Have you tried Indian cuisine?

Butter Chicken with a nice floppy naan. I usually eat that til I hurt.

Chicken pakora or chicken poori to start
Tandoori whole sea bass, fried rice, daal.
I prefer chapati to naan.
Gulab jamun for dessert.

I’m starving now.

Indian food is the best. I like a medium spicy level. And Garlic Naan (pillowy bread). Cold Mango lassi or hot Chai tea to drink.

And i highly recommend smoking weed before eating Indian food. The “munchies” effect will have you tasting depths of flavor you never knew possible.

Chicken jalfrezi but madras/vindaloo levels of spice. The larger bits of peppers/chillies/tomato/onion alongside the chicken makes for good eating. Especially if you get a garlic naan to rip up and stuff with the curry and some pilau rice :drooling_face:

I was brought up on friday being curry night. Usually from a place called Stanley square. Which is still going to this day. (That’s usually how you tell a good take away I’m england. I love Indian food)

@iceman is that crepe what you would call a roti? Before its filled obviously because I cam make them and that looks tasty af. But not sure it would have the same effect dished up on a dock leaf :rofl:

Roti is in my top 5 foods of all time. It’s Trini/west Indy/Jamaican though I’m sure.

Dinner was a terrible time for me to open this thread. :stuck_out_tongue: There are no Indian restaurants near me. I’ve checked. If I could, I would’ve been sorely tempted to order some tandoori chicken, a few samosas and a mango lassi. I was already getting dinner ready, but I still would’ve been sorely tempted.

It takes a bit to invest in the spices but once you get the ingredients Indian food is fairly simple to make and way cheaper then what you can get from a restaurant been way cool to learn a bunch of different recipes

I downloaded a recipe a while ago, but yeah, the spices are where I got caught up. Never ended up looking into it, I’d need to order them online. Maybe after dinner, which is now ready. :slight_smile:

Awesome that you tried it and loved it! Now start working your way through Middle Eastern cuisine. All of their different breads and stuff are a blast to make. Lots of good food out there.

Injera is one of the neatest. Like a delicate sour Ethiopian pancake.

Injera rolls with Ethiopian food is awesome! A big plate of different stuff to scoop up. Delicious.

Ethiopian food is also delicious. We have a spot of 2 here.

For some reason, Indian is very popular in Buffalo and Niagara Falls. It’s all over, and one of my favorite cuisines. All the different spices blow me away. I’ve had mostly everything on the menu, but I like a good rogan josh with some chicken or veggi pakora, garlic naan and a rice pudding desert.

I love Indian. Also, as a vegetarian… you can pretty much trust that if an Indian restaurant says a dish is veg they really mean it.

Some favorites: chana masala, benghan bharta, onion pakora (pretty much any kind of pakora, my wife made this killer corn pakora once), samosas… chat… that crazy indo-chinese stuff like Gobi Manchurian… naan and chapati…

We don’t have good Indian near me but there are a few killer places in New Haven CT.

Oh, and if you ever have the chance… Trini roti… it’s Indian-caribbean fusion.

I thought there was or at least used to be a decent sized Indian community up there. At least you’ve got some of that up there. Haha Six hours is far, but at least you know you can go get some great examples of all cuisine with a long drive. Those Indian and Middle Eastern sweets are crazy good. Sütlaç, qatayef, majoon, shole zard, and so on. Don’t kill me for spelling. I’m a white American guy. I apologize. Haha

Yeah man, I also have Toronto in my backyard. Sometimes I ride my bike to over the border to get some Chinese food. It’s so much better than the Chinese food here, and the portions are massive.

Awesome! That’s really cool. Toronto is really nice. Great food there too. You have crazy passionate sports fans all around you, huh? Those Leafs fans are wild. Haven’t had a title in coming up on sixty years, but they really believe they’re the best always. Gotta love that insanity. Haha if I had the money and Canada let me in, I’d live in Vancouver or Toronto in a heartbeat.
