Harry:Yes,I know. That is why when you asked me to come I was so excited. I've been wanting to try it for quite some time.So,what do you suggest?
Susan:Well,everyone who eats Indian food usually likes Tandoori chicken. It is a simple dish of chicken that has been covered with spices and then roasted.
Harry:Sounds delicious.What else?
Susan:My favorite is spicy lamb curry. Do you like to eat lamb?
Harry:I love mutton,but I am unable to eat spicy food. It is too hard on my stomach.
Susan:Well,then I'll order the mild lamb curry for you and I'll get the spicy shrimp curry.
Harry:Fine.What about rice? Isn't it traditional to eat curry with rice?
Susan:That's right! Are you sure you haven't eaten Indian food before? I'll order us both a plate of saffron rice. We need some bread,too. There is a traditional Indian bread called nan. It tastes great with curry and rice. I'll also order us both a plate of nan.
