Thanks for your comments on my curry...Hi Mary Ann,<br /><br />Thanks for your comments on my curry chicken post. Please don't hesitate to ask for mild food at an Indian restaurant!! In my opinion a Lamb biryani would be a delicious start. Side dishes: raita (cucumber with yoghurt, very refreshing) and some naan will be perfect. In fact anything that is mild and is prepared with eg. coconut, lentils, tomatoes etc will be a good start. Just feel free to ask, you are not alone! Of course I have gotten quite acustomed to very spicey food over the years and mostly the waiter is quite surprised that I say I want it very spicey (I don't look that way :-), so maybe I'm not the right person to ask; but in general they adjust the taste to 'the surroundings'. Enjoy!Mostly Turquoisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01896520491159340953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1779511481868469607.post-64156156902378110052010-03-31T14:38:29.975-07:002010-03-31T14:38:29.975-07:00Lyn, Thank you for noticing the texture!
