Indian Food
As always, the gap between my posts keep increasing. One of the main reasons for this, I figured, is that I try to think too much about what I have to post. I try to think about the topic, whether it has to be intellectual, entertaining or plain non-sense. The other reasons being, I'm lazy and am busy... blah blah. Anyway, to cut it short, I decided to just post random short stuff more frequently than long spaced out stuff. Makes sense?
The reason for the title is, today Pon and Jalan invited over for dinner just before I decided to go out for dinner. And when I have to choose between home-made delicious indian food and any other food, the decision isn't difficult. So, I stayed back. And man, was the food delicious. Thanx guys!. I was remarking that, of all the varied cuisines that I tried so far in my life, none of them can beat Indian food. I know it sounds cool if I say I like some foreign cuisine like Italian, Thai or whatever, but if I said so, I would be lying. Maybe I am biased because I was born and brought up and was fed Indian, but seriously, how can you not like :)
I especially like the innumerable dishes that Indian cuisine has to offer...there are literally thousands of them. Every state/region of India has its own freaking dishes and styles. The intricate complicated recipes add to the allure. The aroma of the spices is enough to make one hungry. Its not your, "put noodles in hot water and add the sachet of spices". The convenience food that we get here is, lets say..just convenient. Nothing more. (Ok Ok..I do like different cuisines and enjoy the different tastes...but thats not the point) Cooking Indian food, on the other hand, is an art thats been perfected over centuries. You have to eat the authentic food to believe it. Enough said..this is going too long...
