Indian Curry's Global Journey

Indian Curry

I love the way non-Indians write about India and Indian things.

Wah bhai wah, Bharat ne duniya ko kya kya diya hai! 
Mera Desh Mahan hai!

Perhaps noticing my indecisiveness, he picked up two small, wooden bowls and dished out a ladle of spicy into one bowl and a ladle of sweet into the other. "Try," he commanded.
