Awhile back I was with my granddaughter looking for a scooter or moped for her to drive to work. Something rusted out on her car and now she's driving her mother's,
Anyway we drove past an Indian restaurant and decided we had to go back and try it. We neither one have eaten any Indian food. We went last Friday. They had a small buffet Two rice dishes, three sauce type and a chicken, Some deep fried mushroom, cauliflower and other surprises and Indian flat read. The waitress told us the buffet was less spicy than the menu so we did the buffet. Well I thought I had a pretty high tolerance for hot foods but I couldn't eat much off the buffet. the rice rice and the deep fried mushroom and the bread were the only thing not spicy. They also had a very nice carrot pudding for dessert and I'm going to try fixing it here at home. I think I have found over a dozen recipes for it. Now to decide which one I want to use. The waitress called the pudding Gajar Halwa and she said it had khoya cheese. I have learned it isn't sod here in the United States not even in Indian specialty shops. One recipe said to use ricotta instead. Do you like to try different cuisines? We will look for another Indian restaurant and even Thia

Thai is good too... But it really depends on who is making the food. There are indian dishes that are much spicyer then thai. But like I said, it depends on who is making it. I eat and make both indian dishes and thai dishes. You should try "hakka" chinese indian food. Now that is really good! Alittle spicy tho... :)

I love idian food. I didn't know much about indian food when I was a teen. When I was 19 I married a punjabbi man "knowing nothing of the food and culture". My background being english, and irish... We don't normally have spice on the menu! But anyhow at the time "divorced now", my ex husbands mother came to canada to teach me how to cook!!! lol... At the time I really had no intrest at all. Until I tried all the different types of food. I was amazed. Indian food is actually not all that hard to make once you get the hang of the spices! It gave me a whole new appreciation for food! You can also adust the "hot" spices so it doesn't turn out so spicy! Try butter chicken or aloo gobi "potato califlower"... They are 2 very tasty and easy recipes to start off with. Enjoy!!

I live in TEXAS, the home of Tex-Mex. I can't eat that stuff either!
The roomie makes a very good chili with just a few drops of hot stuff in it to give it the flavor without the heat! Too hot and I get blisters... but that has to be way beyond even my, admitted low tolerances.
