Had take out chinese here. I've had indian food one time, was delicious!
Every time I mention vindaloo to an Indian colleague they politely snicker. Apparently, it's a dish just for us. Sorta like General Gao's chicken. Still really good, though
Interesting. I'm with you though, it's still delicious.
Indian food?
Add a trip to the corner of Cleveland and Bourke Streets in Surry Hills (10mins by bus from UNSW and on the way to the City) to your wish list. I can think of about 5-6 excellent Indian places there over the space of a couple of blocks.
In particular Maya is cheap, authentic and fantastic. Its vegetarian but don't let that put you off. particularly recommend the Punjabi thali and save some room for their indian sweets afterwards. There is a meat version of the restaurant upstairs but its fairly mainstream and not nearly as authentic as the original downstairs one. http://www.mayavegetarian.com.au/

Indian food absolutely rules. I was fortunate enough to have a friend - who was Indian - introduce me to proper Indian food. SO good. Last year for Christmas Liz got me an Indian food cookbook 
I make everything super hot too. I also finally got my naan perfected.

Yes, and time intensive. I usually buy since I'm never too far from a desi restaurant.
So help us out, jackass.
eh? longest part is letting it sit (about an hour). overall prep time is maybe ten minutes. cooks in 5.
Its not Indian food if you cook it yourself!!!
but what if you're indian? or in india?
I don't know but I'm thinking that would just be lunch or dinner.
I love you!
like how an onyx is just a cigar?
Kevin- he means dot on the head indian not feather.

We have a few good indian places here in OC. Both great AYCE (All you can eat) to indian grocery places. My favorites are:
Chicken Makney (red butter sauce)
Saag Paneer (spinace with cheese)
Tika Masala (lamb or chicken but Lamb is better)
Samosa's (the "snack" item)
Gulab-Jamin (fried cheese balls in a simple syrup)
And of course all the pickles or pickled items such as the spicy pickled mango, Limes and carrots.

If you're talking about SoCal OC, where? I spend a lot of time in Claremont and there's no good Indian there. Akbar in Pasadena is good but kinda expensive.We have a few good indian places here in OC. Both great AYCE (All you can eat) to indian grocery places. My favorites are:

mmmmm...biriyani....I could get SHOT for this, but.... I prefer Pakistani food to indian.
Our local Giant has started carrying a pretty good selection of Indian items. The Naan is not quite restaurant grade but pretty decent.
In terms of sauce, I usually prefer the pastes that need to be mixed with yogurt, and I'll spice them up with lemon juice, chilis, and honey to taste. Just marinate chicken in the sauce, dump it all in a pan with a quartered onion and bake for an hour at 350. So good.

Not the best out there but very reasonable priced at about $3 a stick... oh, I see what you did there.
I vindalove indian food.
Babu Baat would love youI could get SHOT for this, but.... I prefer Pakistani food to indian.
I was in Pakistan (Karachi) for 2 weeks. Im not a fan of either Indian or Paki food but the stuff we got from our host (obscenely rich guy) was pretty good.
Only problem is we couldnt enjoy it for more then an hour because it would come out as fast as it went in.

I think I'm off to "appreciate" the Indian food I had last night... 
mmmmm....lamb korma
Went here while I was in London http://www.lahorekarahi.co.uk/ . Think it ran to 22 quid all up for three of us and more food than you could comfortably get through in a single sitting.
