What is Desi?
« on: October 19, 2009, 03:27 PM »
The term Desi appears to be creeping into recipe names in restaurant menus.
Does anyone have a specific definition for this?
The best I have come up with from my internet searches (as applied to BIR) is perhaps a BIR dish but cooked using spices in a more traditional or regional style. ???

The Shimla Spice chain of restaurants has a complete section of Desi dishes.
See their web site here... http://www.shimlaspice.co.uk

The name also appears in Kris Dhillons latest book.
Perhaps Kris herself may 'shed some light' on this next time she logs on?
