Author Topic: ever been to india ?  (read 14,257 times)

AI Summary
The discussion revolves around the experiences of dining in Indian restaurants, with the original poster expressing disappointment in British Indian restaurants (BIR) due to their use of frozen meat and base sauces. Several replies clarify that the forum primarily focuses on recreating BIR flavors at home, while some members acknowledge the superiority of authentic Indian cuisine found in India. The consensus is that while the forum's main aim is BIR recipes, there is also a recognition of the value of authentic Indian cooking, and members encourage exploring both styles.

ever been to india ?
« on: June 25, 2006, 11:16 PM »
just interested to hear from anybody who has eaten in a restaurant in india.  i went their couple of years ago delhi agra bombay goa, all the dishes i ate were all completely different. there was no sign of the so called base sauce, but just the right amount of herbs and spices. from what i could gather.  i no longer eat in bir restaurants for three reasons frozen tasteless meat, stale herbs and curry soup that they put into every sauce .lets do it right!

Nothing wrong with that - from time to time.

But the whole point on here is to be able to duplicate the curry house taste at home. No claims to the contrary.

It might not be called that, but that's what it is about ::)

If you think or expect otherwise you ARE on the wrong forum.

Hi oscar, I think Mark meant more that your post won?t find much sympathy in this forum as alot of people are trying to recreate a BIR tastes.

Im sorry youve had some bad experiences with B.I restaurants, we are trying very hard to create the tastes of the best BIR?s and there are some excellent ones around.

If you check out the BIR recipe section you will find recipes which are far better than your average restaurant and of course, you can decide how fresh the ingrediences are.

Regards Ashes

But I suggest that Oscar has made a good point. The dishes I've eaten in 4 or 5 star hotel restaurants in North India were out of this world. As much as I like BIR food, it can't compare with the real (Indian) thing, which is generally in a different league.

Some BIRs are tasty and good quality, for what they are, in their own way, though. Keep looking for some of the better BIRs.


Regards
George
