"Hi, I have been using this site for a while and
have to let you know that this is the site for Indian recipes. I have found recipes for so
many dishes that I only ate at restaurants while I was in India almost 10 years ago and I
actually get the same taste by following the recipe. I'm truly grateful for the
site".
