How often is "often"? How do you know that? How many kitchens have you been in? Have you polled them? Or are you speculating?
1) More than rarely and less than always.
2) Because I speak English and it says so in the dictionary.
3) More than a few, less than many.
4) Yep, I polled all 8500 Indian restaurants in UK. We still ain't having a referendum.
5) I never speculate, I'm an Engineer.
Again, how do you know that? Have you asked? If so how many have you asked? Or are you speculating?
1) I've never met a fussy Indian chef - have you?
2) If you ask an Indian Chef "hello, are you fussy?", it tends to confuse him.
3) See 2 above, but in the past I have confused a few.
4) I never speculate, I'm an Engineer.
And on what bases do you say that? Others report differently. Have you studied it? Or can you quote some research sources? Or are you just speculating again?
1) Are you referring to curry "bases" or did you mean "basis"?
2) When "others" enter into this debate we'll listen to their views (or is that speculation?).
3) I did a degree in "Aluminium Pots and Pans" but failed the oral.
4)
