You people deserve a "Thank You"

I've learned so much from all of you people and I just wanted to say "thank you" for your help and recipes. India and it's food are close to my heart here in the U.S. How can I return the favor?

Glad you found some useful information Gardener972 You never know when you'll be able to contribute to a specific request ..... wait a minute ..... can you give us a couple names of the better Indian restaurants in the Big D?????

What kind of atmosphere do you want? We go to a couple "hole-in-the-wall" places that are quite authentic. Then there are some nice places but, in my opinion, are too Americanized.

Cheap yet Cheerful .... if they offered Roomali Roti I'd do a few handstands ..... close to the American Airlines Center would be very strategic!? And there are some real diamond-in-the-rough hole-in-the-walls when it comes to Indian food joints .... so have got pen & paper ready!!

Do you feel like cooking dinner for 15619 indiamike members?

man, that would be a lot of dal!

yes that would be a big dal or deal whichever you like. As a former resident of hicksville, tx I do miss its Indian restaurants.

We better get started trying to find a date and time that works for all of us, this could take a while... How's Thursday?

Damn! Got to renew my passport, apply for American visa, wait... book an appointment for visa, earn enough money to cover the costs. Ok Thursday works for me, what time?

I'm busy on Thursday, could you make it Friday?

i am in if only there is some nice gajjar ka halwa and rasgulla s

Dinner is almost ready!!! Y'all (as they say in Texas) are welcome! Restaurants in Dallas: At Taj Mahal Grocery Store, there is a little chaat cafe in the back that makes AWESOME pani puri and some other things... very authentic. In the same strip center is Zyka. Neither have great atmosphere but who cares when the food is the best. Zyka is run by a guy from Hyderabad and it's hot as hell but SO good. These are both on Beltline on the west side of 75 in Richardson. At the N.E. corner of Coit and Campbell is Masala Wok, excellent; across the street south is Pasand, also good. Coit & Beltline by Whole Foods is an excellent vegetarian place, Madras Pavillion. That'll get you started. Though it's nowhere near downtown, it's worth the drive. I find that the other places are good but more catered to white Americans. Though I'm a white American, my insides are Indian.

I have been living in USA for the past 10 years and every time I visit my mom; she says I have lost the taste for Indian food, she has to modify the recipe so that it is mild, glad to know that you like the hot Indian food.

actually, some of those members might be search spiders. what do spider bots like to eat?

That would be a LONG, drawn-out dinner, huh? I would put everyone to work on a task. Would be fun though, wouldn't it... eating, talking about food, India, friend & families, etc.
