India beats China in UK

[Pakistanisage]

Why do they call themselves Indian restaurants then?

Because this kind of food is associated with India. This food was developed by North Indian Muslims ( Under the patronage of Mughal dynasty - my ancesters ). Most of these dishes use beef and Hindus consider cows sacred so they had no input in the development of these foods.

4. I have never eaten a single dish of Indian food, neither my gf, and I´ll never try Indian dishes. Yes, the smell is unbearable to be totally honest. More importantly if that romantic Indian standard of hygiene is of any guide, it´s not that hard for any chap with a decent brain to figure it out what that pair of hands usually did minutes before grabbing those dripping Curry Chicken into your plate… thank you, but no thanks.

Merry Xmas to you all!

Chinese restaurants and takeaways have dirtier kitchens than eating places serving other styles of cooking, according to environmental health officers.

idiot from the same article you not that far behind china either

Environmental health officers believe Chinese and Indian chefs struggle on hygiene because of "a combination of culture and language", according to Paul Hiscoe, a director of Transparency Data, which carried out the survey. They did not always understand food laws and often had difficulty understanding instructions from council officers, he said.

Almost half of Indian restaurants and takeaways surveyed also scored poorly in the survey of different cuisines

Vindawho? Chicken tikka masala knocked off top spot by Chinese stir-fry as Britain's favourite dish

Chinese stir-fry has now replaced chicken tikka masala as Britain’s favourite dish, a new survey revealed today.


The simplistic Cantonese dish, typically full of fresh vegetables and noodles, is now the most frequently cooked meal in the UK.


One in five Brits now have it at least once a week, with over two-thirds saying a large part of its appeal is that its far easier to prepare than traditional British cuisine, with the average stir-fry only taking a few minutes to throw together and cook in a wok.


Asian food has become increasingly popular in the UK and is now a part of the nation’s staple diet as families opt for international cuisine over British dishes three out of seven nights of the week.


Nine out of ten of Brits' favourite international meals are Asian.

The study, which quizzed 2,000 Brits on their favourite international foods and was carried out by Food Network UK, also found that sushi and noodles are now cooked as regularly as more traditional dishes such as spaghetti and potatoes.

Over a quarter of us now eat more Chinese, Thai and Japanese cuisine than we did 10 years ago.


BRITAIN'S TOP TEN INTERNATIONAL FOOD


1. Chinese stir-fry - now eaten ‘regularly’ by 55 per cent

2. Chicken tikka masala - 39 per cent

3. Sweet and sour chicken - 37 per cent

4. Thai green curry - 24 per cent

5. King prawns - 23 per cent

6. Beef choi mein - 19 per cent

7. Lemon chicken - 16 per cent

8. Thai red curry - 15 per cent

9. Szechuan noodles - 15 per cent

10. Peking duck - 14 per cent
.
And the survey suggests it is a trend which is likely to grow, with a third of parents admitting their children are more adventurous and open to trying new foods than they are.


Nick Thorogood, Managing Director of Food Network EMEA, said: 'Our research shows British palettes have changed and we now have a penchant for exotic tastes across the globe.


'It would have been unheard of for a typical family to tuck in to regular evening meals originating from Thailand or Japan a decade or so ago.


'But now it is considered normal to be swapping a Cottage Pie for a Thai Green Curry.


'It is interesting to see nine out of the top ten international meals we regularly eat are Asian dishes.

'It shows that what were once considered exotic dishes are now considered everyday cuisine and we are becoming masters of the wok.


'It is encouraging to hear children are experimenting with food from different cultures from an early age and are not afraid to try different flavours.'

A magistrate declared the hygeine standards at the restaurant 'absolutely outrageous.'

no one can deny that when people think "Indian food" outside of South Asia they are thinking of North Indian Mughali food. Almost all the favorite dishes that people like have meat in it or it is a meat based dish but with paneer substituted for meat. There are also South Indian restaurants but they always advertise themselves as "South Indian" and never just Indian.

So yes, when people say "Indian food" they are mostly referring to Pakistani food.

Indian dishes. Yes, the smell is unbearable

You are right that the vast majority of Indian/South Asian restaurants serve food that is overly smelly. They also tend to overdo certain spices which give off strong odors. That's because these people are not proper chefs and they overdo the spices, just to be on the safe side.

If you go the better restaurants, the food does not smell. In fact, the proper aroma is considered an integral part of the dish, along with the presentation itself.

For example, if you order pulao, and you don't smell saffron, then find yourself a different restaurant.

Merry Xmas to you all!

Merry Xmas to you too.

So are you saying that North Indian= Pakistani? Let me get S-O-C-O-M and Omar1982 on your case.

And not all of it is Mughlai , lot of it is Awadhi Cuisine.

The difference between Indian Punjabi food and Pakistani Punjabi food is pretty much nonexistent. But there's a huge difference between that meat-intensive cuisine and the vegetarian food commonly found in Gujerat. Describing any food as "Indian" or "Pakistani" is just too imprecise. Cuisine is regional and local, not national. Especially in a place as big as India.

Still, lot of item you buy in restaurants in west as Pakistani food food is either base don Mughlai or Awadhi cusine. That would not be incorrect if you say Pakistani food= Indian food except for few local delicacies, you may still be amazed to see a great Indian influence in method and ingredients of these local dishes in Pakistan.

One major difference between Pakistani and Indian food and that is the amount of oil used. Man, Pakistani food is full of oil they use at least 10 times more oil in their dish than any similar Indian dish. I tried Goat/Lamb/Chicken Biryanis at many places. Pakistani Biryani as usual comes out way too oily for my taste and compare to that nothing can beat authentic Hyderabadi Biryani which is way less oily and way more tasty.

Eh?... Pakistan Biryani is fine for me... I like Hyderbadi as well...
