Is this really a recipe out of the Indian Food Safari
The best Indian food is found on the Streets of India or the small side street restaurants in the cities in India. The next best would be traditional home made Indian curries.
I've yet to find an Indian restaurant that serves authentic Indian food here in Perth.
We make curries at home which have been handed down over generations and are still awesome, better than most restaurants can dish.

not really the REAL DEAL
all these indian recipes are no good. none ever tastes like the stuff you get in restaurants.
the royal india restaurant serves the best curry in the world (imho) - the chicken vindaloo is to die for. until someone can show me a recipe that tastes even a third like this one, i will remain the eternal sceptic. in 20 years, i have NEVER found a really good indian recipe in either books or online........

Hot Tips
Washing rice
Rinsing long-grain white rice before cooking removes excess starch, thus helping the rice cook more evenly and be less sticky. Some specialty rice, such as basmati, is always rinsed and soaked before cooking to obtain separate, perfectly cooked grains. However, other rice, such as Arborio, prized for its starchiness in risotto, is never rinsed.
Glossary
Huitlacoche
A fungus (almost like a truffle) that grows on corn. It has a unique flavour and is used in coups and salsas.
