When I first came from India to Us(we were in port chester, NY then) I so desperately wanted to see Indians and I just couldn't find any other desis other than us. Now that I am in NJ its opposite. There are a whole lot of Indians and somehow not all of them are friendly. They have this " don't bother us" kind of look on their face. <BR/>Anyways coming to your red curry...it looks gorgeous Sandeepa. There is a Thai place called Four Seasons very close to my place and they have best Thai food that we have had till date. Your curry looks exactly like theirs. Now thats a compliment. I am serious!!!Lovely. I am gonna try it with some veggies.Seema Bhathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09137570316951599838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-63019325468014110842007-04-12T13:50:00.000-04:002007-04-12T13:50:00.000-04:00Hey Sandeepa, since this dish is dedicated to frie...Hey Sandeepa, since this dish is dedicated to friendship, i guess i'll make this for my friend when she visits me over the weekend, and share this story with her :)<BR/><BR/>here's to friendship :)musicalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07166797277993509485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-85554333603042668892007-04-12T11:13:00.000-04:002007-04-12T11:13:00.000-04:00This is funny, I am a Probashi Bangali and don't h...This is funny, I am a Probashi Bangali and don't have Bangaliana as you say (took some time to figure that word) and I cringe whenever I am told to get aquainted just because you hear a bangla word dropped.
