- Note: The first Jews arrived in India more than 2,000 years ago. Three distinct communities later sprang up on the subcontinent: Bombay in the west, Cochin in the southwest; and in the east, Calcutta. This Bombay dish is sweetened with bananas and raisins, quite different from European honey-glazed carrots.
