I'm addicted to indian food help
Mango chicken yum
Nan bread delicious
I wrote a poem about this
I luv my indian
Truly flavorsome
Is indian popular where you live?

yeah it is. But most times it does not taste Indian, it is a fusion of palates.

That's a pity, when in Sydney we can
go to a night of Indian and poetry,
I guess the food has been commercialized

Ilan - i'm in the negev desert, israel - and Indian food is not an option - although there are a few places in Tel Aviv.

But - my son is about to head out to Sydney - where is the Indian food/poetry place? perfect timing - let me know!

judih

Ooops I meant poetry at my home
Indian at the restaurant.
I admit poetry at indian sound yummy

yes - Open mic night at Indian restaurant - could be divine
(but what language?) (perhaps multi-cultural)

I frequently eat at Bombay Bowl in Denver. It is a fast yet still authentic food place with all the goodies. We have quite a few high end traditional restaurants, as well as many other kinds of ethnic food. I do have a sock monkey hat I wear when playing the guitar from the Nepal shop. Ilan you should immerse yourself in the Nava Rasa. I did and it's made my writing way better.

That's a lovely idea might try it,
Did you have a Teacher?
I've been mostly immersed in raja yoga
And buddism myself, i do enjoy Hindi traditions
and think your idea is a good one

My wife is Indian and we eat heaps of Indian food. Mostly at home, and mostly I cook it. There are also several Indian restaurants near us and most have takeaway menus as well.

I am keen on tandoori and curries of all kinds excepting vindaloo. Also the vegetarian food of South India, including all dhals and masala dosas and rajma.

Papads are excellent snacks, and bhuja mixes. Indian sweets are very good too, especially gulab jamun, but they are very difficult to make unless you have been trained! An ordinary Indian cook cannot make Indian sweets.

Ah papadum
Yummm
Thanks Rory
I am looking for Indian wife....

Self taught on the Rasa's but anna9 and Mamta were great helpers on that journey as well. If you do pursue that I will be curious to see if Shanta for it's purpose has you writing in rhyme. I wrote my first efforts on the other eight as Free Verse non-rhyming but could not do that with the last.

my husband would love it if it were, but I never thought about it before reading your missive. We have tons of restaurants in this little town of all ethnic groups, but not a single Indian one that I can recall. Hmmmm.... maybe a bit too spicy for the southern taste.

It's only as spicy as you want it to be. Bombay Bowl has four different sauces and only one is hot. It's more about the fragrance of the meal itself.

ah yes, I remember the "fragrance". Husband number 2 had to work out of NY when we were living in State College, PA and used a company apartment. The people across from him were from India and the horrible smells of the food she cooked permeated his apartment! Not sure what she was cooking but it was nothing I would want to eat . Have never been in and Indian restaurant so have no idea if she was just a horrible cook, or if all Indian food smells that bad. lol!

Sounds like she was a horrible cook. The other day I was in an Asian food market and the smell from the fresh fish and some unpackaged spices made a funky smell that was hard to pinpoint or believe. There are a variety of curries that you can make some are easy and some are complex, maybe she was making them even more complex than they needed to be or burning them. My wife likes the Naan bread, but that's it for fast food Indian, she will eat more at the restaurants.

I saw this older post and had to declare my undying love for chicken vindaloo..that is all

oh z_bub, me toooooooooooo! there are some wonderful Indian restaurants in the Portland/Vancouver metro area here, up in Seattle as well...i love it all!

Just this past year a small take out place popped up nearby. They always give my kids free mango drinks when I order.

nice! i've tried and tried and tried to make a good curry but to no avail...guess i'm only meant to eat it in a restaurant.

hahaha leave it to the professionals? The food is all about those spices, I swear..
If this place closes I'm in trouble. The most exotic cuisine we have here is pizza with extra cheese.

I use to eat a lot of hot Indian dishes when I was younger especially hot ones. Though my taste has changed as I have got older and much prefer the more subtle tastes now. I love a good korma

I did notice a lot of cheese and dairy in their dishes. I'll put it on my list of "must try".

I absolutely adore Indian food. I live in a college town, so we have a couple of Indian food places. I love how vegetarian friendly a lot of the dishes are. If there is a strange bowl of fennel and other spices by the door it's meant to cleanse the palette. And it's horrible. Haha Malai kofta, Palak paneer, and of course naan! They make pumped up naan too that has veggies in it. I'm getting hungry!

ooh, I tried the potato stuffed naan. It was soooo good!
