I love Subcontinental cuisine—vindaloo, chicken or beef jalfrazi, dal makhani, seafood tikka masala, nihari—you name it—best washed down with a good Indian beer such as Kingfisher.
Joe Biden was overheard saying “You can’t knock a vulture off a meat wagon without Indian spice.”
My favorite ethnic cuisine, also sadly, the only type of food I’m completely unable to make myself.
I count more than 60 spices used in Indian cuisine here:

It might be better if they had more beef dishes...just sayin.
There is no spice called ‘curry’. The ‘curry powder’ you buy in the supermarket is just a collection of spices that might be found in some particular curry.
In India when you buy spice you could be buying brick dust instead ,LOL
Do they cross-pollinate?
I cannot stand Indian food. Awful.
Sherlock Holmes said that in Terror by Night 1946 ,LOL
I loooove Indian food. I’ll be happy to eat the author’s share.

For the life of me i can not guess what spice it is...🤡

Jewish name...they don’t like Indians because Indian kids now are running circles around Jewish children, who are pretty much all to busy being ‘outraged’ and ‘woke’, to study.
I agree with him. Unless you like currie flavoring; Indian food is not very good.
I’m not a picky eater and don’t care for it at all.
My understanding is that there are regional and family recipes for curry, which serve as a base for the spice palate used in a household. This base is usually kept as a large batch for use in cooking. Is this incorrect?
Butter chicken, tikka masala chicken, my list goes on. Hearth-baked garlic tandoori bread, ginger-coconut rice..........love it all.
I used to despise Indian food. I started liking it in Kabul. The food at the cheap transit hotels in Delhi was even better. I would look forward to the meals on Air India. Here in the states... only eat it at an expensive restaurant in the Chicago suburbs, and it’s not as good as the real stuff.
