a lovely article and the analogy to bbq was fitting! i only wish that i had access to all the ingredients for these curries.

Our own Monica Bhide has the lede story in the Washington Post food section this week. A big round of applause for

The Curry Question: Ask an Indian cook how to make chicken curry. You won't get the same answer twice.

Congrats!

[Suzanne F]

Ah, you beat me to it! I was just about to post about it.

What I want to know is: why did Monica ever do any other kind of work? She should have always been a food writer.

Great article. Congratulations. I loved the thing about the ham.

I have to say that while I love Indian food, I was never inspired to get into cooking it until I wound up at eGullet and started reading Monica's writing.

Monica, you have done it again!! FANTASTIC article.

Kudos

I understand that you are in Richmond, VA. I am sure there are quite a few Indian grocery stores there. It should not be a problem finding the ingredients.

Also there is an active thread in the India forum on buying Indian spices online. You may check that also.

Congratulations, Monica!

For those who do not see the print edition, it's the lead story with numerous photos - very cool.

And it's an excellent article. I have a feeling many people in the DC area are going to be making various versions of chicken curry this week.

All of us are benefiting from Monica's transition to a career as a food writer!

[Fat Guy]

Wow!!!!!!!

Incredible placement and an incredible story. The Washington Post has been great to eGullet and Monica is its new star. Excellent.

[Richard Kilgore]

Very nice piece, Monica. Congratulations!

[Suzanne F]

There's also a thread about it on the DC etc. board.

moderator's note:

These threads have been merged here. The DC thread no longer exists. A note has been posted in the DC forum alerting members to this thread.

Note to Fat Guy: you can be very proud of your "children."

Edited to add: I've asked on the India and Indian Cuisine board for others to continue posting their recipes and stories. I can't wait to read them, AND to cook.

Nicely written article, Monica. Thanks

[Anna N]

You are on your way, Monica! But then who doubted it? Not me!

[Al_Dente]

Awesome job Monica. One of these recipes will be on my table by the end of the week!

[JPW]

I saw the article even before i brought the newspaper in this AM.

WooHoo!

The one from NW (?) India with the yoghurt looked quite interesting.

Congrats again Monica on a great article. It's a great topic, and it's refreshing to see a creative approach taken where some writers would just offer a basic overview of a dish and call it a day.

And anyone who calls random strangers out of the phone book in the name of food reportage gets extra gold stars in my book!!!

Same here (thanks, Monica).

The article is very, very nice work. We're all proud of you.

[Al_Dente]

I like the idea of calling people randomly in the phonebook for recipes. I'll have to do that.

"Hello, Mrs Sarducci? Al Dente here. Can I have your Marinara recipe?"

Lets just say a lot of people probably thought I was a telemarketer and hung up at ..Hello..

[deliad]

Suggestion for next time.

Instead of Hello...start with "Namaste..."

Great article, Monica, and good job sliding in the eGullet reference!

Congratulations, Monica.

We're all hugely proud of you Monica. Now, about that raise...
