It's how they prepare them. They don't know how to disinfect dish-ware, cutting tools, wash hands and protect food from elements. I feel like puking when I smell curry.

If I read correctly, it was not how the cooks handled the food. What caused the deaths was the oil used to cook the food. The oil was stored in a container that was used to store insecticide previously. This container of cooking oil was bought by the principal of that school from a store owned by her husband. When news broke out that the children were getting sick and dying, the principal disappeared.

I'm referring to Indians I've personally witnessed handled food.

I once went to an Indian restaurant in San Francisco. That was my first and last time going to an Indian restaurant.
