I was wandering across some Indian food sites and came across this unusual recipe.
10 minute meal
burritos
black beans (canned)
onion
tomato sauce (1 can)
coriander powder
chili powder
garam masala
turmeric
cumin powder
asafoetida
salt
amchur
shredded cheese (cheddar sharp preferable)
fry onions until really dark brown
add the spices and tomato sauce
fry 3 minutes
cook until you feel good.
add black beans. cook some more. boil until bubbly.
Put burritos in microwave for a minute with a handful of cheese and what you just made.
Heat for a minute.
It's done.
Go love it.

I'm confused. Does the author of that mean for a burrito to be made from the beans and cheese and a tortilla? - chapati? -?- , or for a plate to be made up from a purchased burrito and the beans, topped by cheese?

I think the person meant tortilla instead of burrito. But since you cook until you feel good, no problem.

The spices are Indian, but not the ingredients. The only cheese I've seen there is their 'cottage cheese', and I don't think I've ever had a dish with beans, they do have lots of different kinds of lentils though.

Just as there are Indian-Mexican restaurants in my neighborhood, I saw that the website in question had a Mexican section -- so there are clearly numerous affinities on the part of the Indians for Mexican food and spices. I wonder if the Mexicans are attracted to Indian food in the same way.

Would that they were! I imagine there might be Indian restaurants in Mex.City, but nothing from La India around here.  I certainly can't buy any specifically Indian ingredients here. |

The problem with Indian food is that there is so much badly prepared Indian food.
The OP's recipe is yet another example.
I take it that K2 did not actually make that slop?
I will never go to another Indian buffet restaurant. I've never had a really good meal at one. Maybe a few decent dishes, but overall, bad.

I think one of the best crab curries I ever had was at a curry buffet in the Intercon Karachi.
But otherwise it's quite unusual to find Indian buffets here in SEA.

The Intercon Karachi is a much higher level of restaurant than I've had the privilege of dining in. Most of my dismal Indian buffet history has been in the highly overrated Star of India in Little Rock, AR and some forgettable place in San Rafael, CA. (And I have forgotten the name.)
My wife and I did have a very tasty meal at Zoroka, in New Haven, CT, but we made a point of ordering off the dinner menu, even though the lunch buffet was offered at a "bargain" price.

"I don't even know what some of those ingredients are."
That's a relief.

I do know what all the ingredients are except amchur so I just asked my Indian friend and have all of it on hand most times except the black beans and burittos. It's a dried green mango powder used for it's souring quality.
