What are some techniques of Chinese and Indian cooking, and some food related traditions in China and India?

Im doing a history project on Chinese cooking traditions, techniques, and holidays that are food related. Any info on where i could find things??

In India, they have a tandoor, which is a clay oven. It’s used for cooking tandoori chicken, naan, chicken tikka and kababs. The heat for a tandoor was traditionally generated by a charcoal fire or wood fire, burning within the tandoor itself, thus exposing the food to both live-fire, radiant heat cooking, and hot-air, convection cooking.

Temperatures in a tandoor can approach 480°C (900°F), and it is common for tandoor ovens to remain lit for long periods of time to maintain the high cooking temperature. The tandoor design is something of a transitional form between a makeshift earth oven and the horizontal-plan masonry oven,

Then there’s a tawa. A tawa is a round, thick iron griddle, slightly concave in the center. It is used when very high temperatures are needed and is mostly used for Indian unleavened breads called chappati or rotis. It is also used for cooking some unique dishes which require fast cooking, with the outer rim used to keep the dish warm. Popular in street food, especially Pau-Bhaji is a typical tawa dish and needs to be constantly stirred to avoid burning, and is served straight out of the tawa and eaten immediately on sour dough bread.

Steaming is another technique used to make briyani. Dum (Steaming): This process reflects the ingenuity of the Indian chefs. They virtually created a baking oven and a pressure cooker with very simple ideas. Food was partially cooked before hand. They then put this in a pot and sealed the cover with atta (dough) to capture the moisture within the food as it cooked tenderly and slowly over a charcoal fire. Coals was also placed on the lid to ensure even cooking.

They then added their main ingredients like rice or vegetables or meats or all three with spices, herbs, seasonings, saffron, tomato and let the food continue to cook in its own steam. The entire dish retained all its flavor and aroma and the slow cooking created perfect foods fit for their emperors and kings and rajahas.

The Indian Biryani is one of the most popular dum dishes. Dum means “to steam”.
