Eh, I'll pass on the Indian food, ain't found a damn one of them who could grill a good steak anyway.

I love Indian food. My former bro-in-law is Pakastani, he turned me on to it.

Also, if you like Indian food I would highly recommend trying out Ethiopian as well. They have some similar qualities, IMO.

Just harder to find... but I agree, well worth trying if the opportunity presents itself.

I really like Indian food as well. I've been told by multiple Indians that the majority of what is popular here in the States is from the Punjab region.

It's good to remember that India is a large country, with multiple ethnicities, i.e. culinary traditions. "Curry" is probably a term as widespread and controversial as "BBQ." BBQ is in the eye of the beholder--some like smoky pig & cider vinegar, some prefer beef brisket & gloppy tomato-sugar sauce. (But I'm not judgin'.)

As has been said, finding Indian Food that is both authentic and good can be a challenge--anywhere! Let's face it: there are a lot of s#!77y Mexican restaurants... even in Mexico! It pays to look around.

I think that the Indian place at Ayersly is pretty good for lunch. There is a place on South near Tyvola called Jaipur that is sometimes good and sometimes not. There is a fancy place on West that I just don't like.

I work out at the Y right beside the Indian joint in Ayersly and the seems like their exhaust is tied into the HVAC of the Y.

I will eat the naan but the rest of it I wouldn't trade a MRE for.

Ate an Indian girl once, does that count?

There's some potent fragrances in Indian food, especially if they don't ditch the Asafoetida.

Yeah, most of what you find in the States is northern Indian cuisine. Very hard to find southern Indian cuisine (well, outside of the home of someone from south India); I doubt you'll find such a restaurant in the states outside of very large cities and even then you may only find a few in a city as large as NYC. Northern Indian cuisine is very heavy on the cream and generally very rich. It's great for dining out, knowing a food coma will follow.

There is a great Southern Indian place just outside of DC that I go to every time I have to go up there. A good friend of mine took me there for the first time and found out that he and the owner are both from Vallioor. We didn't leave for hours after that conversation got started. Drank a lot of "apong"? I think that was what he called it. Oh my... Don't do that when you have to work the next morning.

We love Indian food in this house. I do make all of my masalas from freshly roasted and ground whole spices. We are fortunate in our area to have an abundance of Asian markets.

I make my own paneer cheese and a wicked good ricotta with the whey.

Just put a dish in the instant pot. Cabbage leaves, eggplant, potatoes, ,dried tomatoes, Masala, Cooked pintos, mushrooms and onions. All layer by layer with a can of tomato sauce. Lunch in 60 min.

Sounds like food for my food... When do you add the meat?

would love to see a recipe for the ricotta

All veggies. No meat.

Ricotta? "Easy peasy"!

Keep whey from paneer process simmering. Add 1 heaping tsp of sea salt, 1 tbsp lemon juice and 1 qt buttermilk to whey. Stir until curds begin to form. Strain into muslin lined sieve.
