I've been wanting to try out this place for ages, but parking is hard and am too lazy to walk to the skytrain stations.

In terms of South Asians as a whole, there are 2.5 million in Canada and 4.5 million in the U.S. Again however, given that Canada is only 1/9th the population of the U.S - South Asian's are simply a more visible and prominent demographic in Canada.

It really shows in grocery stores. We expect to see a wide variety of Indian products from the different breads, chutneys, pre-made curries, packets of spices to make a curry and in larger stores bags of Indian spices. Plus pre-made side dishes direct from India. Funny though, one brand of Indian food I like, is from the US, called Jyoti.

I have to be honest. If I cook at home its more basic meat and potatoes, stews and bacon and eggs fair lol. If I eat more diverse fair - which I do its almost always take out

I have the time to cook

Plus I love it. When we renovated a few years back, the kitchen was top priority.

However the only Indian food I've made from scratch was Butter Chicken.

The rest I buy packets that have the spices already mixed. My favourites are from a local company in Surrey called Spice Works. They do other things besides Indian, and it's very easy and tasty. Best Butter Chicken than jarred sauces IMO.

Maybe give them a try.
