Hi There,

Just posting to say "hi" from a fat overweight male who has the huge misfortune of working with many talented Indian people?

Why?

Well you are all such fantastic cooks and your just putting me to shame when you bring all your flavoured food into work and my cooking skills are so bad, kids even put me to shame.

So...  ...I did a search on the internet and saw that India Forums has a cooking section and this is what brings me here.  I am hoping that the members of the board will be able to point me in the right direction so I can learn to cook some quality Indian food myself rather then eat the takeaways (although nice) the food that my work friends bring in is so much better, it does not compare.

Money is no object - I don't care what I waste trying to cook and destory - I just want to be able to pratice on myself a bit and then in a few months time make something wonderful for the people at work.

I was also under the mis-understanding that all areas of India liked hot food.  But I now understand that some regions prefer a fish based dish and so on.  So I think that I would like to apprichate and understand that side of the cooking as well.

Yes, lots to do, lots to learn but thank you for being here.

All the best (and hello). 

hello, this is zanjeeph, good to see all of you here.
