If you get a chance for another birthday, try an Indian karahi dish. It's a famous thick spicy stew cooked in a karahi pot. I am now completely addicted to lamb karahi from my favorite Indian/Pakistan restaurant.
Roti is good with Indian curry.
Chapati...Some roads are longer than others. Good luck.
happy birthday 🎉🎁
You've got a new subscriber ❤
Happy birthday for you..
Indian guy has a beautiful smile ❤❤❤

Chapati 🤪
Eli , i love u👉🏾👈🏾😙
Bouw. The same thing happened to me in the czech republic. I got on the wrong train and wanted to go home. Been travelling with empty pockets. Fortunately a very Kind babicka gave me 2000 czech crowns. I ended up in freiburg in germany and one acting student let me sleep in his flat on the 12 th floor.
@@ElifromRussia hmm. I was very young . But me thought it was that easy to change directions like in Swiss miniature. Unfortunately i lost 5 hours on the journey, from then on it was an adventure to get home by changing local trains all the time. Deep bavarian accents i ve never heard before.....
Lot of love dear from Pakistan 🇵🇰💗, it is always nice to see you and happy happy birthday 🎉🎂
♥️♥️🇧🇷
Very beautiful

India is basically a continent with many countries in one. Communities, cultures, cuisines change after every 100 mile. There are 28 states a handful of Union Territories and each state will offer you atleast 2-3 cuisines. So I hope you get the picture of how diverse India actually is. Also there is no such thing as an Indian cuisine but a list of cuisines from India.
And there is no such thing as curry spice in India. Curry basically translates to a sauce or gravy cooked with different spices and which spices are cooked together, defines the curry. Barbequed and fried items are not curries unless a sauce or gravy is added to the dish.
The north indian curries are dairy based whereas the south indian curries are coconut based.
You will also find plenty of cuisines to try from various regions in India. When you order Indian food ask the restaurant folks which cuisine does the dish you ordered belong to or which state. Or you could just cook it yourself too.
The more popular cuisines outside India are -
Mughlai cuisine - (North Indian) dishes eg Mughlai chicken, Changezi, Nihari, Mughlai Paratha, Haleem, Keema, Pulao, Kadai, Pasanda, Rogan Gosh, Mughlai biryani,etc
Punjabi cuisine - (North Indian) eg Tandoori Chicken, Butter Chicken, Tikka Masala, Sarson ka Saag, Rajma chawal, Palak Paneer, Amritsi Kulcha, Chole Bhature, Chana Masala, Dal Makhani, Naan, Bhatura etc
Tamil cuisine - (South Indian) eg Dosa, Idli, Uttapam, Vada, Chettinad Chicken, Chicken 65, Sambar, Pongal, Payasam, Upma, Ambur Biryani etc
Malyalee/Kerela cuisine - (South Indian) eg Prawns in coconut gravy, karimeen fish, Beef Masala fry, Puttu, Appam, Idiyappam, Fish Molee, Thalassery Biryani, Banana chips etc
Awadhi cuisine - (North Indian) eg Musallam, do Pyaaza, Korma, Galouti Kebabs, Malai kofta, Rumali roti, Chaat, Aloo gobhi, Gulab Jamun, Badami Chicken, Lucknowi biryani etc
Bengali cuisine- (East Indian) eg Fish in Mustard gravy, Mutton Kosha and Chaap, Mishti Doi, Prawn Malaikari, Bhapa Ilish, Muri Ghonto,Aloo Poshto, Luchi, sandesh, rasogulla, Jhal Muri, Kolkata Biryani etc
Goanese cuisine- (West Indian) eg Vindaloo, Xacuti, Cafreal, Sorpotel, Bebinca, Dangar, etc
Gujrati cuisine - (West Indian) eg Dhokla, Khandhvi, Khakra, Shrikhand, Kadhi, Thepla, etc
Marathi cuisine - (West Indian) eg Pav Bhaji, Misal Pav, Vada Pav, Chicken Kolhapuri, Batata Vada, Modak, Bhakarvadi, etc
Andhra cuisine (South Indian) - Pulihora, Pootharerkulu, Ulava Chaaru
Indo-chinese - Chowmein, momos, manchurian chicken/pork, sweet & sour pork, chilly chicken/pork, springrolls, Szechwan, etc
If you find any other cuisine other than these, then it's an added bonus.
Dishes from my community are exotic and you won't find them in Indian cities, except places which are within 100miles from where I am. That is again how diverse India is.
Indian food is definitely spicy, as in a whole gamut of spices are used as ingredients while preparing the dishes, hence it's very flavorful. But that does not mean every dish packs in heat. Only dishes which have a significant amount of chilly peppers will be hot. Infact some dishes are even on the sweeter side because of the use of dairy products and dried fruits.
A typical Indian meal is eaten in a thali. A thali refers to the plate that a thali meal may be served on. The idea behind a thali is to offer all the 6 different flavours of sweet, salt, bitter, sour, astringent and spicy on one single plate. According to Indian food custom, a proper meal should be a perfect balance of all these six flavours.
So a typical normal Indian thali would consist of the following-
1. Rice
2. Flat bread
3. Lentil soup (dal)
4. Appetizer ( papad/Papadum)
5. Fried vegetable
6. Vegetable cooked in a gravy sauce
7. Fresh salad vegetable
8. Choice of Meat (chicken/mutton/fish)
9. Curd
10. Pickles / chutneys
11. Sweet dish
Dishes served in a thali vary from region to region and cuisine to cuisine in the Indian subcontinent and are usually served in small bowls, called katori in India. These katoris are placed along the edge of the round tray, the actual thali. Sometimes a steel tray with multiple compartments is also used.
The number of dish items may increase if you are inviting a guest home. But in some restaurants, people go overboard with the thali concept, where, each thali consist of 40-50 dishes. You can search for-
Dara Singh thali
Bahubali thali
Big Boss Thali
Ravan Thali
to get an idea of what I mean.
Here are some Thalis from different states -
food-ndtv-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/food.ndtv.com/food-drinks/13-grand-indian-thalis-you-need-to-try-at-least-once-in-your-life-1758079?amp_js_v=a6&_gsa=1&=1&akamai-rum=off#referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&_tf=From%20%251%24s&share=https%3A%2F%2Ffood.ndtv.com%2Ffood-drinks%2F13-grand-indian-thalis-you-need-to-try-at-least-once-in-your-life-1758079
The most important thing about Thalis is their unlimited refills concept.
Here are some tips on eating Indian food -
1. Start off with starters like a kebab or tandoori platter usually served with tamarind sauce, mint or yoghurt sauce.
2. Next we then have the flat bread (roti, chapati, naan, puri, paratha, kulcha, bhatura) with some of the side dishes, either vegetarian or non vegetarian curry aka gravy aka sauce. You tear the bread and scoop out the meat along with sauce/gravy/curry. The warmer the bread the more the flavors and less chewy.
3. Then we take the rice into the plate and have it with the lentils or veg/meat sauce/gravy/curry and clean it all up. The hotter the rice, the more chance your mouth will get burnt.
And If you having the biryani rice, you take it with a salan gravy and a raita based yoghurt dip. And it's a complete meal on its own. There are 20+ varieties of biryanis depending on which community is cooking it and the region from where it's from. And many will argue that vegetable Biryani is not a biryani.
4. Finally finish off with a sweet desert either gulab jamun, rasogulla, kheer, payasam, barfi, sandesh etc
We don't scoop out the bread and rice and the sauces/gravy/ curries together at the same time.
Also many people eat samosas in their meals on TH-cam but then Samosas are usually eaten as a snack during tea time.
Also some people have just the bread or rice along with the side dishes as eating both bread and rice at the same time can be too heavy in a single meal.
If I may suggest , perhaps if you do want to try out food from India, you can choose, if possible, one cuisine, say Punjabi or Mughlai, grab 3-4 items from that cuisines and have it. Then try another cuisine for the next round.
Love to see you try cooking out another Indian meal again soon.😊
Happy Birthday ❤️
@Fire Starter
Ah yeah. I kinda missed that. Jalfrezi is Mughlai if I'm not wrong. Bhuna I'm not sure.
If you are vegetarian then I guess Indian offers you a wide range of flavors and dishes.
