[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why shouldn't Indian food be expensive? [/quote]
Again, vegetarian based ingredients. [b]It’s understandable why a seafood restaurant would be expensive due to the cost and short shelf life of fish. My go to Indian order is usually a samosa[/b] (pastry, peas, potato and spices) garlic naan (flour, oil and spices) and a palak paneer (spinach, paneer, oil/butter and spices). It has nothing to do with the food being Indian. I usually end up spending close to what I would spend on sushi at an Indian restaurant and to me based on ingredients it never made sense and portions are usually on the smaller side. [/quote]
Omg I had to comment on this blatant ignorance. Have you any clue how to make a samosa. It's very labor intensive and surprising the cheaper prices they charge for this. So much easier to buy expensive fish and cook it for 2 min vs making samosas for 2 hours![/quote]
Samosas are actually quite quick to make for an experienced cook.[/quote]

Not nearly as quick as making fresh fish, you didn't say anything that negated their comment.

It takes longer for the filling alone for Samosas, let alone the handmade dough and then actually filling them and cooking them.

It's essentially the same as handmade ravioli but somehow the premium for ravioli made from handmade dough and handfilled with handmade filling is ok, but not the premium for samosas?

ok.[/quote]
Feel free to pay double if you want. We make samosas regularly at home and it’s really not complicated.[/quote]
