History of Halal Food
Halal food refers to food that is prepared from ingredients that are “halal” or permissible in Islamic law, which is defined in the Koran. This applies particularly to animal meat, which has to be obtained through specific procedures to be considered halal. In addition to the meat, halal food also requires ingredients that are pure, hygienic and free from any harmful ingredients.
Halal food is unique and popular because it is not only healthy but also extremely delicious.
Halal food was introduced in the USA somewhere around the 1960s, with an increase in Muslim immigrant populations. This trend continued to grow and spiked particularly in the 1990s. With the development of specialist butchers who could slaughter the animals the “halal” way, halal products began to become globalized and diversified. This resulted in “halal” becoming a commercial quality label.
There are several amazingly mouthwatering halal dishes that you can enjoy.
For example, there is a range of Kebabs that are made out of mutton, chicken, or cow meat, along with specific herbs, spices and other ingredients that give the meat an extraordinary flavor and taste. There are several Indian, Arabic, Turkish, Lebanese and other Kebab recipes, such as Tandoori Chicken, Turkish Kofta Kebab, Chicken Boti Kebab, Beef Gypsy Kebab, Lamb Shish Kebab and Lamb Kofta Kebab.
You can also try the finger-licking halal curries such as Chicken Tikka Masala, Beef Nihari, Haandi Curry, Fish Masala, Butter Chicken. Mango Chicken Curry, Coconut Chicken Curry, and Shashi Korma. These curries are served with a flatbread called “chapati” or with saffron basmati rice.
