Keeping it real, desi ishtyle

Get London Curry using your mobile phone.

Google maps has a new beta feature that allows you to locate yourself on a map, without using a GPS. Of course to help non-techies understand what they do, they made a video. The point of the video is to locate a place that sells the famous London Curry (Aka. Chicken Tikka Masala). Since when did CTM become a British food? Apparently it is British, exported via a fob from Bangladesh. [Via]

Anyways, here is the video and you can download the google maps for your mobile phone (smart phones) here.

  • BPSK, you are welcome. My location thing does not work, but I have a GPS, plus the product is still in beta. I wish they had turn by turn directions. It would make life so much more easier.

  • Thanks for the post guys. I was actually able to download this to my Verizon phone (non-GPS) in the US as well. Works reasonably well. (www.google.com/gmm)

    Btw, on the CTM angle, UK ex-Foreign Secratery Jack Straw once was quoted as saying that "[something] is as British as Chicken Tikka Masala"

  • Even the cooks who originally created CTM hailed from this specific region in Bangladesh. I forget the details but yes, it is the first truly westernized desi dish.

  • CTM was first created by Bangladeshi cooks in the U.K. So technically it is a British food of Bangladeshi origin.

    No way. Really? I thought it was as Indian as Ambassadors.
