#biriyani is an emotion

[wedarkacademia]

Biriyani is not simply a food, it's an emotion 💛

[chainsandcherries]

my heart rate is like 120+ i would like to get off this ride please

you ever get so stoned your mind is calm enough but then your body starts Having Physical Symptoms of Anxiety so your mind desperately claws at a reason, any reason, to answer for why your body is Acting Like That

Ommggg okkkkkk here you gooo

4. Ummm, I would have said Biriyani but Middle Eastern countries and our neighbouring countries also have Biriyani, so I will settle for Payeesh/Kheer (it's a popular rice porridge dish made with milk and sugar or jaggery and nuts). I especially like the one my maternal grandma makes, that's my favourite. She makes it for me on my birthday every year (it's a tradition) AND I LOVE IT!

7. (A) Lyadh/ল্যাদ (The art of doing nothing) or more commonly the feeling of lazyness.

(B) Ashchi/আসছি well it usually translates to coming, but in Bengali it can be used as a goodbye term instead of Jachhi/যাচ্ছি or Gelam/গেলাম which gives a sense of grief (because someone is leaving or going away) this term gives a sense of hope (that whoever is leaving might return someday).

(C) Ishh/ইসসস well it's not exactly a term nit rather a form of expression, which if combined with proper facial expressions can show mostly all the available emotions like anger, shyness, disgust etc.

Tag people you would like to get to know better

Thanks for the tag! @citruscloudsandmoon ❤️

[ 1 ] Three ships

Sasuke x Sakura

I just love how unique their dynamic is and how different they are from other Naruto ships and fictional ships in general. So much hate, hypocrisy and double standards are involved in spouting them but I never cared. It just increases my love for the ship, and Sasuke Retsuden absolutely nailed it in improving their dynamic!

Hyakkimaru x Mio

They are my new ship and since I'm currently watching Dororo, I can't refrain from mentioning them. They are absolutely one of the cutest, pure and genuine ships but sadly their story became a tragedy 😭 They both loved each other so much that they deserved a happy ending, I'm so sad 😞

Kane x Salima

Probably, the only couple in this list where there aren't enough canon implications to prove their romantic relationship, but from the anime it really gives me a feeling that Salima actually does like him because who would risk their life so much that they don't even mind falling debris? Well, but one fanfiction triggered me to like this ship and till date, my fondness for them never ceased. They aren't popular but who cares? It made me love them more 🥹♥️

[ 2 ] First ship

I really wonder what to say about this because I don't remember what I shipped first as a child, but I'll tell Nobita and Shizuka from Doraemon. I don't watch that show even for a bit now, but one day when I heard that they officially got married, I was glad for them 😭♥️

[ 3 ] Last song

Mannile, a Tamil song from the movie Mazhai.

[ 4 ] Last movie

Varisu, a Tamil movie but before that I watched Detective Pikachu if considering a more well recognised movie globally.

[ 5 ] Currently reading?

I'm not reading anything but my textbooks because I have exams coming up and don't feel like reading anything apart from that (that too I am waiting to stop reading them 😭).

[ 6 ] Currently watching?

Dororo!

Well, someone would love to watch something while reading and studying haha.

I am being honest.... I never thought that I would be so attached and interested towards it when I decided to give it a try. But the anime is so damn good with so many emotions and elements. I love stories revolving around samurai and the setting is just classic. I totally love Hyakkimaru so much and he became another crush of mine 🥹♥️

[ 7 ] Currently consuming?

I'm not consuming anything at the moment, I'm heading off to sleep. But I had Dosa and Fish.

[ 8 ] Currently craving?

Maggie noodles! And maybe Biriyani or chicken roll 😭

[ofsyzygies]

there is a shipwreck between your ribs and it took eighteen years for me to understand how to understand your kind of drowning. there are people who cannot be held quietly. there are screams that are never externalized. there is a shipwreck between your ribs. you are a box with fragile written on it, and so many people have not handled you with care. -- shinji moon. 

memory 001; ― a vivid memory.

‘Can I help you get that?’

Her warm, brown eyes had lifted to meet the gaze of the man beside her, her soft smile resting readily on her lips. He seemed young, probably younger than her. They usually were. One of the double-edged swords of being her mother’s daughter was the set of youthful features that didn’t betray her years. ‘Oh,’ She acknowledged, her eyes moving back up to the can of cream she had been eyeing while deciding what to make for dinner. She hadn’t tested if it would be too far out of reach yet. ‘Yes, please,’ She said, too embarrassed to claim that she didn’t need it. She would return it later, once he’d left.

A smile slid onto his youthful features as he made a grab for the can and held it out to her. ‘So, uh, actually, this is embarrassing, my friend -’ He began explaining, though his words tapered off into silence when she reached out with her prosthetic arm to accept it, his eyes falling onto her arm like it was some sort of alien appendage.

The look in his eyes shifted between different emotions before settling on the one she hated the most: pity. Her shyness, too, faded at the sight of it. “Can you point me towards the dairy aisle?” She asked sweetly, though she knew exactly where it was, shopped at this exact supermarket every two days. It was just to give the poor boy the out he desperately needed.

He pointed, almost gratefully. It was in the wrong direction, but that was no bother. She was as desperate to end the conversation as he was.

Once she had finally turned into the dairy section, she let herself break only slightly, her composure suffering a hairline fracture. You can only control how you feel - not how others feel, she reminded herself. Instead, she pretended not to see either of them as she stepped forward to reach for some Greek Yogurt. Maybe she’d make Biriyani.

memory 002; ― a happy memory.

The flat was still a mess, really. But, the moving process had been more arduous than ever before. After sixteen new addresses and sixteen new flowerpots, Yuri had grown desperate to finally break the cycle. Desperate enough to move continents altogether. It wasn’t an easy decision and her parents struggled to cope with the idea of her living so far away. The way her mother had crumpled when she heard her decision was still imprinted on her mind, as clearly as if she was still standing in front of her, looking small, not daring to ask her to stay.

Though leaving had been bittersweet, there was something about this town that promised a fresh start. The distance, for one. No matter how persistent he had been over the years, he surely wouldn’t be able to find her when she was across the ocean. This place, for another. Though the brunette had travelled all over Europe, there was something about this place with its mixture of rustic charm and urban beauty. The gorgeous nature of the mountains that surrounded the town. The vast farmlands. Yuri had never been to a place like this before. A place unlike the hustle and bustle of the city she grew up in and once called her home, London. It was also unlike any of the cities she had chosen as her residence over the past few years. She used to think that the more crowded the place, the busier the city, the easier it would be for her to disappear in plain sight. To live a normal life, but even though this town seemed more open in many ways than she was used to, it really felt like she had finally found a place that could offer her some normalcy.

Then, there was this home. Her new home, with the walls freshly painted in a colour that made her feel safe. Even with the boxes placed all throughout the apartment, she could visualise just how cozy and safe it would look once it was finished. The fact it was an apartment that led out into a garden didn’t hurt. The idea she could plant her own flowers and breathe life into this place, and maybe into herself, made warmth spread throughout her. 

It was difficult to keep the smile off her flushed face, exhausted from the day of labour she had to endure. She sat for some respite, back pressed up against the wall and her knees drawn up. On her lap, lay her greatest source of new happiness, the thing she would be able to pour all of her love into. Her new baby.

The baby rodent was delicate and so small that she fit into the palms of her open hands. The edges of her mouth twitched into an even wider smile as she watched the rise and fall of the small animal’s body as it breathed. She began gently petting it with the tip of her finger, eyes fond as she regarded the small capybara. It was always difficult starting over again, but at least this time she would not be doing it alone. 

“Welcome home, Siegfried.” 

memory 003; ― a memory involving a friend

April 2nd, 1969.

She always felt at home on the ice; maybe more at home there, poised like a doll, spinning in endless circles, than she had ever felt anywhere else. In the rink, she could be alone with her thoughts and her feelings, no matter how negative some of them may have been. In the outside world, she worried too much. Worried about her school work, her friends, her parents, her cello tutor and what they all thought of her.

She never needed to worry about Katya though, mostly because she was direct and did not shy from withholding praise. 

Despite landing what she felt was a satisfactory triple jump, Katya’s groan echoed throughout the room. “Once again,” She began, her accent thick. “The landing is not good. You land like you are scared you will break the ice.”

A blush stained the teen’s cheeks. Was it that obvious? “I mean...I’m a little scared,” She admitted sheepishly, spreading her arms in one wide and fluid motion. “What if I fall wrong and break my arm? What if I can never use these hands again?” There was nothing impertinent in how she asked her questions, her voice dripped with genuine curiosity as she looked at her dainty hands. “I’m going to be a surgeon, so I need them.”

“Волко́в боя́ться — в лес не ходи́ть,” Katya deadpanned with a dismissive shrug of her shoulders.

Yuri’s eyebrows furrowed. “Sorry?” 

“If you’re scared of wolves, do not go in forest,” Katya explained simply. “You will get nowhere in life just being scared.” Then, gesturing for her to start moving. “Now do it again.”

Reasons why biryani became the most ordered dish

Biryani and India, a match made in heaven. At a glance, this statement may seem a bit over the top, but when you consider some data, this will start to make sense. According to the stats released by the topmost online food ordering apps, biryani is the most-ordered food in India. As per the data published by Swiggy, in 2022, 2.28 biriyanis were ordered every second. Also, the data from Zomato reveals that 186 biriyanis are delivered every minute across the country.

So, what is the reason behind this hysteria? Well, let us take a look!

Reasons behind the popularity of biryani

Apart from the fact that you can easily order biryani online, these are some of the reasons why this rice-based dish has captured the imagination of people:

A complete meal

Biryani as a dish is a complete meal in itself. It has rice which is steamed with meat (either mutton or chicken) or cooked in Dum style. It is lip-smacking and finger-licking good. Not just this, it has got all the essential nutrients in one plate, i.e. proteins and carbohydrates. So, it is not very farfetched to claim that it is a complete meal in itself.

Huge range

In India, there is a whole range of biryani. Based on the meat, there is a different categorization. Based on the type of rice used, there are different versions. Some restaurants make vegetarian biryani as well. However, there is a long-standing debate. Without meat, biryani nerds do not consider it to be in the league. They call it pulao.

Moreover, there are multiple iterations of the dish depending on the location they are from. There is the Hyderabadi variation which is considered to be the top one. Then, there is Lucknowi one which is considered a close second. Next up is the famous biryani of Kolkata which has potatoes in it and brings a completely different palate to the table. There are Bohri, Sindhi, Afghani, Punjabi, Memoni, Malabar, Mughlai, Dindigul, Sri Lankan, Dan Pauk, and Nasi Kebuli versions too. And, each one has a distinctive taste.  

●       Easily available

There is the availability of biryani online. But, this can be considered an understatement because there is a lot of it and the stats mentioned above further strengthens the narrative. All credit goes to the great restaurants and chefs who put in their toil and expertise in creating this perfect standalone dish that can be had all alone. You will find it on every Indian food delivery app that is there in the market. All you need to do is place an order, which will be at your home soon.

●       A lot of emotions are attached to it

The aromatic biryani has a lot of emotions and nostalgia attached to it. Since it is a complete dish with all the nutrition packed, it has been served on birthdays, family get-togethers, and on almost every occasion in Indian households. In India, many weddings are not considered complete without this exemplary dish. The love for biryanis runs deep in our veins.  

We have spoken a lot about the great biryani that you can eat. But, if you want to enjoy it in the comfort of your home, then you need to order biryani online. Where should you order it from? If you want to enjoy the classic recipe, then there is no beating Biryani By Kilo. You will find a fantastic range of biryanis at unbeatable prices. So, do not wait and order immediately.

La Squadra x Desi (South Asian) Reader (gender neutral)

A/N: I thought this would be cute and funny since I don’t see a lot of south asian centered content about jojo in general! I hope desi and non-desi jojo fans alike enjoy these hcs and if there’s something about desi culture you’d like to know more about I’d love to answer!

Risotto

- My first thought with him was that he starts wearing a lungi around the house as soon as he finds out what they are

- starts using gamucha for his workouts! they’re really convenient

- Loves to hear you sing in your language! Desi ballad music sounds beautiful to him especially coming from you!

- Is willing to try desi food and will not complain about the curry smell at all, won’t mind that you eat with your hands

- He loves spicy food so he most likely enjoys any curry but especially loves how spicy vindaloo

- willing to watch bollywood movies with you just to spend time together

- If you ask him to learn your language he’ll be happy to, won’t even ask you to learn his unless you really want to

- your family would probably be scared as hell of him and the aunties might talk behind your back but he pays no mind. They eventually like how polite and helpful he is.

- overall, indulges in your culture as much as you want him to! He’d also be happy to share his culture should you be interested

Prosciutto

- He probably asked you to learn Italian so he thinks it’s only fair he learns some of your language as well

- gets suuuper into the cuisine, he loves the beef curry and even though it’s a bit basic he loves biriyani lol (especially kacchi! the beef is so tender)

- gets into desi hair oils lol

- might judge you just a bit at first when you eat with your hands but not for long

- he loves classic noir films and that means in any language so he’d enjoy bengali noir but not much bollywood

- complains that curry stained his finger nails yellow lol also might complain about the house smelling like curry too so he makes sure there’s a lot of ventilation

- like to learn desi recipes with you! finds the flavors intriguing and may even help you cook your fav desi food

- fits in with you family the most out of them all, he is THE typical desi auntie already criticizing everything and everyone all the time lol so he’d get along with them fine. They’d like how good he is with house chores and how he always tells you to be responsible. Smokes with the uncles and gets into their heated political debates

- will buy you traditional clothing that you like, probs likes to see you in panjabi, saree whatever you prefer 

- asks you to ask your family about skincare, especially anti aging remedies lmaooo

Pesci

- is actually quite excited to learn your language! in fact, he might bring it up first because he thinks it’s a great bonding activity and he’s intrigued

- lovesss the fish curry dishes the most and wants to learn about fishing culture from your country

- doesn’t mind you eating with your hands and gets you to teach him as well

- loves mishti!! rasgolla, rasmalai, barfi, sandesh, lassi you name it as a milk lover he’d like almost any desi sweets since they’re all made from milk

- doesn’t much understand bollywood and finds it a bit ridiculous but will watch it if you like it

- another person who likes desi ballads, if you sing to him he’ll melt and thinks your voice is the sweetest! is also into just vibing with the music on

- I hate to say it, but aunties will most likely judge him for how he looks : ( but they’ll soon realize he’s actually super sweet and might dote on him. Probably gets intimidated by uncles but it’s alright he gets along with your cousins the best!

- also uses gamucha when working out and uses it during hot days when fishing as well!

Formaggio

- only wants to learn swear words in your language LOL and only teaches you italian swear words

- at first your family might get creeped out by him but then finds out his background in biology and immediately asks why didn’t you also become a doctor KJBSDSD chats with the aunties the most!

- asks your grandma and aunties for their skincare secrets

Illuso

- Probably thinks you speaking your language is beautiful and would get into how poetic it is, probably believes it’s a language of love just as much as any European language

- Also likes the spicy food! but mostly loves paratha because of how versatile it is and because it’s like a pastry that you can eat with anything

- might need to get used to eating with hands but eventually likes it more than he realized he would

- actually appreciates bollywood for what it is, genuinely gets into the drama an might even get secretly emotional at the sad stories

- actually has favorite bollywood movies too

- also gets into desi fashion himself along with you he genuinely thinks its stylish

Ghiaccio

- demands to know your language and also demands you learn perfect italian, if you’re looking for a linguistic debate buddy in your partner he’s right there

- actually not that partial to desi food and may think italian food is better but he indulges in lentil type dishes (probably like daal makhni a lot)

- yeah he’s another one who would look at you strange for eating with hands but doesn’t mind it eventually when you tell him your culture

- WILL scream at how ridiculous some bollywood films are and how he doesn’t get the humor it’ll get even funnier if you watch desi soap operas and he starts talking about the gfx and sound effects

- but actually loves watching whatever with you because he likes spending time like that

- will listen to you rant in your language without understanding anything but still nod along and agree, you’ll probs do it when he’s ranting in italian lolol

- likes to play desi music out loud when you’re going for a long drive he likes how it creates a serene ambiance it helps him calm down

- yet another gamucha user, he’s skeptical about using it at first but loves how it feels on his skin after a goo workout

- don’t let him hear the aunties gossip he might quip back something rude and absolutely do NOT let him debate with the uncles it’ll turn ugly fast, just try to keep him calm in a desi function lol he might get along with cousins as well!

[sorry I couldn’t add sorbet and gelato i’m not yet sure about their characteristics :( ]

Homestyle Biriyani Recipe that is finger-licking GOOD!! #242

Homestyle Biriyani Recipe that is finger-licking GOOD!! Kolkata-style biriyani is a magic, the slow cooked meat melts in your moutht, yet the spice-infused big pieces of potatoes steal the slow!!

Biriyani is not just a food – its an emotion. From fixing a bad day to making a “Royal” meal, biriyani has always made its place into the menu of an Indian house-hold.In India different regions have their own specialty biriyani, which taste drastically different. While we can’t argue and come to a logical conclusion over which is the best biriyani, here’s my mum’s take on Kolkata-style…

1. Yes, I have. I am in love, I guess? I guess that's one thing I actually do believe in, that works wonders. And if I have to have faith in something, love is what I would choose. Because it may not be long-lasting, or happy (whatever that means) but it's always true. At least for me.

2. Well yes, and no. I don't believe in a Big Brother type of almighty CCTV. I think some humans, and some emotions are God. Or akin. I believe finding oneself, elevating oneself to the best version of yourself you can be, is religion.

3. Compromising on my principles/moral compass. Others might not find it easy either, but I feel like it's much more difficult for me. I take it personally and feel physically sick.

4. Meet my friends and boyfriend, eat biriyani and chocolate, listen to my favourite songs, write, read a few excerpts of my favourite books, watch a few clips from the Hobbit, Dead Poets. HUG MY PARENTS.

5.বাংলা। I know I'm 'fluent' already, but not to my liking. My mother tongue is a beautiful, beautiful language, and I would die happy if I could do justice to it.

6. None. I don't have regrets. But if I have to list one, it would probably be the fact I can't meet my favourite characters.

7. Hmm...A trek. To where, I don't know. A trek with my favourite people. We would have snow and ice, as well as picturesque valleys and streams.

8. I'm loyal. No matter what, I'm loyal.

9. Oh wow, here's a few :

- I am a Rock, Simon Garf.

- Can you feel my Heart, BMTH

- Time, Pink Floyd.

- Nishithorater Badol Dhara

- Bohu Bashonay

- O je mane na mana

10. Oh, it completely depends on the book. It depends on the feel of the book. Some books (Dorian Gray, LOTR, Harry Potter)deserve the middle of the night. Maurice, CMBYN deserve idyllic afternoons or dawn.

MY TURN :

1. Which fantasy book/world would you like to live in? Why?

2. If there's one instrument you could play extremely well, which one would you choose?

3. Which aesthetic appeals to you more? Country? Or city?

4. If someone made a 30 second trailer for you, which director would you choose?

5. What's the hobby that gives you the most peace? Why?

6. Preparing for the worst? Or hoping for the best?

7. If you were a chocolate, which one would you be? Why?

8. Describe the day you felt the happiest.

9. Spring, or fall? Why?

10. What inspires you more? Life, or death?
