Tony you have said all that needs to be said. Thanks!

You raise some very poignant and important questions. You may have hit the nail in the head. What is also important to know though is that it is not sheer bias that will keep it (authentic sub-continental restaurant getting Michelin stars) from happening, but also bad management and a lack of vision in the part of owners and managers. But you are so right.

What are your favorite recipes from it?

I hope you too will share all your thoughts with us on eGullet as you read. Thanks for your kind words.
