Why not ask the Indians? Because many of the widely eaten curries in the western world were actually developed in Britain, for British customers? The Pasanda you get served is more likely to be the European version than the original Indian version. The same goes for Jalfrezi, Dhansak, Vindaloo, etc. What makes you think that? It's the troof, even the Jinglies accept it Are you saying my mother cooked me British cuisine growing up, which she would have learned from who? |

I guess I'll be the asshole here. Curry is absolutely disgusting.
Flame suit on, bitches! |

Not Brit , but last year in Ireland it was easier to find Thai or Indian food in Dublin than shepherds pie or Irish stew. Bit of an eye opener for my girl and I. Our host finally called a friend of his who's family owned a pub and had them make us shepherds pie. It's a small world lol.

My mum (when she was alive) could make a curry of the gods, which looking back on it was ironic as we came from N Ireland, but they were absolutely awesome and not too hot, just full of flavour I really miss her |

A British doctor has become the first person to finish the world's hottest curry at a UK restaurant - despite suffering hallucinations brought on by the dish. Consultant radiologist Ian Rothwell, 55, took over an hour to eat 'The Widower' curry - which tops six million units on the Scoville Scale and is hotter than a drink of anti-riot tear gas. The curry, which is filled with 20 Naga Infinity Chillis - the second hottest on the planet - is so dangerous to make it has to be prepared by chefs wearing goggles and a face mask. But Dr Rothwell became the first out of 300 people to successfully tackle the curry at the Bindi restaurant in Grantham, Lincolnshire, on Thursday evening - and said completing the challenge was harder than when he climbed Mount Kilimanjaro last year. After signing a disclaimer acknowledging his awareness of the risks involved with eating the curry, Dr Rothwell got ate the chicken dish with a bottle of Cobra beer. Despite walking out of the restaurant half-way through after suffering hallucinations, he returned a short time later when his wife found him wandering along the high street. And fighting back tears for another hour, Dr Rothwell finally managed to swallow the last mouthful to defeat the dish. 'I like hot curries and have at least one a week, but this was off the scale,' he said. 'It took me about an hour to eat it and I had to stop half way through and go out for a walk and some fresh air. 'My wife and the owner were quite worried and said I was hallucinating, but I managed to go back inside and finish the curry.' Mr Rothwell decided to take up the challenge after his daughter Alice's boyfriend told him his friends had failed to eat the hot curry. ... more at the link.... Doctor eats world's hottest curry… and it's so violent he gets hallucinations and chefs have to wear goggles to make it |

I used to work in a record distribution warehouse in London in the late 80s and we had a running "Indian Take-Away Top 10" list going with hits such as "It's My Bhaji (and I'll Cry If I Want To", "Tears on my Pilau", "Papadum Preach","Korma Chameleon", "You Can't Curry Love"....
That being said, we just had Goan and Korma curries with grouper last night, along with samosa and batura. Fish or shrimp steamed with mustard seeds is amazing, as well. Sadly a lot of Indian restaurants seem to have menus as diverse as that of McDonalds in neighboring towns. |

Quoted: Are you saying my mother cooked me British cuisine growing up, which she would have learned from who? View Quote If she was cooking traditional Indian curries, then it would be different to the British versions. We basically took the names of existing dishes and applied them to westernised versions. Now, many of those westernised versions are finding their way back to India. It's pretty weird, but true. |

english food is the most bland shit you'll ever eat.
my experience with indian, i use to love it until two weeks ago with the shrimp saag - my poo was the same color as it entered and exited within two hours |

The Indian joints in the UK can be tasty, but they still aren't the same as the ones in Mumbai. I'm guessing there are a number of import restrictions on certain food items into the UK and that makes the difference. I never want to go to India again though.

My daughter done did good. She married a great 1/2 Indian (dot). He learned from his mother who cooks great curry. Have you ever been to a house where the curry smell was so overpowering it took days to clear your nose. This is not her house. Yes there was a slight scent of curry but I actually wondered if we were having hamburgers. It was some of the best curry I have ever eaten. Curt also cooks with his mom's finesse. He is slowly trying to teach me. I don't know what all the dishes are called but they all taste great!! Chicken, pork, goat, and yes we actually do beef. Not to mention the crab, can't really mention it as I have not tried that yet. I am told it is out of this world. It helps greatly to get the right curry powder. Curt's aunt makes it for the whole family. I get my yearly stipend and it is used judiciously. |

I love curry, need to find out how to make it since my fix is only satisfied if I go out to get it. Knowing how to use the spices is a big part of doing the whole thing.

That's like asking a German about Turkish food. eh--i'd say more like asking someone from arizona about mexican food. you'd get an american palate that is educated in the cuisine, which can be quite useful. i work closely with a number of indians. when you ask indians about indian food, you get long lists of incomprehensible and damn near unpronounceable terms that aren't very helpful. |

A question for you Brits. Is Kohinoor Foods a decent brand? I have lots of their precooked stuff that comes in either retort or mylar pouches. I have no clue what good Indian food tastes like, but this stuff is pretty good.

Ive never had Indian food yet, I'm willing to try it since I really enjoy Thai curries. It's just not common out west. I also want to try donnar (sp) kebabs.

I will look harder now. ETA:I just checked and sure enough there are two by the campus. Both serve a buffet, so I'm kinda sceptical on how authentic it will be, especially for a first timer.

Every curry ever made is garbage. The same people that eat curry would just as happily eat a babbies soiled diaper.
