I don't go for 'a lot of fruit' in a curry. Has to be just a hint.
As for Indian food in India, I've had some great breakfasts there, especially in the South. Dosas and Idli are particular favourites.
I've also had some excellent veg thalis, again especially in places like Kerala and Tamil Nadu.
For meat curries I prefer the Indian food cooked outside India. Rogan Josh has always been a great favourite of mine, but a made it myself for the first time a few weeks ago and it was soooo much better with quality NZ lamb than with the stuff they serve in India and most of BKK.
I think this is basically the difference. Just looking in a lot of market stalls at the general quality of meat and veg available in the larger cities of India is a pretty sorry sight - especially the meat.
I know it's a bit of a cliche, but anyone lacking a battle hardened digestive system is taking a chance with meat curries in India.
