Generally, home cooked indian food is not really that hot. They make it more spicy and oily in restaurants. |
Really? Is that regional? One of my friends is from india and every time he has home cooked food it is spicy as all hell. He always talks about how food isn't spicy enough anywhere here, and how it is so much more rediculous in india. |

I love it. There are many different styles depending on the area the dish comes from, pretty much the same for most countries.
My student life meals simply rotated between indian, chinese and italian, the one great thing about British food/cuisine is that it seems we have incorporated and assimilated most foods, nothing beats a curry though after a night out! |

Some indian food is SO DISGUSTING, but some of it is great. I had some stuff called Peshwari(?) non, and it was amazing. |

My knowledge of the West is limited, but some of the best Indian food outside of India can also be found in:
- Singapore
- Malaysia (Penang, Genting, KL)
- Thailand (Bangkok)
Malay and South Indian cuisine over the centuries, hybridized to result in a very unique flavor that can only be found in Malaysia / Singapore.
Honestly, the best indian meal that I've ever had outside of home cooked food was at this hole-in-the-wall restaurant in Bangkok.
Predictably, I've become very accustomed to Thai food due to my long stay here and every time I eat Indian food, atleast 4 trips to the ter in a day are inevitable.
These days for me, Mexican food ftw :) |

Its true.. worked in thailand for more than a year and there are a lot of indians over there.
Which part of bangkok is that restaurant? I have to go back in august.. Honestly the indian food over there cant beat the ones I had over in Singapore.. the best place to go to was this places somewhere near khao san..but even then its pretty expensive even for expats. |

This is completely untrue. They make the restaurant stuff more bland so that people will actually eat it. And have you ever eaten with Indians? It knocked my socks off and she supposedly had made it less spicey because I had come to dinner! :p |
