What do you guys think about Indian food?
What do you normally associate with Indian food? Yes, chicken and curry comes to mind ... but this isn't the only type of Indian food out there - how many different styles of Indian food have you tried?
I personally am a beer and pizza (any country, so long as it's good Wink ) man, but I also love Tandoori food! And some South Indian dishes ...

Reply to this When i feel like going vegetarian, I crave for Indian food. I particularly like the lentils (dahl?) , samosas, okra curry as much as their bread (chapati, naan?) . I do not mind the spice too!
Reply to this I like vegetarian Indian food. I dont really associate different Indian food with different regions of India. As far as I could see there was pretty much the same available in the North of India as in the South when I was there.
There used to be a really nice Indian restaurant accross the street from where I live here in Munich, Germany. That also served the type of food I got on my visits to India.
Here is Europe Indian restaurants tend to be particularly expensive, so going to India where all those delicious things can be afforded every day even on a low budget is quite a treat.
Indian food: Well, there are so many dishes and snacks and deserts that it would be difficult to describe them all here. I particularly like creamy korma with potato dumplings(I forget what those are called in India), with freshly made hot stuffed naan bread. And I love those hand made Indian candies that are in the Chai shops and can be eaten with the chai or to taken away in a fancy box.
Reply to this India having varied regions has a lot of variety in food that changes from region to region. Up north, its easy to get roti, dal and chicken. While towards east is a lot of fish and rice and milk sweets. Central India would offer wheat and other grain breads along with vegetables cooked in curry. Southern India offers some amazing Dosa or Crepes and brown rice with homemade curd.
When I think of Indian food - its always Biryani and Gulab Jamun, my two all time fav's!
Reply to this I am off to India on Saturday. This thread is reminding me of what I can look forward to. 😊
Reply to this I love Ladoos, I am obsessed with them, and can eat them until I feel sick! Unfortunatly you cannot get them in about a 100 mile radius of where I now live, I have to go back down to London to get them. They are indian sweets, big sweet yellow balls, look a lit like playdough.
Dahl is also a big favourite of mine, dahl, rice, and spiced pototoes are my comfort food! My mother was anglo Indian, and spent the first 20 years of her life in Bombay before moving to England, so I grew up with a lot of Indian food, she cooked by far the best I have ever tasted, not been able to find any on par with hers since she died. Not been to India myself yet though.
Oh, and have a great time on your trip Mel!

Thanks you 😊
I think I had Ladoos when I was last in India a few months ago. Yeah, they are delicious. And there were lots of other great hand made sweets to choose from. There were special shops that sold them with chai. You can go into those shops and select which sweets you want at the counter and then they bring them to your table with the chai.
Reply to this Hi, i come from Malaysia. My country was famous with Indian food as well. Hot and spicy curry, chicken tandoori is famous as our country local food.
Almost every morning breakfast i will take the Indian food, dals with potato always is my first choice.
Reply to this I love, love, love Indian foods and have tried both Northern and Southern Indian (not actually in India, though I hope to some day). I am veg and love spicy food, so it's a perfect combo for me. When I am in a city for a while and getting a bit tired of the local food, I almost always seek out an Indian restaurant (when available).
Reply to this We have just spent 6 weeks in India and the food was a major feature. We were lucky to have some Indian friends set us up with their extended families in a few places particularly in Southern India and the food we had in their homes was a long way ahead of anything I had eaten in a restaurant back home in Australia.
My best was a dum aloo with paratha. I think it is a Kashmiri dish. I mainly came across it in the north.
Reply to this i cant stand any kind of remotely spicy food, is this gonna be a problem for me??
please help!
thanks - Dan.
Reply to this No, if you are traveling to India anytime, please specify each time that you want your food non-spicy. Insist on it 2-3 times while placing your order, you will get your food without spice.
However, I would suggest trying food with spices, it does add flavor to food - not hot food with chilies but cooked with Indian spices.
And anyway, now you have cuisines from world over available in India, so you can definitely opt for those.

You can ask for you food non spicey as Tanya suggest, and there are lots of things such as Kormas that are not spicey at all.
