Btw, any recipe that involves curry powder isn't even true indian cooking.

Make it from scratch instead of taking the easy route. It tastes better. Report It

    Curry is much misunderstood concept about Indian food. This has come about mainly from UK where Indians, Bangladeshis & Pakistanis opened restaurants and popularised Indian food.

    India is a huge country copnsisting of 30 States and over 16 offical languages. We have Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs and Christians. The food habits as well as cusisine varies from one part of the country to the other. As such we cannot say that there A particular dish which can be called Pan-Indian. With the popularity of North India style of Food all over India, we can say that many vegetable dishes like Aloo-Mutter ( Potatoes& Green Peas in a curry sauce)and chicken dishes like Tandoori Chicken( Oven Roasted Marinated chicken with bones) are available and relished all over India.

    80% of Indians are Hindus and 80% of Hindus are vegetarians.

    It isn't curry.

    It's called shaak.

    Curry is just the name on the sauce. Other people just think "Oh, indians eat curry, nuff said"

    They're just dense.

    Basically, they have meals with flat bread (chapatti/roti), shaak (a curry based dish with meat, vegetables or fish) and boiled rice.

    For dessert they would usually have a spiced ice cream called kulfi.

    The people up there who said curry are just single minded.
