A:So where is this mystery restaurant that we are going to?
4617B:It’s an Indian restaurant! I know you have never had Indian food, so I thought you might want to try.
4618A:That sounds great! I am craving some type of beef dish.
4619B:Well, Indian cuisine actually doesn’t serve beef. You see, cows are a sacred animal, a very important element inthe Hindu religion, so beef
is not eaten. [ˈhɪnduː]
4620A:I see, so what are we having? Chicken?
4621B:There are many amazing dishes to choose from. We can have some chicken tikka masalawhich is an amazing curry. It’s a bit spicy, but I think
you can handle it.
4622A:Sounds good! I have always heard that Indian spices give a rich flavor to food.
4623B:Yeah. Also, we can have some Naan bread which is baked in a tandoori oven. Since you don’t use any utensils to eat, you can use this bread
to scoop upthe curry or rice.
4624A:What about veggies?
4625B:They have a good variety of vegetable based dishes like palak paneer, vegetable samosas or Daal.
4626It all sounds exquisite! I can’t wait!
