Every country can be equally good or bad. India has its pros and cons. Imagine Hindus who are vegetarian and land up in a country where meat, beef and pork are consumed as staple. They would have a tough time adapting to the food and culture but ... Read More

Fred, North Indian and Pakistani curries are mild when compared to the fiery Andhra, Naga and Chettinad curries. The South Indian and North Eastern Indian curries are for grown-ups, not for kids who like North Indian and Pakistani curries. ;-) Read More

Fred, The best Indian curries are from South India. Have you ever tried Kerala's curries? Expats love the curries from there as they are light on the tummy and less spicy. Curries can be easily cooked at home without a lot of effort involved. Read More
