You won’t regret it. As an aside: With real Indian biryani, it is usually served with two sauces. The yogurt-based sauce, which is white, is meant to cool it off if it is too spicy. The other sauce is meant to heat it up if you need more spice and flavor.

What’s your favorite Indian dish?
The meats are generally determined when you order (like you can get chicken outer lamb biryani Which is a great rice dish.) The sauce is basically what you order.
Korma is a whitish, cream sauce. Usually mild and delicious.
Jogan Rosh is a red tomato based sauce. As is Masala. Both are good. chana Masala is chickpeas in red sauce. Delish.
Vindaloo is very spicy. Very good but very spicy.
Pakora are fried bits of whatever (fish, veggies) kinda like tempura but heavier.
Samosas are veggie or meat and veggie “pies”. Also very good. The plum sauce (ish) is great with them.
Naan bread is awesome. So is kultcha (my personal favorite). Paneer kultcha is cheese bread. To. Die. For. (Not at all like American/Italian cheese bread. Their cheese is kinda like dry cottage cheese but more flavorful.)
Those are some of my favs.
Lot of names I remember from my early years in that thread and a lot of folks still here nearly a decade later. And some folks I miss like SFZ and WUB and Gus.

I really enjoy it with lamb or goat because our (Western) cuisine doesn’t get either in our diet nearly enough. I like beef, chicken, and pork but sometimes I want something different which is why I had an oyster po boy today.

re: #63 BlueGrl21
Ok, Lizards, throwing this out there since we love food in general.
I am going to India again in a couple of weeks. The past times I’ve gone I’ve basically eaten breakfast and dinner at my very Western hotel and had protein bars for lunch. I am determined not to do that this time. I am going to eat what is around me.
I will be in Mumbai.
What’s your favorite Indian dish?
My personal favorite is sag paneer, which is a dense unaged cheese (paneer, which is almost tofu-like in it function) in chopped or pureed greens…usually spinach, but sometimes mustard greens, amaranth, etc.
But if you’re in Mumbai, consider:
- South Indian vegetarian meals. Usually served at restaurants that reference Udupi in the name or description. It’s a fixed meal served on a palm leaf—a thin lentil curry (sambar), a peppery soup (rasam), and yoghurt plus lots of rice. Not actually something I like much, but as a cultural experience it’s maybe worth looking at. There’s also dosa—big thin crispy pancakes served with chutney and other filling (general wrapped up) that I actually think taste good, and there’s a ton of versions of what you put in them.
South Indian is flipping heavy, though. Prepare for carb shock.
- Parsi food. It’s Persian cuisine, displaced and altered to the locality over generations. Parsi is more fruity than most subcontinent cuisine so there’s stuff like Salli Boti (lamb with apricots, finished with potato straws). Parsi’s also good for sweets(for desert or for tea or a snack…specifically Lagan Nu Custard) or breakfast (Akoori…Parsi scrambled eggs).
Bohri Muslim cuisine. This is pretty much the sweet spot if you like meat curries with rich gravy and kebabs. There an area called Mohalla that’s the Muslim food street. Though given how things are right now, maybe see if there’s been any issues with harassment…butchers and meat-eaters are being targeted as part of Hindu nationalist actions.
Konkan food—coastal cuisine—and Maharastrian food—Bombay being the capital of Maharastra. Lots of coconut and red chilies, lots of sea food, including “Bombay duck” (bombil, a local fish fried in chickpea flour batter). Malvani dishes—usually “chicken malvani” or with black lentils or mutton are all variations on the same (tasty) theme. As single dishes go, look for kori gassi…coconut chicken curry.
There’s a ton of regional street food and food. Curries served with pav (a soft roll) are common and highly variable in makeup, but generally there’s pav bhaji and misal pav meals. Ragda pattice—pea stew with potato patties and garnishes—is good. There’s also about eight millions versions of fried stuff
That’s also a tenable position.

My karma is 31258 (well a minute ago anyway)
It’s as unique a number as any other
Why are only round numbers milestones?

Trump told military spouses today that he’s proud to have given servicemembers pay raises for the “first time in 10 years.” They’ve received raises every year for at least 30 years, Military Times reports. https://t.co/R2HXZjyp5y

re: #227 JordanRules
I miss their forums so much. I didn’t participate but I loved the obscure entertainment jewels you could find on there.
e.g
Q- Hey, anyone know what song that 2 second snippet was from in episode 34 from 1982.
A- I do. My uncle worked on that show and told me…I used to get lost in there for hours.
Same here. I was heartbroken when I saw they were going to take all that offline.

Which is to their credit. I just have no idea what condition McCain is in, or if it would make a difference.
re: #251 Backwoods_Sleuth
and will he bother to go to DC to vote “no”?
His vote wouldn’t necessarily matter. If there are 50 votes to confirm, he can go and vote “no” and force the Vice President to break the tie. But if there are 50 votes against without him, then his vote wouldn’t change anything. This is a slightly different calculus than the ACA repeal

A glioblastoma is a devastating necrotic tumor. If he’s talking about his imminent death and who should be there, he probably is within a few weeks of stepping on a rainbow.
I wouldn’t expect him to hire a private jet to fly him to D.C. and cast a vote.
The last days of anyone with a GB are just awful. Your brain is, literally, rotting out from the inside. It’s like pulling breakers on a fuse box and shutting down the power system on a building.

White graduate student calls police on black student sleeping in Yale dorm https://t.co/0v4Uq5hOgP pic.twitter.com/FHZNd2CXUe

” A white graduate student at Yale called police on a black graduate student who had fallen asleep in a common area of their campus residence — an episode that a dean said shows the need for efforts to make the Ivy League university a more inclusive place. Lolade Siyonbola posted two videos of Monday’s encounter on her Facebook page, including part of a conversation with the white student who told her she was calling police after finding her on a couch in the room at Yale’s Hall of Graduate Studies on the New Haven campus.
After questioning Siyonbola for more than 15 minutes, police confirmed she was a Yale student who lived in the building and then left. Police told her the encounter was prolonged because her name was not spelled correctly in a database of student information. …”
