Some modern Indian restaurants might use MSG, especially in fusion dishes or if they are trying to cater to a certain taste, but it's not common in traditional recipes.
Most Indian home cooks and traditional restaurants don't use MSG. They depend on fresh ingredients and spices for that umami kick!
Hot take: MSG doesn't belong in authentic Indian food. Stick to the traditional spices like cumin and coriander for real flavor.
