Thank you very much that was so educational. We are huge fans of Indian food, next time we have some we are going to take your wonderful suggestions to enhance our dining experience. Thanks for the support.
Nicely done, guys. That was a great review and reaction. I enjoyed the camera work and the background tracks. Speaking as someone who was born and grew up in India, learned to cook from my mother who has over 75 years experience (she knows over 40 ways to cook rice alone), and who used to have his own catering business cooking Indian food, I would like to offer some helpful hints, if I may. Although there is a type of leaf used in South Indian cooking that is called a "Curry" leaf in English, there is no such thing as a "curry spice" that is added to a dish. The dishes with sauce are the curries - not a spice. In fact, I tell people that if you have a can of "Curry Powder" in your cupboard, pick it up, go into your back yard, shake it by your ear, and then throw it as far as you can! :D When we first came to the US my mom ran out of her spices and resorted to buying a can of "Curry Powder" to make a chicken curry. We could hardly eat it it was so awful. There were a lot of hard feelings. You will never find it in an Indian spice cabinet. Maybe save it for Deviled eggs. Much of what you ate here comes from North India. The butter chicken was created in New Delhi - I was born about 12 miles from there. The tandoori chicken is marinated in a yogurt sauce which contains many spices, but thyme is not one. Thyme is not used in Indian cooking (now that western food is making inroads in India, it is used in those western dishes as required). What little thyme there is is generally relegated to medicinal concoctions. You may have been tasting the cloves in the garam masala which is part of the recipe. Love that you got messy with it. Indians prefer to eat with their hands - you never burn your mouth because your fingers let you know if the temperature is too high for your mouth. And you don't get the metallic taste in your mouth. Stick a metal clean spoon in your mouth for about 5 to 10 seconds sometime. Once you take it out you will notice the lingering taste of the metal. :) If you recall the "Food Pyramid", you will remember that the base is grains and flours made from grain, meat is the smallest section at the top point. Thus, the grains (carbs) are meant to be the largest portion of your meal. in eating rice and curries, think of a plate of spaghetti - the sauce (or gravy to Italians) is poured over the mass of noodles in a relatively small amount to give them flavor. Similarly the curries and bhajis are meant to accompany the rice, not the other way around. One would no more eat them alone than you would take a spoon to a gravy boat or a bowl of spaghetti sauce. It always amazes me when my guests stick a bunch of curry into their mouths and declare "Spicy!!" Lol! Well, it would be. The rice and breads are meant to blend their relative blandness to the bite to help cut down on the spiciness. Similarly, the naans, rotis, parathas (and other various breads) are used to break up and grab pieces of meat/vegetables and to scoop up some of the gravy and bring it to the mouth. We usually break off pieces that once folded and used to scoop up are just large enough to fit in our mouth. And yes!! The kheer (the "rice pudding") is usually served in a glass or tumbler like container and is poured into the mouth rather than scooped up with a spoon. :) Try out my hints the next time eating Indian food, I think you will find your food even more enjoyable. :) Peace!
