing the Malay people and Chinese people and other races that live in Malaysia, this would encourage diversity and unity among the people in Malaysia. Malaysia is a country of different cultures and races, so it will be a good way to help the cultures blend together by trying different food. we will focus mainly on people who are more than 18 years old because they are more independent and willing to try new things.
