Indian food is scientifically delicious
Scientists have figured out what makes Indian food so delicious
Researchers have data crunched 2,500 recipes and found the secret to their success. Indian food, with its hodgepodge of ingredients and intoxicating aromas, is coveted around the world. The labor-intensive cuisine and its mix of spices is more often than not a revelation for those who sit down to eat it for the first time. Heavy doses of cardamom, cayenne, tamarind and other flavors can overwhelm an unfamiliar palate. Together, they help form the pillars of what tastes so good to so many people. But behind the appeal of Indian food — what makes it so novel and so delicious — is also a stranger and subtler truth. In a large new analysis of more than 2,000 popular recipes, data scientists have discovered perhaps the key reason why Indian food tastes so unique: It does something radical with flavors, something very different from what we tend to do in the United States and the rest of Western culture. And it does it at the molecular level. Read the full article here : wsj.com |

Re: Indian food is scientifically delicious
Why delicious Indian food is surprisingly unpopular in the U.S.
I've often thought about this. Indian food has been reduced to putting color in the curry and naming restaurants as Taj Mahal. Also I feel there aren't enough meat choices for Americans in Indian food. Quote:

Re: Indian food is scientifically delicious
sqars , in that chart , Asian excludes indian and includes everything else asian. For example , chinese,thai,persian,afghan etc all come in Asian. If you see in that chart , only Mexican part is huge. Other single country cuisines are still small.

Also, I feel Indian food is not exactly hand food so hasn't taken off in the fast food business. I had some ideas about what Indian fast food can be delivered through the drive-thru.. needs elaborate cooking and time. Not very feasible, not many dishes with red meats ham, beef, etc |

![]() Anyways, coming back to the spend, the pie chart on spend does not necessarily show that Indian fod is 'Cheap'. example, there are 100 restaurants in a town and only 2 are Indian. suppose the total restaurant spend on the town is $25 Million and only $1 Million is spend on Indian Restaurants. it still indicates that the average spend on Indian restaurants is double that of others.

Re: Indian food is scientifically delicious
I dont know about other places but where I live, Indian food is expensive compared to others. For example, for $10 you will get an excellent lunch (salad and a main). If you want the starter and a main course Indian food, you are looking at $15 to $18.

Re: Indian food is scientifically delicious
Buffet is always cheaper compared to A la carte. There are very few desi restaurants that have a buffet costing more than 10-12 bucks in any US city. Now for dinner (A la carte) one can easily expect to pay 15-20 per head.
Thai food is generally quite costly as well, Chinese is cheap (cheap cost and quality), Japanese food in a proper restaurant can be 20-30 per head. |

Re: Indian food is scientifically delicious
I am told its the quite opposite in England where people like Indian food much more and even cook it a bit. This Brit who was invited to dinner at my home in India last year learnt how to cook lentils (dal) from my mom, said he loved Indian cuisine but wanted to control the spice level when he was cooking.
