印度菜不是辣，但是很香辣。Indian food isn't (hot) spicy but it is (fragrant) spicy.

[KX3.]

Another, more accurate way would be to switch 但是 for 而是: 印度菜不是辣，而是香辣。Indian food is not spicy, but (rather) a fragrant sort of spicy. It is still hot spicy, but it is fragrant to boot. Here the structure, as it were, would be 不是。。。而是 i.e. not (this) but rather (that). Good job and I certainly agree, it is delicious! :)

I would probably say it 印度菜不辣，可是很香辣。My Chinese teacher said 可是 is more colloquial, and also 是 is not used for adjectives (是辣 should be 很辣, except in the case of it being not spicy, which is 不辣)

Try some recipes from Andhra Pradesh, you might change your mind :)

What about; "Is the Indian cuisine spicy?"

[DaiszyRay]

Why is the "the" wrong here?

[Chronomatex]

No "is" verb here?

[CinnamonTe1]

Noun + 很 + adjective

他很高 - He is tall.
他高吗 - Is he tall?

In questions, 很 is not used before adjectives unless it means "very".
