Controversial Indian Food Opinion

[look out piano]

Did you know he worked in India? Being good mates and that

I had absolutely no idea Dennis, he's canny old, he's had an interesting life.

 

[OOOSH YEAH]

Edit: just seen that you've been haha

Wonder what Akhtar at home is like. Can I not remember you trying his box during lockdown?

He's done this thread a million times over. You already know this, you aren't stupid

Some of it is aye, some of its not

He's done this thread a million times over. You already know this, you aren't stupid

Of course I'm not, the dude just likes his weird stuff and has an opinion if something isn't to his taste.
If it makes him happy I'm all for it, he's not hurting anyone

Our daughter’s job takes her to Sri Lanka, Goa, Maldives. She always brings us back loads of authentic sauces and mixes/rubs. Makes having a fantastic curry fairly easy
She’s just brought me back a witch doctors remedy for arthritis. Haven’t tried it yet

It's decent when you get the real dishes not the boring shit you get over here (most of the time).

You should go to Opheem in Birmingham if you're ever there. Absoutley outstanding food.

Doesn't lay a glove on gymkhana

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.

Bone idle stereotype

Problem with Gymkhana is the waiting list,tried a few times to walk in but never a table.

OMG it's Dennis, fancy that

I would suggest most people here only know “British Indian” food. Things like Tikka Masala. Rice and chips. Poppadums and pickle tray.
That’s not real Indian food.
However, enough restaurants serve it and enough people go and buy it regularly to suggest that we like it.
Comparing it to other foods is just personal preference.

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.

Go to India and eat food there. Especially street food (be careful, only use busy vendors used by locals) Best you'll ever taste. Completely different to UK Indian food.
Was there backpacking for a month this January.
Best trip I've ever had

The worst curry I ever had in my life was in Delhi,been from the top of India to the bottom,best Indian food I have eaten was in London,but it wasn’t authentic Indian,it’s Indian slanted to the UK palate.

Love Indian food, as long as it’s not too hot. I don’t really like seafood so it’s not a concern I’ve ever had.
