We wanted to make something good tonight so we made Gatte Ki Subzi together ❤️
A Rajasthani dish made of besan dumplings in yogurt sauce, it is one of our favorite dishes.
We are thinking about doing something more elaborate like this every Thursday evening as a way to start the weekend a bit early (since we both have WFH on Fridays 😊).
Finally got around to making the Paneer last night. Decided to make Paneer Khurchan. One of our favorite restaurants in Chicago (“Essence of India” in Lincoln Square) does it really well and we were craving it. It is not a dish you often see on a menu here in the US.
I don't care where you got your whole urad daal (black lentils) or that you're going to pressure cook - make sure you pick through first before rinsing and using
Got myself a one-person feast at Desi Bites in #Beaverton! 😆🎉 They’re not “Abhiruchi level” (i.e. the best #Indian food in all of #PDX, except located in Vancouver WA) but I loved getting a bit of everything with their vegetarian thali which comes with a single bite of dessert - the perfect portion! The egg curry was a bit too sweet for me, but I’m coming back for #vegan sambar on Tuesdays!
(I went to see Monkey Man afterwards, which sadly contained 0% Indian food… but 500% Dev Patel! 🇮🇳🔥)

I can agree in principle with all her tenets. I strongly doubt, however, that the many points she suggests as remedies will be nearly enough to bring #GlobalWarming back to the 1.5°C target (even adjusted for #Agriculture's impact,) as...
Perfect for a wet dreary evening: pakodas appetizer - mostly onions, chiles, cilantro, and some besan (+salt, chile powder) to bring it all together. Enough liquid in them onions to wet and hold it all. #Food#Cooking#Indian
#Malaysia's #Assam state has scrapped an 89 yr old law allowing marriage involving #underage#Muslims, against opposition from leaders of minority community who called the plan an attempt to polarise voters on religious lines ahead of elections.
Assam, which has thighest percentage of Muslims among #Indian states at 34%, has previously said it wants to implement uniform #CivilLaws for marriage, divorce, adoption & inheritance.
On Feb 18, 1946, approx. 2,000 #Indian sailors initiated a #revolt in #Mumbai, leading to the deaths of around 400 individuals by security forces’ gunfire. As the #IndianNavy laid a wreath at the Naval Uprising memorial in Cooperage on Sunday, memories of this revolt are revived, honouring the sailors whose act of bravery sparked the #mutiny’s spread to places like #Karachi, #Aden, and #SoutheastAsia, sending a clear message to the #British to relinquish their dominion.
I really don't like how all these phone #scammers from #India have primed me to suspect everyone with an #indian accent of being a scammer. It feels racist to think about, and I know the vast majority of indians aren't engaging in this sort of organized crime, and it's their government's fault for enabling it.
Hopefully international pressure can get the Indian government to do something about the level of organized crime in their country.

I've always thought it was so strange how "curry powder" in the US all tastes exactly the same--terrible. Somehow every supplier mixes it to taste identical. As a kid I thought it was literally ground up "curry" and as a result I thought I hated Indian cuisine. Not until adulthood did I realize how amazing and varied Indian food is.
Anyway, it wasn't until TODAY that I decided to actually look up the origin of that strange yellow powder that makes everything taste the same. And wow, I really shouldn't be surprised.
I know so many people who claim they don't like Indian cuisine and I always assume they're mistaken because HOW could you not love it?! I blame the "curry powder".
