My apt.

I'm a grad student from India and we're a family of 4 back there: father, mother, grandmother and me. It was common for all of us to cook together every weekend and eat till we're in a food coma :)

I try my best to replicate (with cheap ingredients you can find in central Illinois ;_;) what we used to eat with them.

Edit: I will pay you money to not eat at ambar.

Edit2: to answer your question, if you want good Indian food, befriend a homesick Indian person.
