I don't find it at all unpleasant, but others might. Shit, others might find the color of my lunch box offensive. So yeah, they can deal with it. It's not like I'm eating a human foot for lunch.

I love the smell of Indian food. I make Indian dishes frequently. One spice however, which is used in almost every dish has a very, very potent smell and I think that's the one that gives this distinct odor that lingers. It's called garam masala. I have a massive jar of it in my pantry! To me, it's a wonderful smell. But, it is potent and it definitely lingers. You can't beat the amazing taste it gives to food though.

Maverick Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I have some next door neighbors who are Indian, and when they cook...OMG! Luckily, there is a killer Indian restaurant that is about 5 minutes from my house. It can get kind of pricey for dinner, but the Lunch buffet is where it's at. I could eat butter chicken, Basmati rice, and naan every day and never get tired of it. And the spices they rub on the tandori chicken are excellent, as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebuckeye2112 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 (edited) Indian Food is amazing, typically I have a high endurance for Spice. My favorite Indian dish is probably: Chicken Vindaloo, It is awesome to the power of infinity, or as Dave Lister from Red Dwarf would probably say "It is Fan-Smegging-Tastic."

grep Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 I love Indian Food. Even if I can't pronounce the names right. A couple of times I went to a place that had Indian Food from the north. So it was like a blend of Chinese and Indian. Like Chinese food with Indian spices. Delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbanezJem Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 It's the only food I really really love. Got a couple of decent restaurants within walking distance and have messed around with them enough at home over the years to be able to produce something half decent. If I ever win a lifetime supply of anything, I hope it's curry! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
condemned2bfree Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Indian food is one of my favourites. My hometown embraced this type of food so much, they created a new dish called "Balti" or bucket :) As it's cooked in a special bowl. Prawn saag, Madras, chicken tikka, all depending on the area of India. Yet to try a Zindaloo. :fury: :fury: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you been to Heritage India in ( I think) Cathedral Heights? We were there recently visiting friends and it was sooo good! Even the dessert was different and delicious- some type of cake balls in a sugar syrup. . . :hail: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metallithrax Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Got Tikka Masala in the slow cooker at this very moment. Not made fresh, it is Sharwoods cooking sauce. When making things like this we never stick to a recipe we just put whatever vegetables we have into the pot. |Today we have potato, broccoli, mushroom and leek. For the meat we are having pork. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You add that to a base (which you make with pepper, onion, tomato, turmeric, garlic and ginger) and it is as close as you will get at home to the real curry house flavour, and you can tweak the spices and thickness to suit your palette. Worth the hassle of prep as you can make a dozen bases at a time and freeze them. And always have one ready for curry emergency :ebert: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too, not heard of "Mr Hudas" have to look out for that. Love to add fresh Coriander. A female friend showed me how to make an authentic curry, which I'm forever grateful.

It tastes totally different depending on whether my wife or I make it... partly because I am totally unable to focus on a simple recipe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
