I didn’t grow up with Indian food. I wish I had the benefit of knowing someone to introduce me to it. I’m adventurous about trying new things, but it’s a different culinary world. Like, with an “American” recipe, I read it and know what to expect. I also have a pretty good idea of how much I can deviate from the recipe to accommodate what I have on hand or to suit personal taste. I seldom follow recipes very closely. With Indian food, I just don’t know very much. I do give it the occasional try, though!
