Thank you Phil! Very kind of you to take the time to answer my questions and giving me detailed feedback. I do have Indian food in my genes and I think you are absolutely right that there is a difference when you have grown up surrounded by a particular cuisine - your take on it is very different. Most of the Indian recipes you see online or in cookbooks/programmes are simply never cooked in indian homes! Also a lot of authentic Indian recipes, cooked in Indian homes are essentially healthy in their very nature of being everyday family foods. The foods and recipes have also morphed into dishes which are prepared and taste quite different to teh original ones. For instance, I grew up in a household where we had Dhansak every Sunday, the equivalent of a Sunday roast, I suppose! I don't know why but the recipes you get for Dhansak and the Dhansak you get in restaurants is an entirely different dish which is absolutely nothing like the original
