Anyone into making Indian food?

10. Wow! Thanks, all, for the great replies!

Checking out all the links and brands ASAP. I have tried the Kikkoman curry sauce (the yellow one) and it was OK, just not as strong as I'd like--obviously "Americanized" like too many things. So many cooking sites are just junk, using stolen copy, improper measurements, etc. Always good to have a friend's opinion before searching on my own. Mucho gracias!

Slightly OT, but I have read repeatedly that India has the lowest rate of Alzheimer's. Some scientists believe it's likely the turmeric has protective properties.

Since it runs in my family, I have started putting turmeric in scrambled eggs, chess pie, and anything that is naturally yellow (and some things that aren't!), since it doesn't have a lot of flavor IMO.
