Mark Wiens back in India -Kerala!!!!

South Indian cuisine , including vegetarian dishes, are simply delicious. I prefer the North Indian desserts tho.

Forget Pakistan and India, there is a change in food if we travel from one state in India to another and that's thousands of varieties.

Indeed, but still there are lots of people(especially outsiders) who are not aware of this fact, this will help them understand that even Indians are not same let alone Pakistan.

Just as different and unique food recipes between in the various Pak provinces.

By spice, if you mean hot-chilly then yes, from my experience North Indian food is hotter. South Indians add coconut milk to reduce the heat.
But if you compare other spices, like cardamom, pepper, ginger etc... then it's more or less the same. Changes with food. If you're looking for sweet dishes then North and North Eastern India have better ones.

Looking at those images is making me hungry. Certainly asians have a lot of variety in our foods and even between different cities, there are big differences in food. I prefer the mixes like available in Malaysia and Singapore. I don't think I can manage the hot chilly foods in India or even Sichuan but I feel some spice is definitely necessary and makes food so much better.

Singapore also has a significant South Indian community so if you ever travel you could try some of their dishes.
Not all dishes are spicy, there are different foods that are rich in other spices and not too hot. You can manage.

There are also a lot of Chinese restaurants in India, whose owners went to China and learned the cooking. I have tried a few Chinese restaurants, but I can't remember the names, besides I don't think I would try many Chinese dishes as I am a vegetarian.

No there is not as much difference in Pakistan as among Indians bcoz of landmass, anyways No one here denied existence of different cultures/ethnicity in Pakistan, its sanghi who want to paint whole subcontinent with one Hindutva color. and want to create Hindu ethnicity& culture (which doesn't exist).

haha there is no interest for RSS to get the whole India into Hindu "culture", there is no one culture, it's a mixture of different cultures, languages, religion united by the idea of a nation called India.

Yes my favorite foods were in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. Some are immediately delicious and very clearly so good and others I have to try several times and then think they are amazing. Lot's of Indian and Chinese restaurants serving almost traditional types of foods for Chinese ones. Most I can see have some changes and mixed influence but the best restaurants I think offers big range of tastes.

Yes not many vegetarians in China except for certain types of Buddhists and of course religions. But most of us eat more vegetables than meat unless for parties or special events where most dishes are seafood and meat but depends which city and province. Young people in China are not becoming vegetarian like many western countries seem to be. But I think this is culture and how we are used to. Pork is main meat in China. In fact the Chinese word for meat is basically equal to pork. I don't prefer it although and respect vegetarians! Much better for animals and the world.

Just wait for the time, right now its about Muslims, if they succeed next would be creating white martial race out of "ugly black Dravidian". I know their complexes very well.

leave it as of now and concentrate on difference b/w Pakistan and India.

How did sanghi come into this discussion?

Anyhow what Pak dishes you would recommend? Not really impressed by Pak restaurant offerings here in Aus

Mace, if you want to check out what Pakistani dishes to try out, then head over to Mark Wiens channel and check his trip to Pakistan. He has covered quite extensively from north to south, what are the various dishes. Taste of dishes varies from restaurant to restaurant. I live in Lahore and we have like 100s of choices to eat channay. Dish is the same but some cook it better. Personally, I love chappli kabab from Peshawar and balochi sajji. I saw Mark's adventure in Kerala, it was an amazing experience. Him boat riding and enjoying tasty coconut oil fishes.
