Each region has a completely different cuisine, and a all of them have good foods, many of which are not curries (though most are).

Here is a traditional meal of the muslims and christians of the southern state of kerala.

The wiki articles on indian food are well written, take a look.

Its not that popular in India, even in the regions where it actually is a traditional meal (which are less than 10% of india)

are people here familiar with indian food outside of punjabi food?

>>5463139
you're an idiot

its rather taboo in indian cooking to use food coloring. for red we use kashmiri pepper or a few other kinds of peppers, for example.

>>5464372
only north indian cooking is dairy-heavy

>>5434210
as expected i guess
you've had it? are you indian?

how do you even know what bhang lassi is?
also, its mostly a hindu thing. never had it myself, i am curious what its like though.

Some parts of india are pretty cool, but i come from a really hot area and we still do this, lol.

i think its because you don't want to be jarred so much from enjoying the food. after eating, an ice-cold lassi, faluda or dugh is common.

>>5434051
-_- is this an indian thing? what about preferring room temperature water for meals?

i don't actually like this much, but everyone else seems to love it.

when we eat it raw we put salt and red chili powder on it. what do filips do?

In India we make all sorts of savory stuff with green mango. curries, pickled in red chilies, dipped in yogurt-chili mix and dried, etc.

also green mango dugh is based.

i'll make an indian food thread one of these days to actually answer questions.

>>5433941
also most ingredients can be found at indian markets, and there are a lot of them, although once you make the investment in all the required spices and learn what they all do (there's like 10 'base' ingredients used really often and a few dozen others that show up now and then), its not so bad. maybe easiest way is to find an indian person and help them cook, and borrow spices :)

>>5433920
there are many different indian cuisines, and knowing them all is like knowing all european cuisine. but guys like

indian food is pretty different from western food in its style of preparation - lots of toasting, grinding, sauteing of spices to change/bring out their taste, and is a lot of work - in india we usually have servants to help us.

honestly i have been cooking since i was a child, and been trained by my mom, and i basically only mastered my ethnic cuisine. a lot of the difficulty comes from the ingredients changing, the languages changing and the fact that most indians learn from parents.

> dozens of totally different regional cuisines
> richest kingdoms in the history of man, along with abundant spices, leading to the early development of royal and court cuisines
> laid back lifestyles that put good food as a priority in both home and ceremonial meals
> crossroads of many external cultures, persian, turkic, arab, sino-tibetan
> popular in any region of the world settled by indians, even thousands of years ago (indonesia, thailand)
> considered along with chinese turkish and french to be some of the most developed and nuanced foods on earth
what kind of question is this?

the smaller ones seem to be less watery, like a more flavorful and tart orange. but they basically have the same flavor as orange, just stronger.

>>5433695
had them all the time as a kid, fairly common fruit where i'm from. not that great to be honest.

>>5433724
they taste like normal oranges. this is the best orange though
