Singin' In the Rain
....Can be quite difficult if you have a cold.
Hence, I'm avoiding it.
Anyways, I now have seen the equivalent of "Indian" Chinese food. It's "German" Indian Food.
Just like how we Indians have modified Chinese food to suit our tastes (Don't kid yourself by claiming your humble Gobi Manchurian to be Chinese), zee Germans have modified Indian food to suit their tastes. Which generally means take all the spices out of the food, make it as bland/sweet as possible.
I walk into Indian Garden (the local Indian Hotel, run by a friendly Udupi guy, who btw doesn't give discounts, though I angled for one). I ask for his spiciest Chicken Dish. Chilli Chicken sir, he answers, back upright and all spiffy. OK, I say, one chilly chicken. (Now, every dish you order here in Germany, you get free unlimited Basmati Rice to go with it....Dont ask me what we get if we order rice....I'm guessing rice). I get my Chilli Chicken.....
To my dismay, it's as spicy as a rasgolla. (Well, that's an exaggeration, but trust me, it was frickin non-spicy-semi-sweet shit he gave me, claiming it was CHILLY Chicken)
Like I say, what goes around, comes around. Sigh!

Boss....dont remind me of all that stuff. My cribbing will just get more.
gee, that's so sad. why don't u ask this Indian Garden Udupi guy to put some extra masala or something? Or maybe u can add some 'chilly' sauce to the dish yrself.
What did you tell him: "Is this what I asked for, silly?"
@ VK
