How much do you LOVE Indian food?!
Since comig to the USA I don't see much Indian food love, but where I'm from its a tradition.
Why don't Americans eat curry the way we do in UK?
Answers:
first of all it isn't curry, and that isn't the only thing we eat, I can tell your white already lol. Roti daal, Tandoori are my faves, NAAN is a delicacy!!!!!!!!!!
LMAO papdum isn't spicy at all
Rajesh and the other poster is right.
What Indian food I have had is great, but admittedly, as an accomplished home cook who loves all kinds of ethnic cuisine to cook and eat, I haven't made hardly any Indian dishes.
It doesn't freak me out or anything, it's just different. I love curries, coconut milk, spiciness etc of other countries but Indian is something I would like to try more often.
Frankly, part of it is the 'eating with the hand' thing.
Ingredients that some people consider odd. Lots of shallots and garlic and ingredients that are hard to get much less hard to pronounce.
Some people consider Indians as eating a primarily vegetarian diet - hence - boring. Which it's not.
Depending on what part of the country you are in, you probably won't find a lot of Indian food. If you live somewhere like San Francisco - it's everywhere.
Listen Mister, Indian people don't actually eat the kinds of foods you eat in resturaunts, like korma with naan. They eat yucky foods. Go to a "gurdwara" (a sikh temple) and eat food from there (It's free). Tons of people eat there, but if you eat, you would think, "yuck, who would eat this, unless they were starving." It is very very similar too the kinds of foods Indians cook at home, except it's cooked on a mass scale, and sometimes different vegetables are mixed with eachother.
Oh, I was getting side-tracked. Umm, I guess it's because there are a lot more Indians in the UK (percentage wise) than in America.
Because UK was the country who got involved with India and learn about their customs; cuisine included. So the British are familiar with it, but in US people tend to regard curry as smelly and bad-tasting.
In Canada Indian cuisine is more widely accepted and savored. I personally like it alot, though what I eat might differ greatly than what Indians eat back home.
all of it. the spicier, the better. it's hard to find restaurants though
