huh. I always associated chick peas with Mediterranean cooking more than any other cuisine - including my own - but then wiki tells me in 2019, India was responsible for 70% of global chickpea production.
which, huh.
something something numebrs REALLY add up even if it's a small fraction of a big number vs large fraction of a small number. a very basic concept but one I keep relearning somehow.
#also WHY are there so many different kinds of chickpea and pea all with similar names#it is UNFAIR because i absolutely love some of them but the naming conventions are so inconsistent (or i dont pay enough attention) and ARG#that's how i end up in a conversation with a friend about:#two different dishes which have the same name (but VERY different recipes and tastes)#both made with ingredients called the same thing (but VERY different in texture and taste)#both made in the same city (but in VERY different cuisines)#it was. Some conversation alright akfkshg#anyway now i'm wondering if my assumption above is a south indian/north indian thing because now that i think about it#every chana (chickpea) dish i think of (except one) is north indian#so maybe me thinking it doesn't factor too highly in indian cuisine - despite how much i love it - is because it doesn't factor much#in /telugu/ cuisine#and that one southern dish might've been my mum making a bastardised curry while experimenting (it was good tho)#(related: negative version of a shout out to the time she made apple pickle and it was SWEET I will never get over that)#(by pickle i mean the spicy stuff not pickled onions kinda pickle)#(yeah with APPLES)#that was one experiment we never saw repeated akfhkhsfg#anyway rhys if youre seeing this muri mixture with batani supremacy etc etc#OH wait nvm i take back that thing about chana not ranking high in telugu cuisine#because it is SUCH a common and important part of some kinds of tambulam and that's very Telugu i think#so mhmmm idk why i feel chana is a foreign introduction to telugu culture#also how do i translate what a tambulam is#uhh it's party favours‚ except it's not a party as much as a get together for cultural reasons and is a VERY common occurrence#sort of?#idk man I'm already very bad at cultural stuff and even worse at explaining my half knowledge because idk????#i know if i am given a tambulam but idk when all it's given#anyway i've completely lost the plot by now so uh#that concludes this post#placeholder tag

forgive me if you dont know the answer to this but i saw your post about putting ghee on rice - i'm trying to learn how to make desi dishes (i myself am not desi, but i've had the pleasure of learning to cook from some desi community members), but i can never get my dishes to taste just right! do you have any cooking tips, or any reliable resources you use for recipes?
hi!! i posted my family's daal recipe a couple years ago and i just reblogged it (you can also find it here) and i explain the process of cooking it and list all the ingredients. based on my research it's quite similar to recipes called 'daal langar' or langar daal, the type of daal typically made for the langar hall of a gurdwara, although the main difference is the style of chili used as we use birds eye chilis which are more common in malaysia! but you can use the typical indian green chilis instead if you want
i'm punjabi so i don't want to make generalizations for cooking other regional food, but these tips hold true for north indian cooking in an overall sense
(1) you can't forget to add the tharka, it's the backbone to most dishes, and make sure the onions ginger garlic are fully cooked before you toss the tharka into the curry pot. whole cumin seed, black mustard seed, garlic ginger and onions - without that combo there will always be something missing from a dish.
(2) salt is everything, you need to be heavier with the salt than you might think, especially with thick curries you can add all the spices in the world to them but if they don't have enough salt it'll somehow taste like nothing. the spices are asleep in the pot without their salt, don't be afraid to be generous with salt to wake them up. when i say generous i mean that i use 2 tbsp of salt in my daal recipe. trust me.
(3) put ghee on everything. be generous with it, like with your salt. it goes on the rice, the bread, in curries and daals, in desserts, it goes everywhere
(4) ALWAYS WASH YOUR RICE!!!

In Israel, you’ll find a patchwork of different communities. Most Israeli Jews originate from Europe, North Africa and the Middle East, but some come from other regions, such as India.
According to the Indian Embassy in Tel Aviv, there are about 85,000 Jews of Indian origin in Israel — so Indian Jews make up just 1.2% of Israel’s Jewish population. This small community is divided into four groups: the Bene Israel from Maharashtra, the Cochin Jews from Kerala, the Baghdadi Jews from Kolkata, and the Bnei Menache from Mizoram and Manipur.
Although I grew up in the U.S., my mother’s family is from the Cochin Jewish community in Israel. I wanted to find out more about how this community is preserving our unique Jewish traditions from the South of India.
Many of these traditions are at a risk of dying out. For example, the language of the Cochin Jewish community is called Judeo-Malayalam. Today, this dialect has only a few dozen native speakers left (you can hear it spoken in this video).
According to legend, the first Jews arrived in Cochin during the time of King Solomon. The oldest physical evidence of their presence is a set of engraved copper plates dating from around 379-1000 CE, which were given to community leader Joseph Rabban by the Chera Perumal dynasty ruler of Kerala.
Jewish sailors originally arrived in Kodungallur (Cranganore), an ancient port city known as Shingly by Jews, before shifting to Cochin following a flood in 1341. These Jews became known as the Malabari Jewish community. After the expulsion of Jews from Spain in 1492, a group of Sephardic Jews also came to Cochin, and became known as the Paradesi (Foreign) Jews. The Malabari and Paradesi Jews historically lived separately and maintained their own traditions, although in modern times this division has become less important.
Today, the vast majority of Cochin Jews live in Israel. I spoke with several community members to learn about current projects in Israel to preserve Cochini Jewish culture.
Hadar Nehemya, a jazz musician and performer, runs a food delivery service sharing traditional Cochin Jewish recipes. Hadar learned the art of cooking from her mother, who learned it from her paternal grandmother.
Cooking her dishes from scratch and selling them at markets and for delivery, Hadar’s goal is to introduce Cochini cooking into the mainstream of Israeli culture. “Many Israelis don’t know much about Cochin Jewish culture. Maybe they met a Cochini person in the army,” she said. “But Indian food is popular in Israel, because Israelis love to visit India after they finish their army service.”
Cochin Jewish cuisine is similar to other types of South Indian cuisine, but also has influences from Iberian and Middle Eastern cooking. One example is pastel, pastries with a spicy filling that are similar to empanadas. Other staples include fish and egg curries, chicken stew, black-eyed pea stew, dosa (thin rice pancakes) and dishes cooked with coconut and mango.
Hadar’s favorite dishes to cook are idli and sambar, which are often eaten together. Idli is a type of savory rice cake, while sambar is a spiced lentil stew. Although Hadar says it’s difficult to maintain an Indian food business from an economic perspective, she’s passionate about cooking and enjoys creating homemade dishes with the right balance of spices.
Along with cooking, music is also important in Cochini culture. In most religious Jewish communities, women aren’t permitted to sing in front of men who aren’t their immediate relatives. However, this prohibition was not part of the Cochini tradition.
In the Cochin Jewish community, women have sung in Hebrew and Judeo-Malayalam for centuries. Piyyutim (liturgical poems) were sung in the synagogue or at people’s homes during holidays. Judeo-Malayalam folk songs were sung at weddings and special occasions, and the lyrics of these songs were recorded in notebooks to hand down to future generations. Later, many women also learned Zionist songs in preparation for moving to Israel. I have memories of my own grandmother singing these songs at home.
In recent years, audio recordings have been produced of Cochini songs, including a collection called “Mizmorim” (Psalms) featuring Hadar’s grandmother, Yekara Nehemya. Hadar then created her own version of one of the songs, “Yonati Ziv.”
Today, community leader Tova Aharon-Kastiel has organized a choir which meets once or twice a month at different locations. In the choir, Cochini and non-Cochini women, mostly aged 65-85, sing songs in Hebrew and Judeo-Malayalam. The older generation is eager for the younger generation to get involved, but since most younger Cochin Jews have a mixed background and are assimilated into mainstream Israeli culture, this is sometimes proving a challenge.
Still, many young Cochin Jews are eager to connect with their roots. The community maintains several Facebook groups, including one specifically geared towards the younger generation. The group description reads: “If you are a young Cochini, you surely know (at least partially) the wonderful heritage of our forefathers and mothers…  the sad truth is that this heritage is currently on its way to pass from the world.”
Shlomo Gadot is the CEO of Inuitive, a semiconductor company, and is actively involved with Cochini community projects. His nephew, Ori, runs the Facebook group for the younger generation. Shlomo says events are regularly held at the Indian Embassy in Tel Aviv for young Cochinis. “Normally the embassy gives them their office in Tel Aviv, and they invite the young Cochini people to come there and do a trivia contest,” he said. “They do it twice a year, once at Hanukkah and once at Passover.”
According to Shlomo, the embassy also has initiatives to create connections between Indian and Israeli tech companies. “Sometimes they invite people to the ambassador’s house or office to see how they can create connections between Israeli and Indian companies,” he said. “They also have a program to bring young people to India to help them get to know India better.”
Anil Abraham is one of the few Cochin Jews with recent memories of life in India. Born in Jerusalem, his family returned to India when he was 8 years old, and he lived there until age 35 before migrating back to Israel. He says he found growing up Jewish in India difficult, but rewarding. “It was very difficult to move there from Israel and learn Malayalam,” he said. “But it was amazing to be part of the community and enjoy Cochini food prepared from scratch. We used to attend prayers in the Paradesi Synagogue, because right now there are fewer than 20 Jews in Kerala.”
Today, Anil runs tours of Kerala for the Cochin Jewish community and others. “The kids travel with their parents and grandparents to India,” he said. “That’s how our traditions are passed down.”

Birthday weekend for the twins. Unexciting non-milestone year, but finding ways to celebrate.
Daughter A wanted a North Indian dinner and an orange chocolate cake. Sadly I didn’t get a pic of the cake. The NY times Chocolate Orange drizzle recipe was solid.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Approximately 83 spices later, tikka paste made and chicken marinating, cake was iced and ready to feast upon..
pineapple chutney wrapped up and then grilled chicken, roast potatoes for aloo saag.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I used the wrong measuring spoon on the aloo. Way too spicy but cut the base in half to salvage the dish. Tikki masala was the bomb after grilling the tandoori chicken.
Tomorrow will take out daughter B for a dinner. She wants Japanese and i have poor skills when making sushi. masubi and onogiri are my extents.
Off to tinker on the car between rain showers.
Hope everyone is making the best of Sunday. Lazy weather here.

Native American Heritage Month: Nonfiction Recommendations
Celebrate Native American Heritage Month by checking out one of these nonfiction recommendations from your local library!  
The Heartbeat of Wounded Knee by David Treuer
The received idea of Native American history has been that American Indian history essentially ended with the 1890 massacre at Wounded Knee. Growing up Ojibwe on a reservation in Minnesota, training as an anthropologist, and researching Native life past and present for his nonfiction and novels, David Treuer has uncovered a different narrative. Because they did not disappear - the story of American Indians since the end of the nineteenth century to the present is one of unprecedented resourcefulness and reinvention.
Hearts of Our People: Native Women Artists edited by Jill Ahlberg Yohe
This volume explores the artistic achievements of Native women and establishes their rightful place in the art world, including works of art from antiquity to the present, made in a variety of media from textiles and beadwork to video and digital arts. It showcases artists from more than seventy-five Indigenous tribes to reveal the ingenuity and innovation that have always been foundational to the art of Native women.
New Native Kitchen by Freddie Bitsoie
From the former executive chef at Mitsitam Native Foods Café at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian, this book is a celebration of Indigenous cuisine. Accompanied by original artwork and offering delicious dishes like Cherrystone Clam Soup and Spice-Rubbed Pork Tenderloin, Bitsoie showcases the variety of flavor and culinary history on offer from coast to coast, providing modern interpretations of 100 recipes that have long fed this country.
We Had a Little Real Estate Problem by Kliph Nesteroff
It was one of the most reliable jokes in Charlie Hill’s stand-up routine: “My people are from Wisconsin. We used to be from New York. We had a little real estate problem.” In this account, acclaimed comedy historian Kliph Nesteroff focuses on one of comedy’s most significant and little-known stories: how, despite having been denied representation in the entertainment industry, Native Americans have influenced and advanced the art form.
Inconvenient Indian by Thomas King
In this account, Thomas King offers a deeply knowing, darkly funny, unabashedly opinionated, and utterly unconventional account of Indian–White relations in North America since initial contact. Ranging freely across the centuries and the Canada–U.S. border, King debunks fabricated stories of Indian savagery and White heroism, takes an oblique look at Indians (and cowboys) in film and popular culture, wrestles with the history of Native American resistance and his own experiences as a Native rights activist, and articulates a profound, revolutionary understanding of the cumulative effects of ever-shifting laws and treaties on Native peoples and lands.

Embracing the Rich Tapestry of Beautiful Indian Culture
In the vibrant mosaic of world cultures, few can rival the sheer diversity and beauty encapsulated by the Beautiful Indian culture. Spanning thousands of years and encompassing a multitude of traditions, languages, cuisines, and art forms, India stands as a testament to the richness of human heritage. Let's embark on a journey through the kaleidoscope of Beautiful Indian culture, exploring its myriad hues and timeless splendor.
Tumblr media
From the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas to the sun-kissed shores of Kerala, Beautiful Indian culture manifests in myriad forms, each region boasting its own unique customs and traditions. Whether it's the exuberant dance forms of Bollywood or the serene chants of ancient Vedic hymns, there's a profound sense of beauty and harmony that permeates every aspect of Indian life. This cultural kaleidoscope serves as a testament to the country's enduring spirit and its ability to celebrate diversity in all its glory.
One cannot delve into the essence of Beautiful Indian culture without acknowledging its deep-rooted spirituality. With a history steeped in ancient wisdom and philosophical insights, India has given birth to some of the world's most profound spiritual traditions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism. The sacred rivers, majestic temples, and bustling bazaars all bear witness to the spiritual fervor that courses through the veins of Indian society, uniting people in a shared quest for enlightenment and inner peace.
A hallmark of Beautiful Indian culture is its reverence for tradition and heritage, which finds expression in a myriad of rituals and festivities. Whether it's the colourful revelry of Holi, the solemnity of Diwali, or the joyous festivities of Eid, Indians take great pride in preserving their cultural legacy and passing it down through generations. These celebrations serve not only as occasions for merriment but also as reminders of the values and beliefs that bind communities together in a tapestry of shared history and collective identity.
At the heart of Beautiful Indian culture lies a deep appreciation for the arts, which find expression in a dazzling array of forms, from intricate classical dance forms like Bharatanatyam and Kathak to the melodious strains of Hindustani and Carnatic music. Artisans and craftsmen across the country continue to keep age-old traditions alive, weaving intricate patterns into textiles, carving exquisite sculptures from stone, and painting vibrant scenes that capture the essence of Indian life. In a world where modernity often threatens to overshadow tradition, these artistic expressions serve as a poignant reminder of India's rich cultural heritage.
Tumblr media
Beautiful Indian culture is also synonymous with culinary excellence, boasting a diverse array of flavours and spices that tantalise the taste buds and nourish the soul. From the fiery curries of the north to the aromatic biryanis of the south, Indian cuisine is a celebration of flavour and aroma, with each dish telling a story of tradition, innovation, and culinary mastery. Whether it's street food vendors dishing out spicy snacks or Michelin-starred chefs reinventing age-old recipes, the gastronomic landscape of India is as diverse and vibrant as the culture that inspires it.
In the midst of rapid urbanisation and globalisation, Beautiful Indian culture faces the challenge of preserving its traditional heritage while embracing the opportunities of the modern world. Yet, amidst this dynamic interplay of old and new, there remains an enduring sense of pride and resilience that continues to fuel India's cultural renaissance. From the bustling metropolises of Mumbai and Delhi to the tranquil villages of Rajasthan and Kerala, the spirit of Beautiful Indian culture shines bright, illuminating the path forward with its timeless beauty and boundless creativity.
In conclusion, Beautiful Indian culture stands as a testament to the indomitable spirit of a nation that celebrates diversity, embraces tradition, and cherishes the beauty of life in all its myriad forms. From the majestic monuments of its ancient past to the vibrant rhythms of its modern-day festivals, India's cultural tapestry is a testament to the enduring legacy of a civilisation that has thrived for millennia. As we continue to navigate the complexities of the modern world, may we always remember to pause and appreciate the timeless splendour of Beautiful Indian culture, a treasure trove of heritage and inspiration for generations to come.

I got my hands on a bunch of PDFs on the topic of Medieval history. One was a short little book from the 1930s called "Medieval Feasts". I thought it would be fun to read and indulge a bit. Evocative. Imagine a feast. But the man who wrote it? He fucking HATES medieval food. Describes it with words like "disgusting". "Nauseating". What does he find so loathsome? Too many spices! Five, even six spices in a dish! Adding cloves and nutmeg to stewed apples? Awful. A sauce for your venison with wine and cinnamon? You've ruined it. Eggs with... sugar?? Inedible! I am learning so much more about the 1930s than I am about medieval times. And yes he does get digs in at North African and Indian food for falling prey to the same folly as medieval food- eg adding more flavors than "pepper and a little mustard". Also he's sure that medieval people were all dying early because their food was so yuckydisgusting.
A few of the quoted recipes are a little complicated/odd, but they weren't writing down instructions for "stewed apples plus nothing" even if they were eating it. The recipes were for fancy food for nobility. Most of the stuff he quoted probably tastes fine! Meat with cinnamon is delicious! Also I don't know for sure but I'm pretty certain the author doesn't know how to cook and also died without actually trying curry. It's kind of sad. But also it's the funniest possible book that could be written on medieval food. Amazing.

Explore The Best Breakfast Choices For Weight Loss 
Tumblr media
The first meal of the day is breakfast. Breakfast is good for your mental and physical well-being. Healthy food gives the body what it needs to start the day by replenishing blood sugar or glucose.
Breakfast is crucial for individuals of all ages, particularly kids and teenagers. Breakfast eaters are more likely to be more focused, capable of solving problems, and have better hand-eye coordination. 
They might also be more creative and aware. A hearty and nutritious breakfast generally helps prevent many lifestyle disorders, including diabetes, PCOD, and hypertension.
In English, "breakfast" means ending the fast from the previous night. There are a variety of "typical" or "traditional" breakfast alternatives, with cuisine selections varying globally based on geography and custom.
5 Simple Vegan Breakfast Ideas
There are plenty of vegan breakfast options available. Your morning meal with a delicious vegan spread gives your body the nutrition it needs. Nonetheless, milk, bread and butter, an omelette, and scrambled eggs make up the majority of Indians' breakfasts. Here are some vegan options for Indian breakfast that you can try from ToneOp:
1. Roti/Paratha With Vegan Curd Or Sabzi
A great and easy vegan breakfast option is paratha/roti with sabzi, a North Indian breakfast classic. To make a complete meal, add some vegan curd to the mixture. Steer clear of butter and ghee when cooking. To make your paratha even more delicious and nutrient-dense, stuff it with veggies like potatoes, cauliflower, radish, and coriander.
2. Dosa/Idli With Chutney And Sambar
Sambar and idli/dosa make a pretty simple breakfast. Sambar is a hot curry with vegetables, including onion, carrots, and tomatoes. Since split black gram and rice are used to make idli/dosa, they are high in fibre. Together, they make a delicious vegan breakfast.
3. Upma
Upma, also known as rava upma, is a traditional breakfast dish that is a savoury porridge prepared with a mixture of vegetables and semolina. This makes a tasty and nutritious dinner, especially with filter coffee or vegan chai.
4. Besan Chilla 
In North India, besan chillas are a well-known dish that is both vegan and gluten-free. They are made by creating crepes using a spicy chickpea flour batter, which is easy to prepare.
5. Dalia
Dalia, also called broken wheat porridge, is a well-liked and nourishing vegan breakfast option. It is tasty and an excellent source of fibre, protein, and essential nutrients such as iron and magnesium. 
7 Recipes For Egg Breakfasts
Here are a few recipes for egg breakfasts:
1. Mughlai Paratha
The quintessential Indian staple, parthas go well with almost anything. One such variation with a sizable fan base is Mughlai Paratha. From West Bengal, India, to Bangladesh, people love the traditional Bengali street food known as mughlai paratha, fried to perfection and loaded with eggs.
2. Baked Eggs
Onions, cherry tomatoes, and other seasonings are added to whisked eggs before they are cooked to perfection. It produces one of the greatest breakfasts, full of protein.
3. Parsi Eggs
Scrambled eggs with subtle spices, a traditional Parsi dish, are eaten with bread, buns, or pav.
4. Indian Style Omelet
Stir-fried spicy eggs with tomatoes, onions, and fragrant spices. A quick, easy, and savoury typical Indian morning food is the masala omelette. It's a fantastic high-protein breakfast option from India. 
5. Bhurji Egg
Nothing matches a spicy, delicious egg bhurji paired with parathas for a hearty breakfast. All vegetarians love this scrambled egg recipe since it is so easy and quick to make.
6. Cheese And Egg Wrap
The most portable and all-inclusive source of nutrients is an egg. Protein, vitamins, and minerals like calcium, phosphorus, iron, and lecithin are all included. While there are many methods to cook eggs, the three most common ones in this recipe for breakfast are scrambled, poached, and boiled.
