And no its no where close to rice in a burritto. Its rice in somethign like soup, except traditionally we have 3 courses of rice in soup. First is a thick soup, second is the famous rice in "mulligatawny" soup, and third its rice and yogurt ... In fact I cant eat that for more than 3-4 days in a row.
Cool.

When I worked at Apple, I had Indian friends who were over here on visa's stealing our jobs - LOL Anyway, I became good fishing buddies with several, and was invited many times to their homes for meals that their wives prepared, and srinath is right; home cooking is quite different and more subdued. That said, Indian restaurants are still among my very favorite cuisines. Granted, the food is rich and you can't eat it everyday, but the tastes will take you to extremes of flavor. In fact, I suggested to one of my friends that an Indian fast food franchise might be a viable enterprise...
Colonel Punjabs Tandoori Chicken
The menu would, of course, feature a bucket of the Colonel's best, but also tasty side dishes similar to what sit down restaurants offer. If you are a midwestern meat & spuds kinda person, this may not have much appeal (I used to ride with one). However, for all those who enjoy culinary exploration, as I do, I think this type of place could fly, especially here in California.
