Indian food is not for faint-hearted. Really?
Indian food is not for faint-hearted. Really?
To my dismay, the purported authentic food served in these houses does not even hold any close resemblance to the food that Indian homes prepare. It is a lot on the denser, creamier and greasier side.
One can enjoy a spot of tranquillity in the Indian curry house, but the food served is far more tailored and tagged as - it's too hot or fiercely spicy or worst not for faint-hearted?
If a cuisine has to be enjoyed for what it is, then making every conscious effort to retain its authenticity is the key.
One can quickly seek to alter/adapt the spice level to suit one's individual preference and taste without having to modify the authenticity and still serve as authentic- this is a misrepresentation clearly. By doing this, the guests do not get a real feel of the origins of the dishes.
Food has no culture barriers and hence it is wrong to limit certain taste to a certain population.
