Tastes change with time, my now-teenage daughter doesn't car for Indian food anymore, but she loved my cooking before she became a young lady. Monkey-B though, she is an Indian food addict with no signs of kicking the habit, and it's a pleasure to cook for her because she's so enthusiastic. My wife is the middle road, she likes Indian food, but doesn't think it's amazing 😁. Thanks for stopping by and showing some chutney respect 🤟

Here in South Africa chutney is virtually a national food! Forget condiment. So I get it. Teenagers can be excused for changing their tastes (and minds) during the years that they are no longer children but not quite adults 😎
I forgot you were SA, for some reason I thought you were an Aussie. Well you've got plenty of tasty Indian food there, is there such thing as creolized S African/Indian dishes? That would be an interesting mix of flavors. In Suriname we found that samosas and roti belonged to everyone, not taboo for a Javanese woman to make samosas nor an Indian sell a little nasi goreng, but never really saw any kind of creole food.
Yes it is interesting although the Afrikaaners like their sweet savouries so you lose a lot of that spicy impact which is so wonderful about Indian dishes.
