>>8937032
In with you bro. White britbong here and Indian food is miles above everything else. Sure other cuisines have great dishes but virtually all Indian food tastes fucking orgasmic.

Memes aside, Indian food is fucking delicious. I'm always going to have a sweet spot for Italian food but there's a serious case to be made for Indian cooking.

mostly vegetarian, about strictly no-beef.

Pretty good results given the severe limitations on primary ingredients.

I'm making a green lentil curry tonight. Indian food is amazing on a budget.

>>8937089
All great cuisines are borne out of limitations. You just have to play this the strength of the ingredients you do have. That's why indian does spices and aromatics well and German does sausage well.

As much as I would like to say my ethnic cuisine is the best, I have to say Indian food is superior to all other cuisine.

Same as most of Northern Europe: fairly cold climate with a short growing season. That means a relatively limited selection of herbs and spices.

>>8937486
Part of the reason people think Indian cuisine doesn't have the best presentation is because restaurants tend to do large portions of curries and rice presumably meant to be shared. Traditionally food is never shared off the table in India (except of course at home) and you have multiple small portions served together in a thali. Even a humble home cooked meal will have a dal, a vegetable dish, a raita or plain yogurt with a pickle. Sometimes with both rice and rotis.

That kind of presentation works for Indian food and I wish restaurants did that rather than the almost middle eastern style of big portions which are plopped on to the plate by customers.

Pic related is a thali that would be served in a restaurant.

This is the first one I ever tried. It's fairly easy and tastes great.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/tarkadal_90055

>>8937715
If you like intense flavors and the dal to not be mushy (al dente is too strong a word for it, you need it to be cooked through but not falling apart) go with >>8937805

If you want something smoother and with more mellow flavors go with
https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1014366-chana-dal-new-delhi-style
Although I disagree with using peanut oil for the tarka. Use ghee and if you like a little bit of heat add red chilly powder to the tarka after switching off the flame and immediately before putting it in the dal. You want the oil to take on the color and flavor of the chilli without it burning.

>>8937681
Thali is nice but I don't mind the giant Amerifat portion way of doing it either. That's how Chinese food is done, big family style portions on a lazy susan and it's great.

I like indian food very much, its a shame I don't know of any indian restaurants despite having a very large indian community in the next town over. They are very secretive though and keep to themselves

the only frozen dinners I buy are indian so I can have foods I otherwise am unable to try.

I'm always impressed at how some of these dishes can be so creamy despite not containing dairy

>>8937845
I wouldn't call it the Amerifat way. It's also the New Delhi restaurant way which spread to most of north India and consequently the world. My belief is that the tradition started post-partition when a ton of Punjabi refugees came to Delhi and didn't have kitchens so would eat at roadside restaurants. These restaurants would obviously not do 6 dishes immaculately arranged in little bowls when they had to feed 100s of people every hour. So they would serve large portions. People probably got used to these and it evolved into the current style.

When you've been out drinking with friends and want to eat some Indian the big pot is the way to go. I just don't think it does any favors in highlighting the sophistication of Indian cuisine.

I will say that Indian food is one of the best if you're either really low on cash or want to go vegetarian for a while.

>>8939414
is this that post-ironic thing I keep reading about?

>>8941120
Yeah just mix a little poo into your next batch of curry and it seasons the dish a bit

>>8941657
Fuck off, summerfag.

Veggie korma is my shit. I am just getting the hang of it. It's missing something still though, I use roasted cashews, roasted almonds for the paste, pineapple, those kumato meme tomatoes for the curry (they're the same price as regular ones where I go), frozen mixed veggies, cloves, fenugreek seeds, coriander seeds, and one serrano chile. I can't find fenugreek leaves anywhere.

>>8941684
A korma by definition contains cream or yoghurt, anon.

>>8941689
Yea all the important stuff is in there too, coconut cream, vidalia onions, garam masala, etc. I even throw in a little maple syrup.

Is Indian food from India or is it from the Indians in America? Like the native Americans?..

>>8941710
>from India
That.

Native American cuisine is extraordinarily rare in the culinary scene.

Indian curry is the best
absolutely nothing can top it

It is harder to make than Wendy's, taco Bell or ramen so I guess that explains why this board hates it so.

>>8941738
It's cause we took all their ingredients and made it part of our cuisine so their's not much new Native American cuisine can offer at least in the US

>>8942431
I think corn should at least count, they domesticated it.

>>8942431
It's more like they were too busy obtaining food, shelter and clothing to care very much how it was seasoned. That's like saying, gee whiz, I wonder why we don't have any paleolithic man recipes. They had roasted and stewed meats and vegetables, flatbreads, dried and smoked meats and dried fruits. They used wild herbs like sage, sorrel, etc.

I made garlic chili oil today and holy shit. Way too spicy, I used fresh serrano seeds on top of red pepper flakes. Cloves, fenugreek, peppercorns, I can barely eat this.

>>8942482
Yeah, but corn is an ingredient, not a dish.

I suppose that things like tortillas (the Mexican type) are technically Native American, but AFIK that's more central American than it is "American Indian" like most people think of when discussing the term "Native American".

I've tried making a lot of different kinds of Indian dishes over the years. Both western restaurant style dishes as well as "authentic" Indian ones. However almost none of them turn out as tasty as some of the Indian restaurant dishes I've had.

Sometimes it feels like they're lacking richness, but that might just be that they use more yogurt, cream, butter or ghee than I do, but often it's less distinct. As if my dishes are just lucking something fundamental. Perhaps I'm just fucking terrible at making Indian food.

>>8942491
*referring to North American native americans, not mesoamerica or south america.

>>8942491
That's what I'm trying to say though.
We ended up taking sage, corn, tomatoes etc and started making them part of our culinary culture like cornbread grits spaghetti smoked salmon or an even more recent addition buffalo. Not saying they didn't have their own type of food it's that we took their food and claimed it as ours

You're talking about ingredients, not dishes.

Well, you guys convinced me. Definitely gonna get some Indian this weekend after payday.

Used to work in an Indian restaurant. It was a horrible experience (an Indian restaurant where the owners were an Indian chef and his Jewish wife. Stereotypes are true, I had to fight to get my paychecks) but the food was fucking spectacular.

I'm only really a fan of Madras curry, don't like the taste of much else. Maybe it's because i've only tried store bought but I thought Tikka Masala stuff was awful.

>>8941091
It's because its too glossy and smooth. Curries made at home are usually chunkier cause who'll go through the trouble of blending and straining the onion-tomato grave before adding the meat and/or veg.

>>8937032
if it's the best food why does it make them all smell like shit?

>>8937352

i agree, indian food just proves that complex spice mixtures do wonders. had my first authentic indian curry in japan where an indian guy had this small business at the train station. sounds bad i know but its norm over there to have good food in weird areas. i digress. it was amazing.

>>8944358
Looks like you're doing a good job then. Keep at it.

Once you get bored of restaurant style Indian I'd suggest trying dishes that are more rustic and only use a few spices. One of my favorites is kadhai paneer. Before starting dry roast some coriander seeds and dried red chillies. Coarsely grind and set aside. Cut bell peppers and onions into big cubes. In a hot wok add grated ginger, garlic and cumin seeds. Before the garlic starts to brown add have the spice powder and immediately after add tomato puree. Let the tomato cook a bit and add the peppers and onion. Cook them to the point where they've still got a bit of crunch to them but are cooked. Turn off the flame and add cubed paneer. Taste for salt. Finish with the rest of the spice mixture and cilantro. Optional: finish with a knob of butter or some cream.

This dish and similar dishes with one or two spices really helped me understand what each spice brings to the dish.

Plenty of subtle dishes if you go beyond the regular fare. Stuff like Yakhani pulao or any awadhi dish for that matter can be very subtle.

I don't even know where the texture complaint is coming from. Have you only had meats in gravy with naan? You have everything from crispy to buttery. It uses everything from lotus stems to liver. You have breads that range from pillowy soft to crumbly and made out of millet flour. And appetizers even in the most whitebread Indian restaurant have plenty of texture.
