Curry?

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!

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

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.

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.

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

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. :smile:

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

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. :biggrin:

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.

If someone writes a book about restaurants and nobody reads it, will it produce a 10 page thread?

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!!!

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