So you have to be Asian to be sensitive? That doesn't make any sense.

And why are you apologizing for your assumptions? Especially if you feel so strongly that I AM a racist.

Indian takeaways are perfect for winter.

Basically the best cuisine in the world (alongside Thai). Italian who?
Kadai chicken is my fav, but idk if it's the correct name for it.

No you don't. That'd be like saying you have to be a lion to be upset about the death of Cecil. If you are capable of empathy - you can feel sensitive about someone being prejudiced about a culture's food, because you already assume they are racist.

And I've been critical of white people, yes I'm a 1/3 European, but why are you skipping over that? I've also criticized plenty of black people as well. Don't pick and choose. Two of my best friends since childhood, one of them is my literal twin and brother (spiritually), are Filipino. One of my sisters gave birth to a child who is part Filipino. Another one of my best friends is Pakistani. I wouldn't even associate myself with them if I was racist.

Curry originates from South/South-Asian countries, yes.

BadMonster

Yes, Naan, Curry, Cauliflower and potato, I love it!

BabyCantYouSee

Yes. I love their butter chicken and butter naan.

superben

Not really.

I hate curry especially.

I like some of their sweet dishes, but I don't really remember the names.

Ethereal

I don't really care that much for Indian sweets

keshaspearsxo

Indian Takeaway is the greatest

DevonDreams

Nope!

Fun fact: Most "Indian" restaurants in the US and UK are actually run by Bangladeshis.

In any case, I love Indian food, but not the stuff they serve at most of those restaurants. It's always greasy, trashy Punjabi food so it's essentially street food from one region of India (and Pakistan). I love biriyani, but it's not supposed to be so oily and salty. If you eat a curry at one of these places, it's basically just a bowl of oil and salt. Curry is supposed to be vegetables and/or meat cooked in spices, not dumped into a bowl of oil.

Also, I would try non-Punjabi/North Indian food. I went to a South Indian place and had something called Dosa. It was good and the Dhal with it was great:

UFO

Not all the time.

When I do eat it tho, I like it real spicy

In South London they're mostly run by South Asians and in a sense they kind of try to bring the authenticity to the food.

♚ PRiNCE HiGH ♚

Ugh yes, especially authentic north indian/punjabi food >>>>

Punjabi sweets are just

There's SO much sugar/sweetness to them but they're still so good!!

Oh and south indian food esp dosai & banana leaf rice is really good too

theREALslimSHADY

Well I am Indian and I grew up on Indian food. I really love it. I love our flavours and insane variety of food.

My favourite dish is Kadhai Paneer.
