Controversial Indian Food Opinion

OOOSH YEAH

I don’t think it’s very good. It’s over the top. Just watching Tony Singh on Saturday kitchen making masala Lobster. What an absolute waste of a lobster. That’s far too much to put on a lobster. The lobster should be the main flavour of the dish. Once you start relying on loads of spices in your food your palate is ruined. The Indians haven’t a clue about food because they always have to have huge flavours and never seem to be satisfied with subtle flavours. When Indians go on masterchef you just know they’re making a curry. It’s predictable and boring.

Indian spices should be no where near any seafood except maybe monkfish.

I totally agree..I'd put Chinese food as more boring than Indian like..after a couple of mouthfuls it's just same old same old..I'd rather have sausage beans and chips with brown sauce any day.

Chinese is alright but the dishes that tend to be on uk menus tend to be quite safe. I’d never go out for a Chinese now. Last time I was out for an Indian it was boring.
 
I like a curry, but it is my safe option. It's never particularly interesting or different and it's not a style of cooking I'd apply to anything but chicken.

Aye but the good people of England like to sit in English cafes eating carveries, full englishes and drinking fosters and John smiths in Benidorm. Just because you’re from somewhere it doesn’t mean you have taste.
 
To be fair mate, regardless of what we think, and I watched it and thought it looked shite, he’s on the telly voicing his culinary opinions, whereas we are on the smb :)

That’s it. It’s just a vessel for chicken really. It’s a waste of prawns, they don’t eat beef or pork so it’s chicken or veg.

I've been to India a couple of times with work and had some really excellent seafood though no idea what type it was certainly wasn't cod! I don't eat much seafood here but over there it can be really fresh having just come out of the ocean that morning.

See this is what makes me laugh. Seafood is fresher over there as it’s just come out of the sea. I mean we live on a small island. Most decent places will sell day boat fish.
