Your thoughts on Indian food? Yay or nay?
I really like garlic Naan and chole.
shareYay - but I prefer Chinese, Indonesian, Italian, Thai.
shareDelicious. As much variety as all of Italian cuisine. Not many people know that Indians created Yogurt as a counterpoint to their incendiary dishes. I think Gulab Jamon is the best Desert in the world. Basmati rice: yum. Cooking in ghee (clarified butter)? Pure genius.
Beware of “curry powder.” There are more than 3,000 curries in Indian cooking. The “curry powder” at your local Stop and Swipe does not BEGIN to do them justice.
The best. My ultimate comfort cuisine.
shareHaven't had it for ages. It's ok but all the dishes are similar and the same colour.
shareAs a cuisine overall, not for me. There's a lot of good, don't get me wrong, it's more about my bland and uncultured flavor palette really. The balance of flavors seems a little off for my taste, a little too extreme. Sweets are too sweet and hot/spicy dishes are sometimes "over-hot", like unpleasantly hot to the point of losing all actual flavour. The western classics like Naan and like butter chicken are mild though, and of course curries can be curated to your personal taste, so if you're looking to try something, go for the most popular dishes.
I think that's why I love Thai food so much, because of how well the flavours are balanced (again, according to my taste).
It's good, but not the very spicy stuff.
