Indian Food
So where is this mystery restaurant that we are going to?
It’s an Indian restaurant! I know you have never had Indian food, so I thought you might want to try.
That sounds great! I am craving some type of beef dish.
Well, Indian cuisine actually doesn’t serve beef. You see, cows are a sacred animal, a very important element inthe Hindu religion, so beef is not eaten.
I see, so what are we having? Chicken?
There are many amazing dishes to choose from. We can havesome chicken tikka masalawhich is an amazing curry. It’s a bit spicy, but I think you can handle it.
Sounds good! I have always heard that Indian spices give a rich flavor to food.
Yeah. Also, we can have some Naan bread which is baked in a tandoori oven. Since you don’t use any utensils to eat, you can use this bread to scoop upthe curry or rice.
What about veggies?
They have a good variety of vegetable based dishes like palak paneer, vegetable samosas or Daal.
It all sounds exquisite! I can’t wait!
