That is Indian right? I eat alot of home cooked Indian food from my Punjabi neighbors. How was it?
It was glorious! Belly full now... wish I had some vodka cran to wash it down
Well Ill gladly barter some for some tikka.It was glorious! Belly full now... wish I had some vodka cran to wash it down
Do you guys want me to ruin your indian culinary experience?
Fuck it I will anyway
Outside of the UK you cant get a decent curry in the West, nearly all the chefs are male afghan refugees or Pakistani men who decided driving cabs wasnt for them. Very few indian restaurants have proper indian chefs and the food is also all Northern Indian and as a person of mixed indian heritage let me tell you most North Indians freely admit their food is shit compared to Southern food which is more spicy, uses fresher ingredients nd more variety.
It sucks that all the south Indians in the West are too busy writing really bad code and or too wealthy to bother with opening restaurants.
Other option is to make southern indian food yourself, dont be scared homies its not rocket science just looks that way haha
Love me some Tika tho

Are you drunk as well? You can cook at my house anytime. Im drunk lol.
Nah but working on it, I was being 100% serious too, North Indian (Western Indian "food") and South Indian (What Indians actually eat) are like night and day
Burp!
This isnt true bro. Ive posted pics of authentic Indian food many times here. If my Punjabi neighbors had their way I would eat 4 meals a day in the garage with them. I didnt really know male Indians cook. Around here the women do it. There is a alot of Sikh's around here. I will never go hungry, that is for sure.
I was talking about restaurants bro not your neighbors, of course they make authentic food haha
Hows the hangover?
I was fine lol. Im a professional. We do have good authentic Indian food around here as well. One of the best places ive been to for Indian food was a Himalayan restaurant called the Taste of India & Nepal in Ukiah Ca. It was different from the food I get around my home, but very similar, but different. The owners were a husband and wife that were both from Nepal. Great place.
What they do in indian restaurants is they have a number of sauces that they use to replicate the original dish, they start off with a base sauce which everything (meat) is cooked in then they add a different combination of sauces to replicate whatever dish youre after.
I dont know about Nepali food but if its Indian and a meat dish and isnt cooked and served on the bone its not authentic, again not sure about Nepali
Now days with many Indians living in the west they will sneak in an authentic dish for the Indian diners, look for "Jungli Murgi" on the menu, Jungli means from the jungle and muhrgi means chicken. Even the name they use isnt authentic, jungli muhrgi actually denotes to chicken that is raised wild or free range killed and cooked on the same day as opposed to store bought whole chicken chopped up, cooked and served "on the bone" which is what the restaurants serve.
Thats the test, lamb, beef, pork or chicken curries must be cooked on the bone otherwise its McCurry.
Not sure where youre at but we have family in Sacramento and they are always complaining about the lack of proper curry there, might be different in other parts of the US.
Your Punjabi neighbors, they give you much yogurt? those fuckers eat so much dairy...
We came to get dinner at Punjabi Sweets. Wife ordered Tikka and I got buttered chicken. We have been there alot of times but this time after waiting 10 min we decided to ask for take out. Our eyes did nothing but water the whole time we were inside. Im waiting in the car lol. I literally cant be inside, its like being gassed. Smells awesome!! Will show some pics in a bit. Im interested what youll say.
Tika = North Indian
Butter Chicken = McIndian if it was authentic it would be called gheed chicken lol
Hurry up with the pics bro cant wait to see some fine Punjabi grub
Now im ready for a nap.
Food coma time mang, looks good man love tika with mint sauce
Here's what an authentic curry looks like (not comparing with your tika totally different dishes)
@Sweat Tea what do you know about poppy tea? Neighbor brought it over again. Its gonna be a long night.
Never even heard of it, I should probably point out that Im from the Fiji Islands (Now living in Australia) and the curries there are heavily influenced by South Indian cooking due to similar climates and perceived superiority.@Sweat Tea what do you know about poppy tea? Neighbor brought it over again. Its gonna be a long night.
Where abouts do you live?
I see. My tax man is a Fiji Born Indian, or FBI as they refer to themselves. I work with many. Iam aware of the culture differences. I have enjoyed different curries in many countries. I live in In California, a few miles from the town of Delhi. The poppy tea is home brewed by my homie. Poppy as in the poppy flower. The Poppy flower seems to be a regular part of many of my friends diets.
Lies! I live in the arsehole of Ireland and I can get proper Indian in 35 minutes.
I said OUTSIDE OF THE UK haha well okay lets extend that to the arsehole of Ireland
Scots/Poms/Irishmen all complain about the curry here in Aus, some of my mates from the UK would turn up at my mum and dads place around dinner unannounced just to get a proper curry (which is no issue) but you guys are crazy for the stuff I think curry is now England's national dish yeah? I know Indians who get pissed off at that until I point out that if we took everything the UK has invented back off them theyd be back in the stone age haha
Wow we probably know some of the same people if you allow for a few degrees of separation. Ask your tax man for goat curry next tax season its the bomb or ask for some Fijian food, that shit will put some muscle on ya Ill PM you some names later to see if you know any, dont want to post them here and blow your anonymity
