Saag paneer.... hmmmmm, delicious... Heres somethign for you. I love Indian food, but its presentation lacks a little, so what I have been doing is combining French techiques with Indian ingredients, and saag paneer is one of my favourite starting points... So, make a saag paneer. Bash out a chicken breast till its flat. Put a dollop of saag paneer on it and roll it up. Roll the thing in cling film (seram wrap to the americans) and make a tight saussage out of it. Stick it in a steamer till its cooked. In the mean time make up a makhani sauce (tikka masala type) but filter out the onions and other solids so you have a smooth sauce. Make up an aloo curry. So, when the chicken is cooked, take it out of the cling film and slice it centrally at an angle. Arrange it tastefully on a plate with some of the aloo and spoon round some of the makhani sauce. And there you have it, Indian food, that looks dead posh and fancy! :)

There were a lot on Indian words but not a single "real" Indian dish. I habe to;d before and I tell again: Whatever you guys from West eat thinking it is Indian, it is not.

I have been to India, I know how the food varies from UK 'Indian' food, which isnt Indian anyway, its Pakistani, and hence explains a lot of the difference, but many dishes are still recognisable you know, such as the two I mentioned, saag paneer and murgh makhani. Anyway, thats not the point. Its still damn tasty when done well! :)

Christianity and beer are pretty related. Monks been brewing beer and using it to fast for ages. Brewing is a way to clean water of bacteria to drink. People basically lived off food and beer in the middle ages, I saw that on a BBC special.

Yeah, people in the west drank low strength beer all day, form the age of zero onwards. Of course its got nothing to do with christianity, the pagans were doing it long before Jesus showed up.

But I dare say, the monks perfected the art of brewing.

Not true. There are plenty of real Indian places around, you just have to be selective, after all the local Indian population has to eat out somewhere. The is an excellent Goan Resturant in my hometown.

I don't condemn Pakistani food. But I understand, as Westerner, where you would have had food in India. It is not real. Believe me.

Hang on, so when I was in Hyderabad, with Microsoft, and I went out with the guys there to eat with them in restaurants at lunch, or in the evenings to various events, and ate on the Microsoft 'campus' none of it was Indian food? :) In fact even the hotel served Indian food almost entirely, the breakfasts were superb. Keemas, dosas, coconut pickles, hmmm it was good! I know the point you are trying to make, and to a degree you are right, but believe me, I do know what Indian food is, I have eaten it in India and I have cooked it myself often enough (and I mean real Indian food, not the fake gack you get in restaurants in the UK). In fact just to give you an idea of what I cook at home these are the spices and herbs I have: Coriander and Cumin seed. Turmeric, green and black Cardomoms, Basil, Onion, Mustard, Fennel seds. Star anise, cloves, fenugreek, seeds and leaves, coriander leaves, curry leaves, varioius chiili sauces and powders, asfoetida, cinamom, paprika, nutmeg, pepper. Here is the shop I get them from : http://www.e-velan.com/[^] Now tell me again that I dont know what Indian food is. :)

I dont know. While its true the monasteries were experts at many things, little is known about the culture prior to christianity, its called the dark ages after all.
