hi jalebi

i am so frustrated with these uber-sanskari khushi’s in all the ipk fanfic like why can’t she say ch*tiya and eat mutton biryani and still believe in god and have traditional values

begging you to write something to fix this void

love

an admirer

Hi Admirer 👋

Hmm there’s a thin line between characteristics, character background and then using a character to peddle irritating “sanskaari” teachings.

Khushi, in the show and fics, falls into all three.

I find this ask a little funny because I am a vegetarian and I rarely swear.

And Khushi being a vegetarian and not swearing (in the show for that’s what I can speak for) really comes from her character background (as my friend has attested, the version of Lucknow and Lucknowi family we see is a romanticized version a non Lucknowi would have about the city - a city of poetry and passion, fantasy and fineries, cuisine and character).

While those tropes aren’t baseless - Khushi’s character background is limited to those tropes as opposed to building on it.

Khushi’s vegetarianism probably stems from her religion - the same reason why Arnav’s family is vegetarian as well (I personally do find it irritating that they had this whole yelling when Lavanya got a cake with egg. Chee.)

Also, Khushi might actually appreciate the cooking that goes into a kebab. Unlike Nani she doesn’t seem to maintain social distancing from non veg foods. Such as when Khushi excitedly talks about kebabs that’s cooked in her neighbouring cities back home when she’s try to butter up the waiter to give her and Arnav a table for their “date”.

You might be wondering why I’m writing this in detail and, oddly, defending Khushi because I do not think her being vegetarian, or not choosing to use cuss words is an issue.

These are characteristics. Like her being religious is a fact about her. She is meant to be the opposite of Arnav in every way - literally. Arnav is implied to drop “fuck” at the drop of the hat. Hence Khushi doesn’t swear. He is non vegetarian. She is vegetarian. Arnav wears western outfits with an allergy to ethnic ones, Khushi wears ethnic outfit with an allergy to western ones. Arnav’s language of choice is English. Khushi’s language of choice is Hindi.

And she’s supposed to be modesty in all form - from language to sex (which ofc she’s had none while Arnav does know the tango) and Arnav is temptation in all form (being unattainable is #1).

Now, the reason for my detailed explanation of all this is I think the issue with the show and consequently a set of fic writers is that they don’t show Khushi’s hypocrisy and judgemental attitude - which stems from her traditional upbringing - as wrong.

I don’t have an issue with characteristics and character background. But it is difficult to love a character who is intrusive, behaves like she’s 14, is extremely hypocritical, judgemental, straight up liar and has an extremely high moral superiority complex.

Yes, Arnav has a superiority complex on wealth - which is dutifully called out MULTIPLE times. Which is why fics get him to say sorry, many times, sometimes amazingly, sometimes terribly.

But Khushi’s moral hypocrisy? Never called out.

And the issue with that is that it codes Khushi’s behavior and judgements as correct. And as traits that don’t need a development. She is not written nor treated as someone who needs to unlearn the crap she’s been taught and get off her high horse of traditional values.

However, Khushi eating meat or cussing leads to making changes in the fundamental character itself. And ofc everyone’s entitled to making them. But it means she rebelled against her family - with whom she feels a certain obligatory sense for they adopted her. Doesn’t that change her equation with the family? If she cussed once at home, she would’ve been slapped by Buaji.

Thus Khushi’s behavior would be taken as a form of teen rebellion and one needs to think what triggered it? Her prankster-ness gets her in enough trouble - but it’s also her being loved by Shashi and Payal.

Also Khushi’s 18/19 and extremely sheltered - she hasn’t even had a chance to explore world and get influenced by it.

She does get influenced by Arnav though - she picks up a lot of his English.

I reckon once she’s older she would actually pick up saying “fuck” over “Chutiya”

On a side note, I could legit write her cussing and eating meat and still being just as irritating because I’m changing habits, not working on her personality.

Also food and language have little association to religion. Of course the world doesn’t see it that way. But I don’t think anything is mutually exclusive when it comes to belief and values.

I totally do support the representation of meat eating cussing traditional devout people - lol my dearest aunt was one.

The question is, is Khushi the right character to represent that before she becomes - just a different character?

In an AU - khushi could totally be that. Heck I’ve written the most bizarre stuff lol 😂

:) lots of love,

- Jalebi

The Flavorful Journey of SpoonSome

Biryani: A Culinary Tale

Introduction:

SpoonSome Biryani, a culinary delight that transcends borders and unites taste buds, has a journey as rich and diverse as its aromatic flavors. From humble beginnings to becoming a symbol of culinary excellence, the story of SpoonSome Biryani is a testament to the passion and dedication of its creators.

Biriyani

Biryani, a fragrant and flavorful one-pot dish, has captured the hearts and palates of millions across India. Whether it’s a festive occasion, a family gathering, or a simple weeknight dinner, biryani graces the table with its aromatic presence. In this article, we’ll explore the rich history, diverse variations, and the magic behind this beloved culinary masterpiece.

Origin of Biriyani

Biryani’s origins are shrouded in mystery, with various theories tracing it back to Persia, the Mughal courts, or even ancient India. Regardless of its beginnings, biryani has evolved over centuries, blending local ingredients, spices, and cooking techniques.

The Mughals, known for their opulent feasts, elevated biryani to an art form. They combined Persian pilaf techniques with Indian flavors, creating a harmonious symphony of rice, meat, and spices.

Regional Variations

Hyderabadi Biryani: The Nizams of Hyderabad perfected this style. It’s a marriage of Mughlai and local Telugu flavors. The raw biryani involves layering marinated meat and partially cooked rice, sealing the pot, and slow-cooking it.

Lucknowi Biryani: Awadhi biryani is fragrant and delicate. It uses saffron-infused rice and slow-cooked meat, often garnished with fried onions and raisins.

Malabar Biryani: Kerala’s Malabar coast offers a spicy version with coconut milk, curry leaves, and a hint of sweetness.

Sindhi Biryani: Influenced by Pakistani cuisine, Sindhi biryani features marinated meat, potatoes, and aromatic spices.

Origin Story:

The tale of SpoonSome Biryani begins in the bustling streets of Trivandrum, where a young man named Vysakh honed their craft in the art of biryani-making. Inspired by the rich culinary heritage of the region, a group of young entrepreneurs set out to create a biryani experience like no other. Thus, SpoonSome Biryani was born, blending traditional recipes with modern innovation.

On streets in India, where flavors collide and cultures intertwine, there exists a biryani that defies convention. Spoonsome Biryani, born from the creative mind of entrepreneur Vysakh, is more than just a dish – it’s an experience.

Spoonsome, a maverick in the culinary world, envisioned a biryani that would transcend boundaries. Our journey began with a simple question: “What if we reimagine the classic biryani?”

Spoonsome Biryani emerged as the answer – a fusion of tradition and innovation, where every grain of rice tells a story.

Early Beginnings

Recipe Perfection:

At the heart of SpoonSome Biryani's success lies its signature recipe, carefully crafted over years of experimentation and refinement. The secret blend of aromatic spices, tender meat, and fragrant basmati rice creates a symphony of flavors that dance on the palate with every bite.

Each ingredient is meticulously selected to ensure the perfect balance of taste and texture, making SpoonSome Biryani a true culinary masterpiece.

Magic of Biriyani

Basmati Rice The canvas for Spoonsome Biryani, aged basmati rice, forms the foundation. Each grain absorbs the essence of spices and marinated meat.

Marinated Meat Whether succulent chicken, tender lamb, or fragrant fish, the choice of meat defines the biryani. Spoonsome secret lies in the marinade – yogurt, spices, and love.

Spices of Cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, and star anise dance together, creating a symphony of flavors. Spoonsome spice blend is a guarded treasure.

Herbs Fresh mint, cilantro, and curry leaves add brightness and balance. Their whispers infuse every layer.

Making Delicious Dums

Biryani’s magic lies in the “dum” method. The pot is sealed with dough or cloth, trapping steam and flavors. The slow, gentle heat ensures that every grain of rice absorbs the essence of the spices and meat.

The unveiling of a biryani pot is akin to opening a treasure chest – the aroma escapes, and anticipation reaches its peak.

The Lightness Within

Spoonsome challenges the notion that biryani must be heavy. His creation is a delicate balance – rich in flavor yet light on the palate.
