Query: Family Friendly: We've never had Indian food before / My family hates curry. Should we still try this?
Context: If you've never had Indian food before, this is the perfect place to start. Indian Butter chicken is flavorful and spiced, but not spicy. If you hate curry, you're probably responding to ready-made curry powder. This doesn't use curry powder. If you are unusually sensitive to cinnamon taste, this may taste very cinnamony to you if your garam masala has too much. If you're allergic to cinnamon, omit that from the garam masala and use 1 teaspoon of allspice berries instead. Invite a friend that you know loves Indian food, and try it so the food won't be wasted and your friend will be happy :) If all else fails, lie to your family and say this is an Italian (substitute cuisine of preference here) dish and see if they notice.
