oh lots of restaurants here have staff from Nepal and Bangladesh. The food still is rather Punjabi. I enjoyed the food in the UK. Don't blame them though... I remember in the 80s, we had to make do with whatever spices we got locally in Rome (especially when we ran out of the stock we would bring) and it would taste like the "curry" today. Restaurants also had to make do as regular spices imported were sooooo expensive! So, I do enjoy the rendition, it brings back lots of memories. "Curry" was a word Brits brought back and a lot of Indian restaurants never corrected it. Customer is King, no?! :)

I still remember the Gujarati place by Leeds (I think) that did a Gujarati inspired recipes with local vegetables. Absolutely delicious!

But at least in this part of the US, the awareness comes about regional differences. So, I think that's why the use of "curry" throws me off, as it's a rarer occurrence.

And the British Curry is very popular in India now!! :)
