I recently discovered Townsend on youtube doing Revolutionary war recipes and cooking, I am baking onions now, take the paper off, not too deep, put it in a stone wear vessel and next to the for for a about an hour, (about 350 degrees F) A touch of the right parmesan cheese is a nice partner.

Indians loves spices. I believe they love to use or cook with curry leaves, Chilis, Curry powder, coconut milk or cream, heavy or light cream, plain yogurt and butter in their dishes together with all the spices.
So far all I have right now is turmeric, gram masala, chili, garlic powder, cumin, cayenne, I also put a little of taco powder (Tacos). There's a lot more I think which I don't know and have.

The tomato/cream sauces for things like butter chicken and mutter paneer (two of my faves, along with vegetarian samosas and naan) are very tasty! The process of creating them in some recipes involves pureeing. The spices used are garam masala, ground turmeric, ground coriander, ground cumin (you can leave this out, @SoulWeaver 
), chili powder and cardamom seeds So yummy!!!

Which is why I gave up, I might cook and spice differently but it's not going to actually taste like Indian food...

Does curry have cumin in it as well? I just looked it up
Curry is a variety of dishes originating in the Indian subcontinent that use a complex combination of
spices or herbs, usually including ground turmeric, cumin, coriander, ginger, and fresh or dried chilies.
Surely you could leave the cumin out without disastrous effect?

chicken korma
butter chicken
pakoras
poppadoms
samosas
mango lassi
the spicy potato one...cant remember its name
I want to try some more different dishes but I cant handle TOO spicy. I like naan bread but I find I cant seem to eat naan at the same time as rice..maybe too many carbs at once?
but they kind of combine those as a combo at the local? Its kind of like having a side of mashed potato AND chips together.

South Indian breakfast: Idlis and dosas, Masal Dosa, Kichadi, Upma, Aapam, Vada, (with different chutneys). Kale porridge.
South Indian meal: Plain rice with an assortment of side dishes, either vegetarian or non vegetarian (Chicken, mutton, seafood - prawns, crabs, fish, beef) - Can be the same for dinner.
North Indian breakfast : Chapathis, pooris (With masala sabji), Naan.
Afternoon meal: Parottas and rotis, Rice with side dishes.
Biryani for all major Muslim festivals like Muslim marriages and also in most non vegetarian homes. Biriyani is well loved by all.
If you visit southern India, Sambar rice, Rasam rice, Curd (yoghurt) rice, Kolambu rice (Spicy sauce for the rice - usually non vegetarian, can be vegetarian also)
Pickles offered with the rice should be eaten with just a pinch. Most westerners help themselves and later use the rest room a lot if you know what I mean. I always waste pickle when I finish eating. A pinch will add to the flavor of the rice. There's a limit though. You can ask someone to guide you if you don't know how much you should add with your rice.
Of course, pork dishes are rare on the menu but are definitely available among other dishes.
For sweets: Kulfi, ladoos, Jangeris, Mysore paaks, Milk sweets, Rasagoolas, Gulabjamoons, Kesari, Coconut Burfee, Murukus, etc (Please avoid if you are diabetic - too much sugar in the jeera and in most sweets)
These are the usual. Indian - chinese cuisine, nothing like original Chinese food is good to eat. Has a different taste. (Be warned - plenty of Msg if not at least a little)
