• PennyG  on  January 26, 2017

  I lived and worked for 3 months in Pune, India Fall 2015. I adore Indian food. Cook it often!

• jupflute  on  January 26, 2017

  I love Indian food. My husband is from India, so we have it fairly regularly. The only thing is that now I am used to eating more home style Indian cooking and some restaurants just don't stack up. My favorite dish at home is idly with sambar, but I don't usually eat it in restaurants, because their sambar is not as good as my mother-in-law's.

• hsteel  on  January 26, 2017

  I love a good lamb biryani 🙂

• meggan  on  January 26, 2017

  Um yeah! I love naan, anything with paneer, saag, really anything!

• ktwalla  on  January 26, 2017

  I don't know much about Indian food. Do love naan. Made a Goan curry the other day and it was very good.

• nutmegfiz  on  January 26, 2017

  I love curried cauliflower and anything with the sweet/sour tamarind sauce.

• Raele  on  January 26, 2017

  I adore Indian food, because it is so easy to find something vegetarian or even vegan, and it's packed with complex and layered flavor. It's hard to choose a favorite dish, but I love the authentic Indian street food served in a little cardboard bowl at a market near my home. The Samosa Chaat is amazing!

• madelainelc  on  January 26, 2017

  Paneer forever. Mutter paneer may be the best food ever created, particularly with some fresh hot naan.

• jezpurr  on  January 26, 2017

• sgump  on  January 26, 2017

  Chana masala: could eat it *all* day. Must use fresh ginger, jalapeno, garlic, lemon juice, and cilantro (plus onions, tomatoes, of course chickpeas, and other assorted spices). Just divine!

• shoffmann  on  January 26, 2017

  I love Indian food, really anything. Especially lamb curries.

  I adore tikka masala!

• amandacooks  on  January 29, 2017

  I love Indian food! It's hard to pick a favorite dish – I enjoy dosas, curries, fluffy naan, chutneys, and cardamom-scented rice pudding. I'd love to learn how to make more Indian dishes at home, particularly seafood curries.

• Marcia1206  on  January 29, 2017

  I love chicken tikka masala but I like most Indian food

• Katiefayhutson  on  January 30, 2017

  I don't have a favorite Indian dish yet. I have had many that I really enjoy, but with so many options, I still like trying something new every time.

• hippiechick1955  on  January 31, 2017

  I LOVE Indian food. My mum is British but born in Lucknow and raised in Karachi and Calcutta. Growing up we had Indian food daily along with American food. Funny thing is, until I was 13 years old, I alwats chose to eat the American food without even trying Indian. Tsk tsk, Dumb child! Palak Paneer is my favorite dish of all.

• cambridgecook  on  February 1, 2017

  Anything with eggplant.

• christineleong  on  February 1, 2017

  We cook Indian food at home a lot and recently started making dosa, which is our favorite thing to cook now!

• rosyannposy  on  February 1, 2017

  Most anything with paneer, potato samosas with green chutney, naan.

• MaineDruid  on  February 1, 2017

  I've been cooking Indian sine 1975, but there's always room on the bookshelf for another Indian cookbook! My favorite dish was always saag paneer; but since I transitioned from vegetarian to vegan 13 years ago I've learned to substitute tofu for the paneer with superb results. Now if only I could figure out how to make acceptable gluten-free puri…

• SheilaS  on  February 1, 2017

  I love the variety of chutneys and pickles served with Indian meals. Mint, tamarind or tomato chutney, lime pickle, mmmmm!

• Sfgordon  on  February 1, 2017

  North Indian food is always so good…naan, vindaloo, anything paneer, eggplant, okra…I love it so much I one time made a tandoor for a project in my sculpture class. But I've been getting very into South Indian lately and I love dosas!

• kitchenfrolic  on  February 1, 2017

  I don't know if I have a favourite – we don't get to eat Indian food as often as I'd like, but I definitely choose tikka masala and any spicy curry whenever I can!

• mmchugh  on  February 1, 2017

  The Sour Chickpea curry from Madhur Jaffrey's original BBC series cookbook is amazing – I've been making it for over 30 years now, and never tire of it!

• Teruska  on  February 2, 2017

  I love Indian food. I make it often at home. My sisters are coming to visit next month for my birthday. Now I have to find a good Indian restaurant in Windsor, Ontario. My favourite dish, just one? I will be making Onion Naan for the first time this week. It is better than raisin bread but just as sweet. I do love Shrimp Madras.

  I love Indian food – hard to pick a favorite abut I love rava dosas and a good chana masala.

• ChazBrenchley  on  February 17, 2017

  I make curries pretty much every week, for a gang of friends. Channa masala is pretty much the house dal these days – so much so that I get complaints if I make something different.

• Whyvette  on  February 17, 2017

  I love butter chicken, saag paneer and Chana masala!

• Lijstjesmeisje  on  February 17, 2017

  I love all Indian food, but especially Vij's Punjabi style goat meat curry with spiced vegetables! My sister and brother-in-law took me there when I visited them in Vancouver. Would love to return, or give them the pleasure of trying it at home now they've moved to Toronto.

• lsgourmet  on  February 18, 2017

  I love Butter Chicken,, When I tell people it is Indian food they don't believe it, they just think it has to burn your tongue with spicy ingredients to be Indian. It's such a complex cuisine. and th Butter chicken proves that
