have you tried any mine I call biryani

Palak Paneer
Chicken Tikka Masala
Naan

Her name was Meera, she was from Delhi. ;)

In my house it’s Butter chicken and Tikka Masala are the main ones - served with white rice and naan bread.

I made both on the weekend - never any leftovers.

Love indian food. Have to make at home and make substitutes of many ingredients to remove night shades and rice. Love the spicing.

Samosa & Masala Dosa

chicken curry

biryani

I prefer Chinese myself, just remember to debone them and cook for at least 20 mins plus 15 mins per kilo.

Enjoy leona

Rasam

Dal

I have never had Indian food.

Once, though, a neighbor from India made me a dish
that was so different I asked what the spice was
in it and she said turmeric which I had not
heard of at that point.

once had some but never got to get the name of the dish

I like a nice thick buffalo (bison) steak
A few ears of maise (corn on the cob)
A mug of steaming hot bear fat (rendered)
Baked potato
Peanut brittle
Apple pie
Elderberry wine
Popcorn
Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries and boysenberries
Radishes, turnips, rhubarb, celery
Cherries, peaches, plums
Gator sausage
pecans, walnuts, chestnuts, butternuts

Mutton Biryani & Butter Chicken.
Also any samosa except the corn ones and of course a roti instead of rice

My favourite is NO Indian food :)
I once had Indian made by an Indian woman when living abroad. Yellow rice with lots of peas through it. Can't remember what else. I didn't like the taste of any of the foods.

I remember going out to dinner in the UK with family and having to wait forever for something to eat.
In the UK it's Indian restaurant by default and these apparently don't serve anything else for the ones that don't want that.
Everyone was eating while I sat there waiting. I think they had to get fries from some chip shop on the other end of town.

Our Dutch equivalent is Chinese and/or Indonesian restaurants, and these serve fries and snacks as well for people that do not want Chinese/Indonesian.
The spices in Indonesian kitchen is what we are used to and those are quite different.

It just amazes me that there are still people, who can walk into a restaurant and presume they can actually order whatever they like .... just because the place is billed as a 'restaurant'!
Had a date , and took her to an Italian restaurant ... she looks for 'fish n chips'... Same date went for a Greek restaurant and was looking for "steak and kidney pie !!!...

O/T saffron rice with 'kofta' curry.... yum yummy... at the local Indian restaurant....called Bombay Palace!!

Seems you are replying indirectly to my post.
Maybe read properly: I went to dinner with a group and they chose to eat curry as that is the default in the UK. I cannot stomach curry so I didn't want to go there, but it was what everyone wanted so I had no choice.
Not like I go to a curry place and want to eat Greek.

As I said, over here it's normal that restaurants of specific cultural styles also have a more common dish for people who don't want to eat that Greek/Indian/Chinese/ etc. Typically that's fries with mayo and snacks that we Dutchies eat with fries like frikandel or kroket.

It would amaze me if you wanted to go out with spouse & kids to eat Indian and there was nothing to eat for the kids.
What would happen is the entire family leaving to eat elsewhere that does cater for all. And not just kids, also adults that don't like that style food.
Over here it'd be pretty absurd to not have fries & snacks next to the main style of food served.
You cannot assume that when you get groups in to dine that each person is going to like the cultural food. Not smart business, and to be honest quite rude.

over here we are totally multi cultural.... and we have every kind of eating establishment.... when it comes to ethnic foods .... we have every group represented ... if we go as a group to an Indian restaurant ... we are prepared to eat whatever passes as Indian cuisine.... other wise we find another kinda restaurant ...
i used to take my whole family to eat at a Chinese place, but we all ate the food .... and yeah! the kids ate what the parents ate .... no ifs and buts..... But I am guessing the restaurant business is kinda different to the kind we have in North America!!!
btw... not really replying to your post just another opinion....

I loved to read each one's favourites which made me remember while I cooked those dishes

OT Recently I tasted the Malabar mutton briyani from a particular Kerala restaurant in Chennai..im not sure if it can have the same flavour in other restaurants..it had a unique blend of spices with aromatic flavour while the pieces of mutton was tender n slow cooked. My son was asking me to do it for him at home, should learn the recipe
