i have and i still prefer french.

>>18640640
That’s cool, I still prefer Italian to Indian, but that doesn’t mean I don’t also really love Indian food.

>>18640646
but how can you say it is the greatest when you just said you prefer italian over indian.

>>18640650
I said it’s one of the greatest cuisines in the world. Do you understand what that means?

>>18640654
I think you are an esl.
the word greatest means it is not to be surpassed. This means your sentence is nonsensical because you can not have multiple greatest.

Good morning sirs

Listen, kid. You're on 4chan. We are a lot of resentful incels. A lot of us are white supremacists. We get a kick out of calling Indian food 'slop' or 'diarrhea' because we detest foreigners and anyone different from us. A lot of us don't have a lot going for us in real life, so we come to 4chan to vent our frustrations and make ourselves feel better momentarily by validating each other in how superior we are to, say, women or nonwhites, which gives a fleeting sense of self-worth that is otherwise hard to come by for people like us.
Part of our attempt to achieve this reprieve is by being racist to Indians (you're not special, we're racist against anyone who is different from us) and that includes berating your food. Don't take it personal, it's just our kind of support group therapy where we pat each other on our backs to forget for a brief few seconds that we are unloved and unloveable. That's what 4chan is. It was always this way. So participate in board culture, or learn to live with it. We will not change. 4chan isn't going to turn into a board of fulfilled and non-resentful social beings, it's the home of anti-social incels who need a space to vent their impotent frustration. Deal with it.

why do I need 4Chan when I got alcohol?

>>18640669
Haha what a projection. As I said in my post I’m a Bong. Let me break this down for you since you’re clearly retarded:
>In English, when you say something is “one of”, it means they are one of a group. For example, Harry Kane is ONE OF the English football players, /ck/ is ONE OF the boards on 4chan. Are you still following?
>It is common in English to use ‘the greatest’ to describe multiple things. For example: Some of the greatest bands of the 20th century include The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and Velvet Underground; Here are some of The Beatles greatest hits - Hey Jude, Yesterday, All You Need Is Love
Now let’s add all that together shall we? To me, the greatest works cuisines include Italian, Indian, and Japanese. Therefore, in my opinion, Indian food is ONE OF the greatest world cuisines. Now that we’ve established the depths of your retardation, can we please get back to actually talking about food?

>>18640636
my friend tells me that gujurati cuisine is the worst is he right

>>18640694
Wtf are you saying...I had to stop Rubbin the Weanus for a min just to try understand this post. FAIL!!!!!

>>18640698
Not sure, never went to Gujurat myself, mostly spent time in Mumbai, Goa, Kerala, Rajasthan, the Punjab, Uttarakhand, and Uttar Pradesh. Northern and Southern Indian cuisines are as different as Italian food is to British food. I love both but I’ve got to say my favourite is Keralan food. Luv me a Masala Dosa. That said, all regions I’ve been to have very tasty food.

Goods Mornings

>>18640694
I understand your idea. The proper way to get you idea across is to say it is “one of the great" not "one of the greatest". the second statement is nonsense in this context. you are saying there are multiple greatest of an object in one class of objects. in this case you reference the class of objects called cuisines. the proper use of the clause "one of the greatest" is to refer to multiple different classes of objects. As an example, one of the greatest alcohols is Kentucky Bourbon. Alcohols make it clear there are multiple classes of objects, and Kentucky Bourbon is the greatest of Bourbons.

>>18640737
Do you think this album has one track on it anon? You’re just embarrassing yourself now, please do continue, it’s really funny

>>18640650
It’ll never cease to amaze me how utterly confident and utterly wrong some people can be. Anyway good thread OP, I love a good Biryani.

>>18640636
Fuck I love South Indian food so much, it’s just so great there’s nothing else like it

>>18640737
This might just be the most retarded thing I’ve read on here this week. Well done anon never change

>>18640743
you do realise hits is a plural. so it makes logical sense. as they are divided the songs by albums and singles and the greatest of those are complied together.

>>18640765
Read the original post.
>One of the greatest CUISINES
Oh no ESL the whole board is calling you a retard!

>>18640758
such a worthless post

>>18640765
>>18640768
It’s true you are definitely a retard

>>18640636
What state does the greatest Indian food /ck/? For me it’s got to be Sikkim. Love momos, love millet beer, love hearty mountain food.

>>18640768
>>18640773
yes but his statement says it is "one of the greatest cuisines in the world" which would reference a list of greatest cuisine. This by definition is a list of one. In my example statement where is one of the greatest alcohols is Kentucky Bourbon. this reference a list of greatest alcohols which is not a list of one e.g. Kentucky Bourbon, Bacardi 151 rum, Jefferson's rye whiskey, grey goose vodka, everclear moonshine.

>>18640654
it means you need to have your taste buds examined

>>18640809
See this is the kind of /ck/ shit talk I can get behind. Just going to ignore the ESL retard from now on, he’s clearly gone wrong in the brain. What don’t you like about Indian food friend?

Anyone have a good website with original recipes? Down to spice mixes, I'm not interested in anything listing 'garam masala' as an ingredient.

>>18640636
Indian food is pretty mid. Not even top 10.

>>18640737
Is this nigga gaslighting or just retarded?

>>18640769
Nah, that post had a point, yours is infinitely more worthless, maybe if you weren't such a vapid and bitchy cunt you might be a little more accomplished in your life.

>>18640823
Garam Masala is traditionally used in Indian cooking though, most authentic recipe sites will use it.

>>18640824
What Indian food have you tried anon?

>>18640640
BENCHODE BASTARD FUCK BITCH BLOODY

>>18640844
Meh.. Garam masala just means 'spice mix'. There are variations (regional and otherwise) what actually goes in there. I got different spice mixes with different dishes even at the takeout down the road. So garam masala in a recipe list very much suggests a low effort westernized dish.

>>18640872
You’re right and wrong all at once. It absolutely does mean spice mix and there are variations between them, but it’s also a spice mix that you’ll find in every Indian kitchen, with many families/restaurants often making it themselves and having their own blend, and it will absolutely appear in authentic Indian recipes as a result.

>>18640880
a good recipe will say what the garam masala is made of though

>>18640880
I don't care if it appears in authentic recipes. If a recipe doesn't list the ingredients it's crap and not worth my time.

>>18640893
If a recipe called for mayonnaise or veal stock would you expect it to break down the ingredients?

>>18640929
Have you always been this stupid or did you have to work for it? Lurk moar dumbass

>>18641064
No I’m serious anon - there are plenty of dishes that call for veal stock, and each stock recipe varies slightly from the last. Do you only follow recipes where they tell you exactly how to make your stock?

>>18641073
I'm serious too. Do you even cook?

>>18640888
A good western recipe will but an indian recipe will just assume you're across it.

>>18641091
Hah!

>>18641089
All the time anon. Look - here are two recipes from two different cooking websites by Indians that I found in a very quick Google search, both with Garam Masala in their ingredients. It’s such a weird hill for you to die on considering how easy it is to prove wrong, just take the L and move on.

>>18640636
Is this one-dish curry house a Brit thing? In the U.S. the thing most Indian restaurants do is lunch buffets, where they'll usually have cheap-but-good samples of most of the dishes you list. It's a good way to get into Indian food for a lot of people, since you can kind of ease into the spices a little at a time.

Of course when you're a poorfag it's also great since you can feed yourself well for 3 days on one visit to those buffets -- they seriously lowball the price. After a couple of full plates it'll just be 60 hours of crackers, an apple, and water for me until it all digests.

>>18641173
Most British places aren’t buffets, more you sit down and order a bunch of curries to the table. Despite how much we Bongs go on about how good the curry is here, there’s still a lot of very crap anglicised places, you really have to know where to look in order to get decent Indian food. It is easy enough to find, but I’ve been to a few places where it’s been awful (never go for a curry on Brick Lane no matter how many Londoners tell you to). Best bet is to go somewhere where there’s lots of Indian immigrants living, like Southall in London, where they actually cook food that Indian people would eat.

>>18641264
Apparently like 99% of the curry houses here founded by dudes from one city in Bangladesh.

>>18641377
In Britain yes. Bangladeshis know as much about Indian food as French people know about Spanish food.

I can't be adventurous with indian food and some middle eastern foods because I'm allergic to nuts and they always seem to have ground up pistachios or something in sauces.

At first, I was gonna say Mexican, Italian or Chinese but each of them have loudmouths who will scream at Anglos and other no-cookniks about their culinary heritage but the various cuisines of India and the rest of the subcontinent lack such people for some reason.
IMO, Keralan/Malayali (Malayalam?) cuisine, in particular, really needs someone to champion it. There are practically no restaurants serving their stuff abroad and what few restos that have a dish or two from that part of India on the menu generally kinda ruin it. So yes, OP, you are correct and, for once, not a faggot.

>>18641440
Yowza, that sucks. Yeah, my grandmother would definitely have killed you if she cooked you just about anything that's meant for a festive occasion, but everyday, home-cooked Middle Eastern/Central Asian/Persian foods don't use nuts nearly as often. Some dishes still have them, sure, but it's not like restaurant food or party food where just about all of it does.
idk as much about Indian food, but nuts don't seem quite as prevalent in comparison to what gran cooked for parties.

>>18640636
Italian went from the cuisine of the poorest proles to boujie made-up bullshit.

>>18641440
Luckily Indian food can be quite easy to make (just follow a few recipes, and they're only a few steps) as long as you get a few basic spices -- and there are always lots of options for substitutions. Checking online it says the only spice to watch for with a tree nut allergy is ground cumin as they sometimes use peanut as a filler (? I don't know why that even makes sense) so to double check spice mix brands, but cooking with whole cumin seeds instead is easy (no grinding necessary) and you get much better aroma.

Buying pre-mixed+ground curry powder is fine (basically the same principle as garam masala or any other roasted spice mix), just to get a baseline mix instead of adding 10 things every time, and then you just add extra of what needs highlighting, usually cumin and coriander. If coconut milk seems a bit expensive to use a lot then I just use soy milk instead half the time, perhaps with coco extract if I need the flavor.

>>18641440
try something like palak (spinach) paneer/chicken. That one is nut-free

>>18640636
In my experience, LOTS of cuisine is totally misunderstood. I see that basically anyone who isn't British and hasn't made a genuine effort to eat traditional British food has a quite frankly bizarre impression of British food (they think it's all mushy peas and full English breakfasts???) but I know that basically everyone in the UK has a totally wrong impression of Chinese food (what we'd call "Chinese" food is actually "Hong Kong" food).

Indian food is ok. Not exactly ground breaking stuff. Middling, together with italian, above german/austrian stuff

>>18641595
You have some seriously high standards my dude wtf

>>18640636
Why make a list of dishes served in any crappy curry house? Wouldn't a list of your coveted authentic dishes make a better point?

>>18640636
that's because most folks tend to generalize a cuisine from another country and narrow things down to say... "curry"
I doubt a lot of folks who aren't of Indian or Paki descent or have never travelled to that region can really pick out regional Indian cuisine differences
So you're right. folks are basing their Indian cuisine experience most likely on their comfort zone and when things get too regional they reject is as "not good" because it's not what they're used to

Looks and smells like shit. Fucking hate that these losers think their “food” is okay to sell in real countries.

>>18641958
Looks and smells like shit because their ingredients are shit.

>>18640636
Indian food is just slightly different middle eastern/mediterranean food, the spice is the only difference

>>18640636
FUCK INDIANS!

>>18642314
well maybe the "street food" considering what they do in the streets amirite?

>>18640669
You're claiming esl without having understanding of the phrase "one of", fuckin lmao

>>18640737
I thought you were trolling or retarded until this post but now I'm on board.

You can say Muhammad Ali is one of the greatest boxers because he was the greatest of his time, and he's in a category of others who were the greatest of their time, for example Tyson. He's one of (multiple) boxers who were the greatest. You could also say the current heavyweight champion and the current middleweight champion are both some of the greatest boxers today because they are each the single greatest in their respective class.

But you can't say that the current heavyweight champion is one of the greatest current heavyweight champions because there's only one greatest current heavyweight champion.

Likewise, you cannot say Indian food is one of the greatest cuisines because there's only one greatest cuisine.

>>18640636
I'm not going to learn all those terms just for ethnic food.

>>18640636
Standard Indian takeouts usually at least serve dals, biryani, and kheer.
