Indian Food and Indian Restaurants are common in many parts of the world , but in my pocket of the world they
seem to be few and far between. I realized that many Americans may not be accustomed to Indian Food; what to order at an
Indian Restaurant or the proper way to eat Indian Food. Since I grew up eating Indian Food, it is natural for me to tear my
naan up and soak up the yummy curry. That is why I wanted to put together a short article outlining some common Indian dishes
and what you may want to order at an Indian Restaurant. I hope this will encourage you to give Indian Food a try.
