its not an issue about desi food, this thread just triggered it

and i have asked NUMEROUS times for people to speak english or translate what theyre saying and they dont. its rude. im lebanese you dont see me posting arabic everywhere or talking about how baalbak is the coolest place in the world, or how chicken shawarma is the best food, or how getting plastic surgery is the best idea in the world and everone should do it. because im respectful that this isnt an arab forum. if i was on an arab forum id talk about all this crap but im not.

regardless if its desi dominated or not, its not DESIISLAMICA.COM. and its kind of annoying. thats all.

ps: u all smell like curry.

^those all look like theyd classify as appetizers

and korma is like gourmet saalan, in my opinion. it's very rich and dark and tasteful. so it makes sense your community wouldnt be into it

bahahaahah

anyways i voted for biryani and tandoori/tikka...those are my favorites because if i were to go to a buffet or a wedding and they had a bunch of food, id eat either or both of those

for heba: biryani = Biryani - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

tikka = Chicken tikka - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

the latter two aren't really appetizers.. they're usually served on the side with some salan dish or whatever, but they're still very heavy and can be a meal on their own
