*hot*hot*hot* Indian food

Is there any Indian food that won't burn my mouth out?  If ordered 'mild' in a restaurant, is it *really* mild (or just mild for an Indian? lol).

@ Alliecat inform the chef before you order whether you want mild or storm spicy as per your order it will b served

Wilson, I used to know how to say 'no chilies' in Chinese and it came in very handy there!

How to say 'no chilies' in Hindi?  Type it out phonetically, please?  I need to practice :D

mirchi nahi chaiye ( don't want chilies), or toda spice kam rakna(keep it little)

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo .. I can't handle hot food.  Really.  I have some Indian friends here in Riyadh and a few of us were invited to their home for dinner and the wife, who knows I don't eat *hot*, assured me that mine wasn't hot.  Guess what?  Maybe not hot for an Indian LOL  but very hot for me.  I ate as much as I could to be polite .. along with several glasses of water ;)

Actually,I think this India trip will be a good weight loss plan :lol:  and trust me, I won't be staying at five star hotels!

Blessing in Disguise..... BTW, I didn't mentioned for staying at 5 star, I said for having food !! :D

Hell, I can't even afford 5* for a meal!  It's crazy here in Riyadh.. went to the 4 Seasons and had a hamburger that cost me $40 !  That's just insaneeeeeeeeeeee... but it's easy to get a distorted sense of money here because you can just be SO desperate to *do* something that you'll pay anything.  It's how the embassies get away with charging so much for any little thing they offer.

A good meal for a single person at five star in India would set you back by 50-60$ only. C'mon obviously exclusive of drinks !!:P

As a thumb rule in general the cost is 1/3 to 1/4th as compared to KSA for almost everything except the fuel cost which is 20 times !! :)

You will get the seafood but I don't know the areas where you can get the best one. Try to look for if there is a Chain of Mahesh Lunch Home, They are among the best sea food chain in india. But dunno if it is in delhi !!

May be delhi guys can put some more light on this !!:)

Wow, you made me think of something.  I know you guys don't eat beef so what is an Indian 'hamburger' made of??

The 'no beef' thing isn't a biggie for me.  I pretty much gave up lamb and beef living in KSA.  And of course there is no pork here.  So at this point, I've eaten so much chicken I probably have a few feathers sprouting somewhere and can lay eggs! :D

Hyderabad Biryani and not SPICY, really difficult to believe. BTW, hyderabadi biryani is the most delicious/spicy/tasty food in the whole of Hyderabd. Just thinking of it made my mouth to water !!:D

i dunno, i ordered chicken biryani and veggie biryani and not spicy at all...maybe they made it non spicy cuz im american? no idea. but when i asked my tour guide 'what do kids eat in india' he said "i dont know, biryani" but anyway, i miss india's food :(

:) no prob!

Allie: I had the same issue when I went to India , and whenever I ordered mild it was still too spicy for me.

Then I started saying "No spices no chilli" and that sort of worked in a majority of cases. If you just say mild then the cook will make it mild according to his own taste but if you specify no chilli then he will not add chilli.
