on contrare...indian buffets are the best way to try out new stuff!
Thresher wrote:Not much of it was labeled, so I had to guess at what some of it was. Of the labeled foods, my favorite was Butter Chicken, that was darn good. I had this other chickent dish that must have had a ton of ghee in it, curry, and some beans of some sort. That was my absolute favorite. The guy told me what it was, but I can't remember. It wasn't chicken tikka marsala.
yeah, usually all that stuff is labeled.. oh well. i doubt it was a ton of
ghee in it... a ton of ghee would give you the sh*ts for hours... and ghee
(clarified butter) is expensive...
Thresher wrote:Indian flatbread == win. Damn that stuff is good. There was another bread that had the consistency of cornbread, but it was white. I didn't care for that as much, it had no flavor. I'm kind of thinking I was supposed to pour some of the curries over it, but that didn't dawn on me until later.
yeah
soft flatbread is usually naan or roti, depending on a few factors...
and
hard flatbread is usually peppered and called chappati
the other bread yer referring to is called idli... its used to dip in sambar, dal, and rasam.
