Indian Food

[Woodznutz]

I've found that like every type of food, regions have a lot to do with how good they are. I particularly like food from Michoacan and Chihuahua, but not really a fan of Sonoran or Baja food. Comparing Taco Bell or any other American-Mexican fast food outlet to actual Mexican cuisine is like comparing McDs to a good well-aged and prepared steak dinner.

We have several Mexican eateries here. I have eaten at two of them and the food is really good. The "Birdbath" margueritas are great too.

LOL, we had a place that we went to many years ago that served those giant margaritas. I asked how much alcohol was in them and was told "ounce and a half" They were great if you were next to the can.

Curry is just a ground leaf, a single spice, lots of Indian dishes don't even use it.

I cooked a wonderful chicken Madras years ago and the recipe's primary spice was in fact black pepper.

Indian curry powder is not ground curry leaves, you racist dipshit.

It's a spice blend of many different ingredients, usually turmeric, cumin, ginger, pepper, dry mustard, etc.

You're what happens when a person who grew up in an all-white place, with racist parents, tries to sound intelligent.

I know what you mean. Worse for me as I'm incontinent.

I still have one of the glasses. I walked out of the place with it in full view. I guess they figured it was worth it since I paid $9 for 1.5 oz. of tequila and a lot of mixer. LMAO

Indian cuisine is amongst the best the world has to offer but getting it in the US can be patchy. It's common on the coastal/northern states but less so elsehwre, for example here in AZ it's pretty hard to find a decent place that's close.

Who else likes this style of food and what's your favorite dish?

There is one place in San Rafael that makes the best garlic Non.

I live in Silicon Valley, and I've partaken in many good Indian feasts.

Just last Monday I had home-cooked Indian food. My favorite was a dish that had shrimp with noodles. The chicken curry and rice were good too. And always enjoy good Nann bread.

Pork isn't all that common in Indian cuisine.

yes, I know. But that is a glaring example of bad food being covered up by junk.

LOL! I once snuck a full glass pitcher of beer out at closing time in my girlfriend's huge purse. I returned the empty pitcher the next day (we wanted the beer, not the pitcher), I told the bartender that I found it in the parking lot.

I follow Latifs Inspired on YouTube, his recipes are spot on. We made the Tandoori chickens wings the other night, he posted the recipe 6 days ago, damn nice.

I make an Indian meal about 3 times a week, normally a Chicken Tikka Dupiaza. Paneer Dupiaza is nice too, as well as Chicken Achari due to the pickle.

Indian food may never get much of a wide acceptance in America due to their overwhelmingly poor representation by having some of the worst restaurants in existence.
Going to an Indian restaurant that you are not familiar with is a massive risk, and a real possible end result that leaves you sitting on a toilet.
Every single time I was talked into going to one, I regretted it. I have never had good Indian food at any establishment. Ever.
I, however, make several Indian dishes myself and they are quite good. I believe the reason is every Indiana immigrant thinks they can open a restaurant - they can't.

I used to think Indian food was gross until I tried this restaurant's take-out, courtesy of one of my ex-employers. It was absolutely amazing, and turned me into a believer. I started to look around for Indian restaurants nearby, and did find one that was also excellent. I stopped going though for various reasons.

Chicken Jalfrezi and a Peshwari Nan. Heaven on a plate. Indian food has gone up market over here over the last few years.
You can still get a basic curry in the village but the bigger towns have more interesting menus.
When I worked in Birmingham I had a loyalty card for Paks supermarket. It was my happy place.
Indian food has transformed british cuisine since the 60s. Very much for the better.
