Today I experienced a fabulous lunch at Taj Mahal (on 8th Street, upstairs by Piper Pub). Sorry, no photos since I ate it too quickly.
I learned something worthy of sharing. “Curry” is not a spice commonly used in Indian food; rather, it means gravy. The curry gravy we are used to eating at Indian restaurants is not made up of a curry spice but lots of spices like saffron, turmeric, coconut milk and others. Note that there is a curry bush, which leaves are harvested for spices, but – again – not commonly used in making red, green or yellow curry.Who knew?
