    When I lived in India, for the first 2 years I stayed there, I got food poisoning every few weeks. Every time I ate out or ate snacks, I got sick. It got so bad that eventually I grew numb to puking, I didn't feel nauseous anymore, when I got sick, I would just puke like it was a normal everyday occurrence. After 2 years, my immune system caught up and I could enjoy Indian Street food properly. good times indeed.

      @Eric Pratt don't ever try street food. You will NOT survive it. It's been documented. Indians have a different intestinal Flora than Americans . We don't get sick from certain E Coli strains as easily as some in the west do. Which is one reason is food is contaminated , it will remain so since most Indians won't have an issue and hence customer base won't go down.
      Always have an Indian host. They will know what to get you.

    Nice! I've never done a hotpot in my rice cooker, but I have cooked other things like lentils in chicken broth with onions, meat and spices. Rice cookers are quite versatile. If you have a steam basket, you can do great soft cooked eggs for ramen too! 😉😋

    Frozen tofu is amazing! My son has wanted to try hot pot, and I was struggling because I had no way to have a pot at the table.... until I saw the thumbnail and realized 'oh geez....i have an instant pot.'
    So I can't wait to see how you do this! I want to let my child have an experience that might make our own home cooking more fun!

    Greetings From India... My Name is Eddie Ashley from Bangalore, Karnataka... Really Sorry about the treacherous experience you went through in Hyderabad, what Ashu offered you is Called "Ugadi Panchami" ... It's a drink made of Green mango, neem florets, red chilli, Jaggery and couple of other ingredients... Well one reason could be of the neem florets or the pot that it's stored in... Generally the drink is a very very healthy. If it was just you and not the whole crew then it's just that your digestive system didn't like it. I hope this one exp doesn't change your opinion about our country. We love to embrace you to our county with open arms... The next time your here may be good...
