hi everybody,
doing a bit of tresspassing at the moment,ive just climbed over the fence from the turkey forum where im usually found,to ask you guys a question,what is the food like in india,is it anything like the food we are served here at home or is it totally different,the reason i ask is,i could quite easily eat in my local resturaunt every night of the week as i love the food and cant get enough,however i once had a holiday in kenya that had a indian resturant in the hotel grounds,we were told that it only served authentic quality food,if it was the real deal (dont think it was)im going to be dissapointed when i eventually talk my other half into visiting india instead of going back to the same place all the time,so is the food the same,better or worse in your opinion.
many thanks guys.
In my opinion the food is much better - greater variety, freshly cooked. Also very good selection of European, Chinese etc. available too.
thanks roxey,
so would it be fair to say that we could get the food that we are used to,but better or are the menues and dishes that we all have here at home just made up for the brittish taste and wouldn't get that type of food whilst in india.

Welcome aboard.
Warning - Trespassers will be converted! (to Goa)
I had my first Goa experience in November and it reminded me slightly of Turkey, 15 or so years ago.
You can find some excellent food for approximately a quarter of the cost in the UK (often less).

The Indian food we get here is usually Bangladesh, and floating in Ghee. Food out there is much nicer and usually freshly cooked with spices. Its not the same IMO,its much better

I lost weight while in Goa Bibbs 
And before you ask, no it wasnt Delhi Belly 
I think it had something to do with fresh food 3 times a day. Not like at home where we (sometimes) skip meals and eat convenient cr**.

that sounds like me,eat nothing from when i get up till tea time,then as you say,eat cr*p,but i can see me now if i were to go to india,curry after curry,beer after beer,sounds like heaven,take me their now, 
is it just turkey you like,we used to av it a christmas;but serious the differnt foods found in goa is second to none the different herbs you can go into our kitchen and you will pick up dozens of different jars each containing the spices of india cumin,bay leaves,tumeric,funergreek,garam massala,bayleaves and not fogetting the coconut milk,i would be here all day naming them and people who havnt tried the food seem to think its all to spicey this to is not so true,besides your currys dont forget goa also has the arabian sea with its endless supply of seafoods like i said second to no one, steve .
thanks steve,
i am definitely a indian food junkie,my personal favourites were chicken vindaloo,chicken madras but have now moved on to a chicken tikka pathia with mushroom pilau rice,bombay potatoes,keema nann and loads of cobra's to wash it all down,were as the gf has the chicken passanda cooked extra mild (wimp),we couldn't get further apart on the menu spectrum,and now i fancy one just writing about it,

Bibbs you wont get the same food as you get in your local 'Tandoori nights'
the vindaloo out there isn't no where near as hot,its all different to what ever you have had here. I suppose that's the same the World over,I would imagine the food in China is much different to what us westerners are used to here.
I hope you can convince your partner to go,im sure she would love it.

hi thanks for the replies,
been doing a bit of thinking,we seem to go back to the same place year in year out,coz i'm out voted 3 to 1,my partner and i are both single parents and both have one daughter each,now comes my cunning plan,when our kids have a holiday with their mother/father,we should be visiting the places on my list-india being the first,then the following year all four of us can go back to turkey,simple,yer right.

I still remember the first curry i had on my 1st day the 1st time i went to Goa. It just blew my mind with the absolutely fantastic taste (not at all too spicy ) cooked with fresh ingreadiants etc.
Most of the food over there is FAR superier than the stuff we are sreved at home (Much cheaper too!!)

weve stopped using the curry houses at home there food is bland,tastless and not worth the money,we now have a kitchen to resemble the spice plantation minus the elephant so much tastier than the local curry house and fresher not forgetting cheaper, make your own a few spices (cummin,tumeric,ginger and garlic) fried off in some ghee add a onion then sliced up chicken breast,mabye some mushrooms cook them off then add a tin of coconut milk simmer away add a touch of cream to thicken done,if you like heat add chilli powder at the start with the spices dont forget when serving sprikle over the top freshly smelling chopped corriander and all done in 15minutes enjoy,steve
Bibbs,
If you like it hot and spicy most restaurants will do it that way, tell the waiter that you want your curry Goan hot, not English Hot. Most places will happily oblige.
