Why isn't Indian food as widely available as Chinese food in the US? It's much better, imo

hahahahahah

topkek this is pretyy damn true

too spicy for bland amerimutt palates

Nah it's better.

Americans are neurotic germophobes
Indian cooking is notorious for being unhygienic

>go to Indian restaurant
>"can i have lamb masala, 6 stars please."
>*smirks*
>"lol you sure about that?"
>"Yes, I am sure."
>brings me some mild whiteboi shit

It makes me sad because I love Indian food and it really is hard to find good place. And the good places pretend like its a fancy restaurant and charge way too much.

It would travel so much better than delivery Chinese too. Getting any sort of battered/fried chicken delivery is always soft when it arrives.

Unironically this.
I had my poo roommate bring me some home one time and it was uber fucking hot, ordered it myself a week later and it was like somebody put a drop of tobasco in and called it good

Spices are hard to come by

>spends his days on the /r/efugee section of a chinese cartoon forum shitposting about how it's logical and reasonable to expect every nigger to behave how the dumbest niggers do
>gets offended when superior races treat him like he's about to behave like the dumbest southern barbarian does

God you sound so fucking autistic.

Literally what?

this is some primo not being able to take the heat, no wonder the Indians don't trust you with any in your food

I had some home made Indian food with my poo friends family.
>"We made it mild for you user."
Still the hottest Indian food I've ever eaten not matter how hot I ask for it at a restaurant.

I have a decent section of Indian food places where I live (5 within 20 minutes) and my favorite one is not even a restaurant, but an Indian market with a kitchen that makes food for takeout. They will make you 200 different dishes, and they will make it as spicy as you want it. They don't discriminate once they get to know you.

I had them make me an extra spicy Lamb Biryani last week and it was one one of the most intense and flavorful food experiences I have had in a very long time.

Basically, I am saying that if you get to know your favorite Indian restaurant they are generally friendly and will give you the good stuff.

No, I mean I literally don't understand what your shit english was trying to convey.

Because Indians don't work as hard, have no streamlined and outsourced food prep to third parties, and can't give you a large container of biryanai, curry, and a samosa for 6 dollars as a lunch special.

Chinese people actually have a nation-wide network set up for immigrants and chinese businesses. They are incredibly organized and deliberate in where they open up shop and their business models are streamlined, with the option to instantly convert into money laundering schemes if the business goes south.

I don't believe indian people have an equivalent to this.

Also, everyone knows that thai curry > indiand curry

You can't serve cow shit without being shut down by the FDA. Also much indian food is just somewhat regular food with a fuck ton of spices added to it.

Yeah, I love chicken and chili-spice mush.

>go to indian restaurant
>the cook shits in your food

Chinese food in USA is more familiar to Americans who are used to mainly eating American food. A lot of people think Indian food is just a bowl of unidentifiable mush with 1500 spices but there are Indian foods that would be familiar and mildly spiced too. I've noticed more Indian restaurants in my area and for all the "wypipo don't season their food" jokes, I've seen a fair number of white people in them. I think the demand is growing.

AS cheap as Indians are in general, the Chinese steal beat the shit out of them in terms of giving you three pounds of bullshit for like three dollars.

For what it is, I find Indian food exorbitantly expensive.

because Chinese food is more popular then Indian food. neither are objectively better then the either. popularity does not mean it is better.

Between this shit, and learning making it myself was easy, I stopped going to indian restaurants. Not to mention it is so much cheaper it is.

>For what it is, I find Indian food exorbitantly expensive.
This. There's one Indian restaurant in my town, and they charge $13 minimum for any of their curries. There isn't even a nice atmosphere in the restaurant. It's just cheap decor and Bollywood films playing on wall-mounted TVs.

This fucking happened to me when I asked them to make it spicy. Shit was so bland I don't think they even salted it.

Is Palak Paneer real Indian Curry or is it an Americanized recipe? Because I'm not a fan of most Indian food, but fuck me I love Palak Paneer.

Does it matter? If you like it, eat it. Fuck knows I'm never giving up tikka masala because it is closer to being an english recipe than an indian one.

it's made with cheese (american staple) and spinach (popeye's food)

do the math

You're silly

Indian food hasn't been fully Americanized yet so it's not popular. Wait till it's all full of sugar

Palak paneer (pronounced [paːlək pəniːr]) is a vegetarian dish from the Indian Subcontinent,[1] consisting of paneer in a thick paste made from puréed spinach and seasoned with garlic, garam masala, and other spices.

I have yet to have sweet indian curry, thankfully (though some recipes have sugar as an optional ingredient that I usually ignore) Though amusingly enough, while I was in japan I went to an Indian restaurant there, and it was fucking candy sweet. Fucking japs and their sweet curries.

>and they charge $13 minimum for any of their curries.
I go to an Indian restaurant for a buffet that charges the same thing for ordering off the menu, but the weekend buffet is also $13. It's only for 3 hours Friday/Saturday/Sunday so maybe that's why. Has 20-25 dishes, 4-6 breads and fried vegetables, 2-3 desserts, 6 condiments, and free masala chai.

they probably do this because some one who gets the extra spicy dish that they specifically ordered complains its too fucking spicy. I've had some mind bendingly spicy Indian food In Berkeley, Ca, but most places make it pretty mild, not all though.

Not many chink places like that anymore either. Good Indian buffets are still a great deal in the towns that have them. In Seattle there is mostly mediocre or downright terrible Indian food so far but there are more Indians moving in so perhaps that will change. The best Indian food place I've found here is actually a Nepalese place which does mostly Indian dishes.

because indians are filthy people and nobody feels comfortable eating food they prepared

an indian restaurant in my city just scored a 74 after their last score was a 70.5. health inspection system really does nothing to keep people from getting sick from shit like this. violations included "storing raw fish over unwrapped prepared deserts"

It's not a curry dish. It is an Indian recipe, but I prefer it without the paneer.

because its already been brittish-ized. remember there is american (british) hot or actual indian hot.

never ask for the hottest indian curry when you are drunk.your arse and your housemates will not thank you.

Brits can't handle spicy food like Americans can

Lamb pasanda is the way to go

>sweet curries
ewww fuck that noise

>Sigh

bongs don't even know about chili

t. zhang

What's your favorite Indian dish? For me, its the Rogan Josh with extra eggs.

Lamb curry or aloo gobi, but there are many good ones

>britbong doesn't know the correct situation in which to use greentext
>ends up making a fool out of himself and his fellow countrymen

Because it doesn't taste as good.
They really have nothing on the level of orange chicken desu.
Naan bread is pretty dank tho.

More Chinese immigrants
History literally defines culture

because there isnt any meme indian food jam packed with sugar, I mean, "flavor"

see

I'd guess because it's harder to simplify and cheaply mass-produce those flavors and spices

I didn't have orange/sesame/General Tso's chicken from a Chinese place for a few years, then when I had it again I started to feel sick from all the sugar. Egg foo young and fried rice is still good tho.

t. beaner

Seattle is shit for anything other than like, teriyaki, pho, and any kind of seafood.

agreed

Because Jews.
Not /pol/ and not kidding either.

>Indian plate set with all kind of sauces and curries, that you have no idea about them.

It is

You haven't had Indians over there in large numbers for long enough

remember that bongs ruled over the subcontinent for hundreds of years and the first curry house opened here just over 200 years ago, it takes time for cuisine to become popular

This.
But mostly because American Chinese food doesn't bother people's digestion like Indian food does.

Compare hot English mustard to Americanized stuff. Not to mention they love a curry and this whole thread is about how it's not so popular in the US.

Come to Canada. We got all corners of Asia everywhere. It's amazing.

a lot of the chinese restaurants in the hood in philly, in addition to chinese food, sell american stuff like fries and fried chicken wings, and convenience store stuff like blunts, cough medicine, toilet paper and batteries.

These extra goods probably help them to maintain a customer base when they're on every third corner

mustard heat is different from the chili heat you typically find in curries

Nah I've been eating Indian food since I was a kid. I just like variety. It doesn't have to be expensive or fancy. I love those Tikka Makhani jarred sauces.

>Why isn't Indian food as widely available as Chinese food in the US? It's much better, imo.
My parents and grandparents before them were identical in not liking either one very much in the US or any other world cuisine if it came from the third world immigrant situations, where culture and education valued cheapness above and beyond food safety. There would be the one restaurant in town that would be an exception, serving americanized white meat honey chicken and sizzling canton steaks at high prices in high priced communities. Open kitchens help most Chinese establishments.

My grandfather also was in India during the war. He wouldn't touch their food, their airlines, their anything.
