Answer 4

Curry, plantain, deliciousness.

I've only had it one time (curry chicken, beans and rice, and plantains) but I loved it.

Answer 5

Most people in the US are very familiar with North Indian or Punjabi style dishes (Tandoori, aloo gobi, palak paneer, biryani, naans...).

South Indian food is gaining more popularity (idlis, vadas, dosa...).

But there are lots of other regional cuisines & dishes that are virtually unknown here in the US.  Good example are momos --- they are Indian potsickers & they are absolutely delicious!  Most people probably didnt even know that India had there own version of potstickers!!

Indian food:  spicy, curry, tandoori, naan, biryani, chai & lassi are probably what most people think of when Indian food is mentioned.

Naan, Khorma, Basmati rice, Boti Kabaab Masala. My friends and I LOVE going to Bombay Bistro!

Answer 13

I guess very few Americans, white, black, red, yellow, brown, know much about anything beyond America, or food from other nations that have been adapted and tailored to bland American tastes.

I think of Curry, samosas. Sanjiv Kapoor, ghee, Kerala, turmeric, coriander, Tandoori Chicken, Biryani, Chapati, Mango Chutney, Masala, Pakoda.

I have eaten Indian food, actually I love it. I have been lucky to live abroad, and it has been a rich and rewarding experience.

Answer 15

Very little..

the people do not socialize well in America..

the few seem to prefer the mini-marts or liquor stores and gas stations.. because the states EEO  (equal employment opportunity) grants ..Not a available to Whites.

Most of the other RACES have joined in America's culture...

Yet still reserve their rejections to really sharing their culture..

Often times I shop at Asian markets... Seldom ,,,really never,, has any one of the community asked me IF I was finding stuff..or if I need help??

Now you Know WHY I want ENGLISH as the ONLY language  here..

I'm not a bigot...but there is no way I can learn a hundred languages..

I do not reject any-ones right to continue the family culture and speech but not as an escape... Any American traveling must rely on the courtesy or learn the language..
