Do anybody cook Indian??? I LOVE Indian food ... Although I'm really a dyed in the wool carnivore...ooo-whee!!.....Indian....the only cuisine I could ever fathom going vegetarian with....the effects of the dry roasted spices ....YuMMM.
I want to learn about Indian clay pot cooking...I figure when I get too old to actually get on a plane & go to New Delhi...maybe I'll just be able to conjure it up in my kitchen!!!
India and Italy....aside from America these are my 2 favorite places in the world (so far).
I do now because a close Indian friend taught me some things, and Indian food is one of my favs, but I don't cook it that often since it is VERY time consuming and yes, I could go strictly veggie if it was Indian food.
I could eat rice pudding day and night too.
Matter of fact, we always ate that first, and then if there was room, we ate dinner.
and my girlfriend would make me a gallon or so for a partay and I would horde it and eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner the next day or two, until of course, someone pointed it might be getting sour.
But it took me a long time before I got over my Indian food fear when a college roommate woke me up from a hangover with her cooking, and I stumbled into the kitchen knocking over things looking for a fire extinguisher because I thought the apt. was on fire!
Then she invited me to her house to visit her family and they served me something I couldn't name, I couldn't swallow either, and then after about 15 minutes when they thought I would explode from the flames in my head, they threw a large dollop of yogurt over it to tone it down. :shock:
Depends on the province in India how spicy the food can get, and even my Indian friend said he couldn't eat dishes from certain provinces.
Planned on going to India with my girlfriend after visiting family in Holland, but we had to come back home unexpectedly, but was looking forward to going to Jaipur with her.

cuz we got to watch Bonanza on TV while EATING on TV TRAYS while we sipped our ONCE weekly allotted (soda) pop (Pepsi) ...guess on Sunday nights my Dad got to be a kid too...he's the only man I've ever known that thinks POPCORN is an damned entree!!! That's what we had for SUPPER on Sunday nights (does anyone else remember the country difference b'tween supper & dinner PLUS the winter / summer nuances???!!!
