Excellent, can't wait!

 

Hello and welcome all, I stopped posting/reading at the site that shall not be named, and I realized I do miss a few communities I was sort of active in, so hopefully this can become a good resource to discuss and share recipes from South Asia, and to discuss the sub continental food in general. Introduce yourself if you want, share your thoughts and recipes!

For the curry: Onions: 200g - 250g sliced long Garlic: 2 tbsp sliced Melon Seeds: 1 tbsp (ground & powdered) Poppy Seeds: 1 tsp (ground & powdered) Rose essence/Kevda: pinch Whole spices: Bay leaf- 2, Cinnamon stick- 1, Star Anise- 1, Whole Black pepper - 10, Black Cardamom, crushed - 2, Green Cardamon, crushed - 4, Cloves -5 Yogurt: 1/2 Cup Water: 1 1/2 Cup Ghee: 1/4 cup Salt: To taste

For the garnish: Ginger: 1 tbsp julienne Coriander: 1/4 handful Green Chili, de-seeded and finely sliced: 1

Marinate chicken with the yogurt and the other marinade ingredients for a few hours

In ghee on medium flame, add in the whole spices till they crackle and release their aroma (a minute or so).

Add onions and caramelize till dark brown, add garlic and cook for a few minutes, then add the pumpkin and poppy seed powder, stir them in. Then add in the chicken with the marinade, stir for 5 minutes or so till lightly brown, add in the plain yogurt and water, cook till tender and almost off the bone. Once done, add in a pinch of rose essence.

Garnish with sliced ginger, coriander, de-seeded sliced green chill, serve with a naan bread.

 

Ingredients Urad Sabut/Black Dal - 2 cups Rajma/kidney beans - 1/2 cup Cinnamon stick - 1 Bay Leaf -1 Black Cardamon -1 Grated ginger - 3 inches Water - to cover over the soaked lentils by 2-3 inches

Wash dal thoroughly by rubbing between fingers, at least thrice, the last wash is with warm water, soak them over night, then add all ingredients with the dal, and cook in crockpot on low heat with pressure on for 6 to 8 hours, or on a slow cooker for 6 to 8 hours or till tender. The washing step is key to get the red color in the dal, and the runoff will be dark in color during the wash.

Cook on low heat for 30 minutes to 45 minutes till creamy, dilute with milk or water if required, garnish with butter/cream if desired.

Have a European car and a Japanese one, one is 6 yrs old, one is 8. The Japanese one has only got regular service so far with no additional work done, besides a battery change at year 4. The European one, I have changed small obscure electronic parts to rebuilding the engine head from a donor engine, that essentially cost 1/5 of the insurance value of the car. The European one rides well, is nicely tuned, but I am going all jap in my next change lol.

European car parts are also about 3 times the cost of the Korean ones, and at least double of the Japanese ones, so servicing the car in the company workshop costs about 3 times as much as servicing an Asian car (in my country). If your country has a good service network for Japanese cars, like a Toyota, Honda or Suzuki, consider them, the total cost of ownership can be much lower in my opinion. If your country doesn't have that advantage, then the point is moot.

Triangle, it's a little known film that I have on my NAS and finally saw it one day. I won't say much about it, but see it.

Damn, my 3T started giving out 2 and a half years ago and I got a S20+, and debloated the 3T and only use it to stream spotify or maybe stream stuff to a chromecast once in a while, surprisingly, it's been working fine since lol. I like the cleaner experience the galaxy series has, would also like to hear what are the recommendations now.
