Food and Cooking

So I've eaten everything from sardines and toast to balut. I have never really found foods I don't enjoy, except for Indian food..and balut but that's a whole other story.

I find it's always the same, overkill on spices, sauce and rice. It's very unappealing to me for some reason. Almost seems very...lacking in textures, visuals and the flavors are typically just overpowering of cumin. Sometimes it's been fancy and I had sauce on rice, with a side of more sauces. There never seems to be substance to the foods but sauce and rice.

Granted I haven't explored too much with Indian food but it always looks the same to me. Saying just sauce might be a bit harsh, sometimes it more like stew because there's chunks of chicken or whatnot but it's always the same flavor.

Can you recommend something from Indian culture that isn't what I have described above?
