"What do you order?" • It depends on the restaurant, the regional variation and what they have on their list of 'signature dishes'. | |||

"What do you order?" When I go to a new Indian, I try to pick something from the house/chef's specials. It's always nice to have something you've never tried before. I enjoy hot, and generally pick something that is labelled hot and sound interesting. I will also have a peshawari naan if available. Cal | |||

"Only in India Much nicer and all cooked fresh. In UK Dansak rice can't get a ROTI" Can't say I've actually eaten indian food. All the so called Indian restaurants that I've visited are run by people from Bangladesh, yet we all know them as Indian. | |||

"Never understood the fascination with Asian food its mostly disguised with spices/chillies so you can't actually taste what you're eating i prefer Italian, mexican, spanish or home-grown British food " You're obviously eating in the wrong places or simply don't enjoy this kind of food. Well cooked asian food, like any other cuisine, uses spices to enhance the flavour not hide it. Nita | |||

South is much more spicy, less meat and some dishes are sweet and gooey like Dahi Bhalla Try Indian street food places like Mowgli or Kerala , it’s really nice | |||

"I am very uneducated when it comes to Indian food. Good suggestions for a newbie? " I'm not very clued up with it either. I usually just go for a vindaloo chicken curry with plain white rice. I wouldn't recommend a vindaloo curry for you if you don't like hot spicy food. Some of the food mentioned in this forum I haven't heard of before. | |||

"... Some of the food mentioned in this forum I haven't heard of before. " My Curry Mummy (similar idea to a Sugar Daddy) feeds me East African/Gujarati vegetarian fare with a whole different range of dish names you will never hear in Bengali and similar restaurants. Go to Green Street in East London or Tooting or up behind King's Cross and you will. For a start, 'sag' pronounced 'shark' is the word for any vegetable curry, not just spinach and bhajia is the name for spinach. Confused? | |||

I’m currently seeing a Gujarati girl , last night she taught me to make chicken curry and chapatti her way, it’s nothing like how I cook, or the restaurants I go to - absolutely amazing Gujarati & Pakistani restaurants also do Thali for lunch , it’s a large metal plate with multiple sections of daals, curries, yoghurt, naan, desert. Round here at local Asian community centres you can get Thali for £3 ! | |||

"Since lockdown I have started making my own in the traditional way . I have gone from visiting the Indian once or twice a week to now twice in the last year . I usually have Carolina reapers and about 10 green chillies in. The restaurants don't usually make it hot enough so that's another win." Try adding crushed cardoman seeds, cloves and bits of cinnamon. Also a whole Anise (Aniseed) Fry them carefully for about 5 minutes before adding the onions. This will give you warmth rather than heat but when you add the chilli , the combination will surprise you, you might reduce the chilli. Reapers will overpower the flavours | |||

I think I'm immune to the heat after 45 years of eating hotter and hotter curries I can't help myself?? | |||

"[Removed by poster at 28/03/23 16:49:04]" My ideal night out.. A few drinks and then walk to the Indian restaurant and have a couple more pints of cobra or kingfisher, before ordering a vindaloo, with rice and a naan to mop it all up. Walk home collapse on the bed and pass out to sleep. It doesn't get much better than that. | |||

"I don't get this obsession with swilling pints of Cobra. Is there something good about it? I don't really like drinking anything with meals, except an appropriate wine in extreme moderation. My stomach hardly has the capacity to cope with reaaonable quantities of rice or dal accompanying the main dish without distending it with fizzy lager. Another thing, Indian people I eat with don't eat poppadoms as a separate starter but usually crumble them onto the main dish being eaten and also take chutneys as an accompaniment to the curry. I believe that the poppadum and chutney course was thought up by restaurants as a delaying gambit along with the first round of lager swilling while the main course is being prepared." Whenever I visit an Indian restaurant I feel pressured to order my food immediately. They are always looking at me and hinting for me to place an order. I wish I had more time for swilling pints of cobra down | |||

Yeah I coupd drink 10+ pints and enjoy the food even more. Drinking alcohol after I've eaten is a different story though. | |||

"What do you order? I only realy like real Indian food in India nothing like what you get in the UK Is there anything better than Indian food in the UK?" I prefer the uk versions, Indian food in India outside of tourist areas is quite basic , mostly meat on bone too. I like Pakistani and Afghani food places like Desi and Kabul, basically out the high streets, cheap but not too cheap. If there’s just you and one or two other white people in the shop , you’re in the right place. If you’re the only white person, it’s possibly too cheap. | |||
