One thing that's surprised me since being in India is that I do recognise a hell of a lot of the names, tastes and appearances of the dishes from eating curry in the UK.

You can get Tikka Masala over here (fair enough it's more likely to be in an upmarket restaurant). In fact you can get a lot of the dishes you get in the UK, even in the little street side cafes. Admittedly you do sometimes find that the dish has the same name but is in fact different in taste and appearance.

The one major difference here though is the sheer variety of dishes compared to a standard Indian restaurant in the UK. Also it depends on where you are as where in the UK you generally get just "an Indian", here it will more likely differ acording to region. For example because of the climate the South has more rice and coconut influences in the dishes whereas in the north (such as Punjab) the food is generally spicier and uses breads like chapati and roti (the regional differences are massive, even within regions the food will change).

Funnily enough I'm yet to have a dish as spicy as ones I've had in the UK. I think the UK like to get quite macho about spice and just add it for the sake of it. Here the taste is more balanced, it's spicy but that's not all it is.

Being in Mumbai (a city which pulls in people from all over India) you get influences from the whole country so I've been to great restaurants covering many regions (I've also had the pleasure of eating with my work colleagues family). One thing is for sure though, I loved curry before coming to India and I love it even more now.

I've drooled all over my computer...mmmmmmm

Just out of curiosity mate, how come your in India ? Just seems unusual place to go to unless you Indian and know people there.

Im sure there are nice things about it, but it doesn't spring to mind as a place to live.

Work sent me here for 6 months to set some stuff up. The place is completely bonkers but an incredible experience as well.

The coronation looks like an old english pub from the outside but it does some really nice food for decent price, think it's rushy mead way, can't remember exactly.

JBS on Narborough road is really nice for fast indian food, you can get all sorts of meats in a naan with salad, sauces etc

*Oh and St Martens Inn I think it's called. Don't know where but the meal I had there was beuatiful, and it gets very hot there too if you like it that way
