I almost guarantee he didn't. Seen way too many buffet plates just like that.
Besides, the plastic cups are a tell.
You're talking at least one Tandoor, two if they do the chicken and Naan separately. A deep fryer for the samosa. The entrees and rice are doable at home, but you're looking at at least 25-30 spices. [Reply]

I didn't look that close. But you can do all of that without a tandoor. I've done naan in a 12-inch skillet. Not exactly like you'd get at a restaurant, but close enough you couldn't tell a difference in a picture. You don't need a deep fryer to deep fry - I do it semi regularly in a Dutch oven. [Reply]

Oh they're outrageous. Check out the minis in Publix. They came in a bag and are more affordable. The big ones run even higher and they're way too big. [Reply]

I guess I should try Indian food. I must have some preconceived notions about the culture and food. Feeding rats, sacred cows and rape is not something I associate with a good meal. [Reply]

Indian is delicious, I'd start with the mild stuff. Find a reputable buffet.
It's not that the spicy stuff is off-putting, but the mild stuff is so different and wonderful and you wouldn't know it from the spicy stuff.
There really isn't another cuisine like it. It's a lot like casseroles or pot luck, in that the food is slow cooked in sauce, which makes it perfect for buffet or cafeteria style fast food, just spoon a ladleful over rice. And the sauces rely on complex spice mixes. [Reply]
