Oh! what irks me is when Americans add extra 'u's to words not spelled with the letter 'u' here.

It is a Canadian thing too- I spell it colour, not color. for example.

The middle ages saw a lot of movement of people and goods between southern europe, the middle east and india. A lot of things originated in one area, took root in another, got adopted as their own.

For example, I'm Bengali Hindu but our women ululate at weddings. No other ethnicity in India does that, to my knowledge. That comes from somewhere in the ME/NA. But it's ours now.

To the question of biryani, who knows? It's Indian and it's Pakistani and it's Bangladeshi (remember, the distinction is just 60 years old). Origins? Persia, probably. The early Mughal emperors of India referred to themselves as "Turki", which could refer to any of the early Turkic people. Did they bring biryani or did some entrepreneur from Persia open up a biryani shop on the "conquer India highway" from the ME into northwestern India? I don't know.

For the non-Americans, it's totally kosher!

I've always been partial to a good chicken dhansak. Unfortunately I can't seem to find any indian restaurants out here that approach Brick Lane quality.

My wife made me butter chicken every time I visited her before we got married.

After marriage, over two years now, maybe 3 times

I hear the Indian food in the UK is very Punjabi/Kashmiri in style. Out here the Indian diaspora of an entirely different ethnic stock, so that could be why.

To me, butter chicken is one of the easier Indian dishes to make.

Butter chicken is one of my favourite Indian foods, along with sag aloo and vegetable biryani. Okay, now I really AM hungry.

When hubster came here and we hit our Indian community to sample all of the restaurants, he found them of course different from the UK versions. But when we went to India he found that our Indian community restaurants were much closer to India Indian food than what he'd grown up with in the UK. He says they make 'em a lot hotter in the UK for folks wanting to prove how hard they are... I can eat the hottest thing on the menu, me!
