Discovering Indian cuisine

The QC Lab manager at work has moved to North Carolina, and yesterday a group of us went to lunch with him to send him off. He happens to be Indian, and he wanted us to experience his native cuisine before he left.

So we met at a place here in Macon. I have never had Indian food in my entire life, and I had no idea what to expect. But, I was excited to try something new.

We all decided that the lunch buffet was the way to go, so we could try different things to see what we liked. To drink, our friend ordered us a traditional drink that was made from fresh mangos. It was very much like a smoothie, and it was delicious.

I don't remember what all the names of the dishes were, but everything was very good. I was surprised to find several dishes were prepared with meat. I thought that traditionally, it was vegetarian. There was chicken, lamb, and I think goat dishes on the full menu, but that day there wasn't ant goat on the buffet.

I have to admit that everything I had was so good!!! I tried several things, and I ate so much I thought that I was going to bust, andPublish Post I can't wait to go back.

Who knows what I'll try next??
