#Chicken Handi Masala

Inspired by those two fics, go read them first! -> Oh oh sexy vampire (NSFW) -> My roommate is a vampire! Kudos if you got the title reference

Indoor Boyfriend

Matthew wanted to repay you for all the dinners you gave him with an attempt of his own.

character: Vampire AU Matthew Patel (Scott Pilgrim Takes Off) words: 1,1k reader: gender neutral warnings: none

𝔯𝔲𝔩𝔢𝔰 + 𝔪𝔞𝔰𝔱𝔢𝔯𝔩𝔦𝔰𝔱 / 𝔖𝔠𝔬𝔱𝔱 𝔓𝔦𝔩𝔤𝔯𝔦𝔪 𝔗𝔞𝔨𝔢𝔰 𝔒𝔣𝔣 𝔪𝔞𝔰𝔱𝔢𝔯𝔩𝔦𝔰𝔱

Few weeks went by ever since you (kind of unwillingly) adopted a stay-at-home vampire. Even if the deal didn't really favor you, you got used to this way of living. It wasn't that bad, though. Now, instead of one creature that depended on and loved you, you had two! And he could hold a conversation with you, unlike your pet.

You felt relief after finally arriving at your doorstep. Today has been busy as hell, and you couldn't wait to just melt on your couch and do nothing for the rest of the day. You could even say, you were looking forward to lazily cuddle with Matthew. Most days his attachment to you felt overbearing, especially when you wanted to be left alone. It took you some time to get used to living with someone, but on the rare occasions you craved affection, it came in pretty handy.

Coming inside, you expected to find your roommate (boyfriend? you didn't really have a discussion about what you two were yet) sleeping upside down on your bed, per usual. He would wake up just as you walked through the doors to your bedroom, getting all giddy from seeing you again. Depending on your mood, it was one of the highlights of your day - you appreciated someone caring enough to be happy about your arrival, aside from your pet. With that thought, you walked thru the hall, not expecting any changes in your routine.

It didn't take long for you to smell the nice aroma lingering around the house, lightly tickling your nostrils. It was- uncanny, to say the least. You quickly investigated the source of the smell, leading straight to your kitchen. There, you saw your counter full of dirty bowls, cooking supplies, lots of spices laying around, and your vampire standing in the middle of it all. Astonishment overtook your face. The sound of your footsteps alerted him, turning on his heel he faced your way.

"You're back!" He beamed, holding the wooden spoon in his grip. He quickly put it back it into the pot, intending to run up to you and greet you properly with a joyous embrace.

"You're gonna clean that up, right?" You were quick to ask the most important question, making him stop in his tracks.

"I-" He got taken aback, clearly expecting a different reaction from you, "I made you dinner, and that's the first thing you say to me after coming home? Not even a hello?" The bangs covered half of his pout as he crossed his arms in dismay. You realized you came off way too harsh, too occupied with the mess to acknowledge his efforts.

"Right- sorry," you resumed to your regular tone instead. His expression softened, returning to his usual self. You approached the man with curiosity, smelling the unfamiliar scent of spicy food in your house. "What's this?"

"Well- as I already said, I tried to make something for you," he suddenly turned a bit coy after seeing your cocked eyebrow, "I don't really know if it came out right, human food doesn't really taste good to me, but I carefully followed the recipe I found on the internet, so..." His explanation made you smile, you felt nice knowing he prepared it specifically for you, even if he knew jackshit about your diet. You looked inside the pot as he continued, "It's called uh, tikka masala? I just thought it looked good." He judged your stare, hoping it would be something up to your liking.

You fished out the wooden spoon, grabbing a piece of sauce covered chicken with it. It didn't look inedible, on the contrary, it smelled really good. You were quite surprised he managed to not burn it, assuming it was his first time cooking anything. You guessed he had a lot of time to spare and made sure he did it correctly. He watched intently over your shoulder as the chicken disappeared from the spoon and into your mouth.

First thing you felt was... Hot. Hot, spicy, burning nightmare. You felt the tears gather in the corner of your eyes, quickly dropping the spoon back where it was, running up to your fridge to get some milk. He just stood there, wide eyed at your intense reaction. "Man, it's spicy as fuck," you wiped the droplets of milk stuck to the corner of your lips, "did you throw the whole packet of chilli into it?"

He grinned bashfully, rubbing his arm, "I... May have overdone it a little. I tried it myself, and couldn't taste it at all, so I poured more until I finally felt it sting. Which- thinking about it now, might have been because vampires aren't meant to feel much flavor." You didn't comment, choosing to point out his stupidity with a simple, disappointed sigh. "B-But I made everything else correctly, right?" Slight hope reflected in his eyes, even if the odds were against him. After you calmed down from the sudden assault of your tastebuds, you took a moment to actually process what you ate. Aside from the overwhelming spiciness, the dish was actually quite tasty. He waited with bated breath for your review.

"Mm... Yeah, skipping the fuckton of chilli, it was pretty good." A big, proud smile formed on his face.

"So- Are you gonna eat it?" He asked, leaving you in an awkward position. You didn't really wanna break his heart (or waste any food) by refusing his gift, just because it destroyed your tongue. You didn't expect to come back home just to feel guilty about your dinner. You sighed, giving up.

"Yeah, I guess I will. Can't wait for that tummy ache," you complained, but still made sure to reward his behavior - he had good intentions. A soft peck on his cheek made him flash you his sharp, pointy teeth in delight.

Even though the dinner physically hurt you, after some time you just ignored the the numbness in your mouth. Overall, it was a 6/10 experience. Matthew watched you as if your reaction would differ with each bite, which you thought was adorably stupid. Done with this painful experience, you finally got to do what you planned from the beginning - that is, absolutely nothing. You lazily laid yourself on the couch, turning on the tv. Matthew was quick to get all over you, placing himself on your chest like a disrespectful cat. You didn't mind it this time, granting him your affection by playing with his hair. He absolutely melted under your touch.

Maybe getting yourself a vampire wasn't such a bad idea after all?

[transactinides]

i'm super bad at cooking and never know where to start because every recipe out there asks for ingredients i simply don't have at home so do you perhaps know what basic ones would be good to stock up on? like eggs and stuff...especially when it comes to spices i have no idea what is okay to use

Haii o/ very honored that you sent me an ask, and ofc I’ll do my best to help! This reply got a bit out of hand so. Long text under the cut. Behold. Feel free to reach out in asks or dms or whatever with any future questions (@ everyone tbh).

Food is, of course, very subjective, so my idea of a perfect list of foods to keep a stock of will not be universal, but I hope this will, at least, give you some ideas if anything. 

First of all, I usually mentally break down my typical weekday recipe into vaguely carbs source - protein source - veggies, buy a couple of options for each category and just switch them around for variety. My standard set is

rice / pasta (usually spaghetti re:shapes) / glass noodles

eggs / chicken / tofu / bacon

random pack of frozen vegetables, bell peppers, eggplants, tomatoes, cucumbers, leafy greens. garlic and onions too

I have an option of making egg fried rice with chopped up bacon and added frozen vegetables one day, then blending the leftover vegetables with bell peppers and tomatoes to use as pasta sauce with chicken and spaghetti the next day, then branching out and making eggplant tofu stir fry with glass noodles, then using whatever eggplant tofu stir fry i had left as rice balls filling and making myself a quick vegetable salad on the side… And all those things are easy to make and don’t need much fussing around. 

Other options to consider would be potatoes (you can roast them with whatever, boil, fry, etc), buckwheat (my wife doesn’t like it otherwise I’d use it more often), kidney beans and chickpeas for your carbs*; fish and meat for your proteins (those are. a bit too expensive for me usually); carrots, cabbage, leeks etc. 

The list looks long, but, again, you just need to pick out a couple of things from each group and throw shit in a pan so to speak. And a lot of them are easily soup-able (boiling water chicken potatoes carrots rice? boom soup. etc), which is another easy base recipe to exploit.

Now to the matter of spices. Salt and pepper are obvious enough, but a good thing to look for are, especially if you are just getting into cooking, spice blends. Something something French Herbs™ something something Taco Seasoning™ something something Seven Spice™ something something Garam Masala™. There’s a lot of different ones, but they are, essentially, a formed flavor profile in themselves, so you don’t need to worry about mixing spices and herbs that might not go well together, and by paying attention to contents you can learn for yourself what individual seasonings are commonly used together.

Also, everyone, hold your judgement real quick and trust me with this, but ooh I always save leftover flavor packets from instant ramen and reuse them in other dishes. Egg fried rice just doesn’t taste right without suspicious red powder courtesy of shin ramen… It’s probably MSG my beloved or something…

While I’m at it, bouillon cubes are handy to have, you can use them for soups, crumble them up in other recipes. Adding one to the water you’re cooking rice in is a great hack at making it more flavourful.

In general, while I do actually have way too much spices (and keep buying more… very excited about my newly acquired dried tarragon…), the ones I’d advise to have for an average person would be:

Salt (ideally both coarse grain and fine grain, but fine grain only serves you just right)

black pepper (both in a mill/grinder and peppercorns), red pepper flakes

paprika, garlic powder, ginger powder

bay leaves, dried oregano, basil, thyme, dill, cinnamon, coriander, cardamon, cumin, turmeric, sumak....

I really got a bit carried away by the end, but. You don't actually need to buy all of them and at the same time, just start with whatever couple of things you'd need for whatever you are cooking and let your collection build up over time, since spices aren't something you need to buy often anyway 👍

Other things I think it’s nice to have in stock in your kitchen would be flour and baking powder, vinegar (distilled vinegar, rice vinegar… I like to have balsamic vinegar too but it’s so expensive it’s ridiculous ngl), soy sauce, cooking oil of your choice (I use sunflower oil, olive oil and sesame oil), panko or breadcrumbs, starch (i have potato starch, cornstarch and tapioka starch, I would suggest just getting cornstarch at first).

* going to clarify here that while beans are often brought up as a source of protein, most are rich in complex carbs, excluding edamame and green beans for example. And since I mostly often cook beans with meat, they check out my daily carbs in my head.

Pork, Beans, Potatoes

1/6/2025

This isn't what I planned to make or eat for dinner, but I really wanted rice and beans after talking to my mom, hahahah.

I hit the gym today and it always makes me very hungry, and I can't really focus well when I'm hungry, so I'll try to break down how I made these beans as best as I can.

I'm going to consider this a stew.

I never claimed to be a talented photographer, just a guy who likes potatoes.

Recipe:

No recipe from the web, this is a PQ original.

As such, it's probably gonna seem a little chaotic.

What you're about to see is my handy dandy Fucking Throw It All In A Fucking Pot, Baby, The Whole Spice Cabinet (except not the whole spice cabinet, the curry ingredients were mostly left alone, but I've been known to throw a garam masala or 5 chinese spice into this bad boy) method

Ingredients:

Pork chops (I had 3 so I used 3)

Sweet Potato (I used one)

Green Bell Pepper

Whole tomato

Olive Oil

A handful of pearl onions

Red Kidney Beans

Spices: Garlic, ginger, cayenne pepper, oregano, paprika, cumin, salt, black pepper, cilantro, chili powder, garlic powder and onion powder, bonito flakes, tomato paste, miso paste, powdered chicken bouillon, sazon con achiote y culantro

Vinegar of your choice. I poured some from a jar of pickled onions.

Broth & wine of choice. God only knows which one I used.

To save money & time I have a lot of frozen ginger, garlic, and cilantro. I hate chopping these items. So I always have a lot. A little bit of fish oil or bonito flakes + miso paste will bump up any kind of stew.

Cooking Instructions

I popped a cube of frozen ginger, garlic, and cilantro into a pressure cooker along with the roughly chopped bell pepper, tomato, and onions, and all the spices.

I sauteed them until the onions were a little glassy and there were bits sticking to the bottom. At that point I poured in a little broth and wine to unstick the yummy from the bottom of the pot. It was chicken broth and a yummy red wine, I know that much, but use whatever.

So, kill the heat there. We're gonna do the pork now.

You can just throw the porkchops into the pot whole. The instant pot will make it easy to shred later. This is the easy way. It's still pretty tasty.

What I did because I'm a tryhard is I put the pork chops in my cast iron skillet with salt, olive oil, more vinegar, and more wine. (I didn't add too much salt because the stew pot is already pretty salty). I blasted it at the highest setting and flipped so it was brown/black on both sides.

If it looks like it's threatening to get stuck or too hot or whatever, unstick with more broth or wine.

It doesn't need to be fully cooked, you're mainly after that little burnt /fried pork flavor. Throw those chops in the pot. Deglaze the skillet with more broth / throw in some butter if you want and pour that into the pot.

Wash peel and roughly chop a large sweet potato. Put that in the pot.

Open a can of red kidney beans. Put that in the pot.

Pressure cook for 20 minutes or until tatos tender.

Serve with a bowl of rice. Sometimes I also add lentils to the pot; I didn't this time.

Another fun thing to do is stir in a spoonful of plain full fat whole milk yogurt into your bowl after you've served yourself. I like Brown Cow. This is good for most savory dishes ime.

Kachchi Biryani is a traditional Indian dish that's rich in flavor and aroma. Here's a recipe for making Kachchi Biryani

Kachchi Biryani is a traditional Indian dish that's rich in flavor and aroma. Here's a recipe for making Kachchi Biryani:  

### Ingredients: 

- 500 grams of Basmati rice - 1 kg chicken ( pitch as per your choice) - 2 cups of yogurt - 4 medium-sized onions (thinly sliced) - 4 tomatoes (chopped) - 4 green chilies (chopped) - 1 tablespoon of ginger paste - 1 tablespoon of garlic paste - 1 cup of chopped coriander leaves - 1 cup of chopped mint leaves - 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder - 1 teaspoon of red chili powder - 1 teaspoon of garam masala powder - 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds - 1 teaspoon of whole black peppercorns - 4-5 cloves - 4-5 green cardamom pods - 2-inch cinnamon stick - 2-3 bay leaves - Salt to taste - As much ghee or vegetable oil as needed - Saffron strands (optional) - Fried onions for garnish (optional)

### Instructions: 

  1.**Marinating the Chicken:**

   - In a large bowl, mix yogurt, ginger paste, garlic paste, turmeric powder, red chili powder, half of the chopped coriander leaves, half of the chopped mint leaves, and salt.

   - Add chicken pieces to this mixture and coat them well.  Allow to marinate normal in the fridge for 2-3 hours. If you have time, you can keep it overnight in the fridge, it will marinate very well and will increase in taste.

2. **Preparation of Rice:**

   - Wash Basmati rice thoroughly and soak it in water for 30 minutes.

   - Take warm water in a bowl. Add salt, whole spices (cumin seeds, black peppercorns, cloves, cardamom pods, cinnamon stick, bay leaves), and soaked Basmati rice.

   - Cook the rice until it's 70-80% done. It should still have a slight bite to it. Drain the rice water well and cool it. 

3. **Layering the Biryani:**   - In a heavy-bottomed pan or a handi, heat ghee or oil. Brown some finely chopped  onions and fold them, then keep some onions aside  for later serving.

   - Add chopped tomatoes and green chilies to the remaining onions in the pan. Cook until the tomatoes turn mushy.

   - Now, add marinated chicken along with the marinade to the pan. Cook the chicken until it's half done.

   - Layer the partially cooked rice over the chicken in the pan. Sprinkle garam masala powder, remaining chopped coriander leaves, and mint leaves over the rice.

   - Optionally, you can dissolve saffron strands in warm milk and drizzle it over the rice for added flavor and color.

   -.Cover the pot well with a lid to prevent air from escaping, or you can also use aluminum foil paper. Cook on low heat for about 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is completely done.

4. **Final Garnish and Serving:**

   - Once the biryani is cooked, remove the lid and gently fluff up the rice with a fork.

   - Garnish with the reserved fried onions and some chopped coriander leaves.

   - Serve hot with raita (yogurt sauce) and your favorite salad.

  Enjoy your flavorful Kachchi Biryani!
