Jacki Re: Indian Food

From what I can tell (I have a friend from India who is slowly teaching me how to cook Indian food), there aren't too many weird ingredients. (A lot of cumin, etc). I'm sure Orlando has a few small Indian grocery stores. If you get into cooking Indian cuisine, go to one of these places...MUCH cheaper for spices and stuff than at Publix.

 

Also, I live in Gainesville and work on campus, so I'm definitely familiar with the Hare Krishnas

No way!  Where do you work?  I miss Gainesville, esp. the food!

Thanks for the info on the Indian food.  I'm searching for some recipes!

***butting in**** Indian recipes call for a lot of curry too don't they? I went to this restaurant a while back that had the best curry chicken I have ever had. I have been to many a Thai restaurant in search of good curry chicken, but have decided that I do not care for Thai curry dishes. What I had was chicken pieces still on the bone that had probably been simmered in a sauce. Where as Thai curry seems to be soupy with rice and coconut milk flavored. Not what I am am looking for at all! Does anyone know of any really good chicken curry recipes that sound like what I had? I don't think I will ever top thinking about this place and that dish I had many years ago!

I could be wrong, but I've eaten at Caribbean restaurants that have chicken very similar to that.  Maybe you're looking in the wrong ethnicity?

You know what...you might be right! COme to think of it, it may have been a Jamaican restaurant. Good call!!!

Sorry to come back so late, but I didn't want you to think I was ignoring you. I can't log on from home . Anyway, I'd rather not say what office I work at, but my husband is a PhD student and he definitely enjoys his karma free lunch
