I have to tell you, no offense, that I just have never been able to get into Indian cuisine. I love (even if it is Americanized) Thai, Japanese, Vietnamese, Chinese, Mexican, Italian, Greek, and I like certain aspects of some cuisines of the middle east. Everything Indian I've had has been mushy and blazing hot. Not fair I know that is like saying I don't like American/Russian because of beef stroganoff, or British food because of shepherd's pie, and I probably just haven't had good Indian food. But, my wife' best friend is Indian and we had a bunch of dishes at her engagement and wedding, and I have tried Indian a few other times through out the years and it is just not great in my book. It's not like I won't eat it but I have not had anything I would intentionally seek out.
