Tim Carman takes over First Bite duties for Tom Sietsema this week with a look at Silver Spring's Jewel of India. The restaurant can be found residing in a strip mall "that smacks of a budget-minded Rasika, right down to the strands of costume jewelry hanging over a banquette." Carman's first bite of the Indo-Chinese chili paneer "was a visceral, watershed moment, as two distinct culinary spheres intersected in total harmony." Then, six bites in, he got over it. [WaPo]
