The relationship with Hongjoong feels like a continuous exchange of artistic ideas. He’s intrigued when you introduce him to Caribbean beats—especially reggae and soca. He can’t help but play around with the rhythms, blending them with his own music. One evening, as you both sit by the beach, he plays a melody he’s been working on—a fusion of traditional Korean sounds mixed with a hint of reggae.
Hongjoong: nervously, holding his breath “I... I hope I did it justice. Do you like it?”
As the first few notes play, you smile and start dancing, feeling the beat blend both cultures perfectly.
You: grinning “Hongjoong, it’s amazing! You really listened—you got it so right!”
Hongjoong: relieved, lighting up “Really? That means everything. So, should we add lyrics together? Korean and... maybe a bit of Patois?”
This collaboration becomes something you both do regularly, and soon, he surprises you with a track dedicated to the beauty of Caribbean culture and his love for it.

Yeosang: smiling “And he really tricked the tiger? I love how clever he is.”
When he finds out some of these stories were told to you by your grandparents, he’s even more drawn in. On lazy weekend evenings, it becomes a routine for you both to share stories, and he insists on a new one each time, sometimes even adding his own twist.
Yeosang: grinning mischievously “What if Anansi had a little help this time?”

Mingi: coming up from the water, laughing “Did you see that fish? It looked straight at me!”
Afterward, as you both relax on the shore, he chats non-stop about the experience, already planning the next adventure.

jongho🧸
Unlike the bustling gatherings, Jongho’s favorite moments are the quiet ones spent exploring secluded beaches. One evening, he brings a picnic, and you watch the waves together, taking in the night air. He’s amazed by the serene beauty of the ocean at night, and it inspires him to open up to you in ways he usually doesn’t.
Jongho: softly, staring at the ocean “I’ve never felt this kind of peace before. It’s like the ocean is holding everything we’ve been through.”
You: nodding “This is where I feel closest to home.”
He squeezes your hand, grateful to share these peaceful moments with you, bonding over the beauty and simplicity of your island home.

I’ve been stressing for the last couple hours so here’s my combaticon nonsense. Here’s some food I think the comabticons would be good at cooking/enjoy. Realistically no way some of them can cook, but in my mind they can cook a bit. And also…this is just me projecting because I like food.
Onslaught: Mans can cook a wicked burger. I just know his ass likes to fire up a grill. I just KNOW he can make good BBQ alright. Porkchops, chicken, anything that can be grilled, onslaught can cook it. I feel like he can cook a solid meatloaf as well. He can definitely make Fijian curry roti. Over all he’s a solid cook.
Blast off: Blast off can cook. Will he cook for everyone? Thats a maybe. He would enjoy making pastas. Like Fettuccine Chicken Alfredo or lasagna. He also likes trying new curry recipes. When ever he tries new recipes he usually makes brawl and vortex try it to see if it’s bad or good. He’s also a solid baker when he’s really in the mood. He has perfected making macarons. He learned how to make tavioka, a secret favorite dessert of onslaughts. He also refuses to ever cook lobster and crawfish after being pinched once. HE LIKES MAKING THOSE FANCY CHEESE BOARD I KNOW IT !! With wine of course , he’s sophisticated.
Brawl: He enjoys grilling and cooking meet. (Anger issues be damned, my boy can work a grill!) He’s definitely the person who eats while cooking (just like me fr) . He can make really good chili, all the combaticons are surprised when they tried it because they’ve witness brawl almost burn down the kitchen but they all agree it’s damn good. Hear me out ! He’s a EXCELLENT poi pounder.It’s messy and takes time but I feel like he’d enjoy hitting kalo with a poi pounder. (It’s good for anger/stress relief and you get poi after. Win win.) also he eats kalua and dips it in poi.
Vortex: Dosent cook often (never he’s banned from the kitchen) he’ll eat whatever everyone else cooks. He seems like someone who will eat something off others plates. He’s a big fan of onslaughts burgers, blast offs cinnamon rolls, brawls chili, and swindles ajiaco. He’s banned from the kitchen but he knows how to fry fish. He guts em, scales em, all of it. And he’s really good at it. He’s been practicing making chicken adobo. He’s also definitely made brawl try balut one time
Swindle: Surprisingly swindle knows a lot of different food recipes! Him and blast off share a small collection of cook books. He’s good as making meals for himself. He’s a fan of instant food like ramen and other soups. He Dosent make complex meals but rather follows instructions or quick meals. But he’s also likes to cook Ajiaco for the other combaticons, they all enjoy it. As a treat. But most times swindle will mostly likely order take out food from restaurants he likes. Has he ripped off door dash before? Yes. (He definitely lets brawl eat what ever he doesn’t finish or he’ll store it away for later in a container labeled “Swindles ! Don’t eat ! Specially you brawl and vortex!”)
#transformers#tf#maccadam#onslaught#blast off#brawl#vortex#swindle#combaticons#macadam#YALL IM JUST HAVING FUN#…am I pushing headcannons…maybe#anyway yall#like I know for a fact brawl and vortex probably can’t cook but LET THEM COOK#I have a soft spot for cooking#this is me projecting because I’ve been thinking about this while cooking all day today

Khubz, alternatively transliterated as khoubz, khobez, khubz, or khubooz, is the usual word for "bread" in Standard Arabic and in many of the vernaculars.
Among the breads popular in Middle Eastern countries are "pocket" pita bread in the Levant and Egypt, and the flat tannur bread in Iraq.
The oldest known kind of bread, by archaeologists in Northern Jordan, dates back 14,000 years. It was a sort of unleavened flatbread made with several types of wild cereals.
Tannur bread. In Iraq, the most popular bread is the Tannur bread (ḵubz al-tannūr, خبز التنور) which resembles other slightly leavened flatbreads such as Iranian nan-e barbari, Central and South Asian flatbreads (such as naan), and pizza base.
The word tannur comes from the Akkadian word tinūru, which consists of the parts tin 'mud' and nuro/nura 'fire' and is mentioned as early as in the Akkadian Epic of Gilgamesh.
Six recipes for bread baked in a tannur are included in Ibn Sayyar al-Warraq's 10th century Kitab al-Tabikh cookery book.
As a result of the economic sanctions imposed on Iraq in the 1990s there was an increase in the making of bread in the traditional way in a tannur.
Pita bread. Pita is a flatbread found in many Mediterranean, Balkan, and Middle Eastern cuisines. In Arab countries, pita bread is produced as a round flatbread, 18 cm (7 in) to 30 cm (12 in) in diameter. It is thin and puffs up as it bakes. Since it does not contain any added fat, it dries out rapidly and is best consumed while still warm; later, it may become chewy.
The "pocket" pita originated in the Middle East. It is also known as Arab(ic) bread, Lebanese bread, or Syrian bread.
In Egyptian, Israeli, Palestinian, Jordanian, Lebanese, and Syrian cuisine, almost every savory dish can be eaten in or on pita bread. It is one of the staple food items in the Lebanese cuisine. Common fillings include falafel, lamb or chicken shawarma, kebab, omelettes such as shakshouka (eggs and tomatoes), hummus, and other mezes.
Nationals of other countries, for example, South Asians, also consume it as a replacement for roti with curries, cooked vegetables or meat (dry or gravy).

Healthy Indian food for weight loss
When it comes to healthy eating for weight loss, Indian cuisine offers a treasure trove of ingredients and cooking methods that can support your goals. Indian food is not just about rich curries and creamy sauces; it includes a range of healthy, low-calorie, and nutrient-dense options rooted in Ayurveda and regional traditions. Let’s explore various aspects of healthy Indian food that can aid in weight loss, along with some practical tips and popular recipes to get started.
1. Understanding Indian Ingredients for Weight Loss
a. Fiber-Rich Foods: Fiber is essential for weight loss because it aids digestion, promotes satiety, and stabilizes blood sugar levels. Indian diets naturally contain high-fiber foods like lentils (dal), chickpeas, leafy greens, and vegetables like okra (bhindi), eggplant (baingan), and gourds.
b. Protein Sources: Protein is vital for muscle maintenance and helps reduce hunger cravings. Indian diets are rich in plant-based protein sources like lentils, chickpeas, kidney beans, and tofu. Paneer (Indian cottage cheese) is a good protein source, though it should be consumed in moderation due to its fat content. Non-vegetarians can benefit from lean meats like chicken and fish.
c. Whole Grains: Switching refined grains for whole grains helps with weight loss and provides essential nutrients. Traditional whole grains like brown rice, millets (such as bajra, jowar, and ragi), and quinoa are excellent choices, offering more fiber and nutrients than polished white rice or refined wheat.
d. Healthy Fats: Contrary to popular belief, fats are essential for weight loss as they provide long-lasting energy and keep you satiated. The trick is to choose healthy fats, such as those found in ghee (clarified butter) in small amounts, and cooking oils like coconut oil, mustard oil, and olive oil.
e. Spices and Herbs: Indian spices and herbs like turmeric, cumin, ginger, cinnamon, and fenugreek are not only flavor-enhancers but also have health benefits that can aid in weight loss. Turmeric, for example, has anti-inflammatory properties that may help reduce obesity-related inflammation, while cinnamon can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
2. Structuring a Weight-Loss-Friendly Indian Diet
a. Emphasis on Portion Control: Traditional Indian meals are often accompanied by a variety of sides, making portion control a bit challenging. To support weight loss, focus on filling half your plate with vegetables, a quarter with whole grains, and a quarter with lean protein.
b. Eating Pattern – Small, Frequent Meals: Eating smaller, balanced meals throughout the day helps regulate blood sugar levels and reduces cravings. Instead of three large meals, aim for five to six smaller meals, including snacks.
c. Balanced Macronutrients: Make sure each meal contains protein, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates. A breakfast of oatmeal with nuts or a bowl of upma with vegetables provides a great balance of these macronutrients.
d. Hydration and Herbal Teas: Staying hydrated is crucial for weight loss. Herbal teas like green tea, ginger tea, and fennel tea can help with digestion, provide antioxidants, and may boost metabolism.
3. Sample Indian Meal Plan for Weight Loss
Breakfast Options:
Vegetable Poha: Made with flattened rice, loaded with vegetables, and flavored with turmeric and mustard seeds. This dish is low in calories, rich in fiber, and keeps you full.
Oats Upma: This twist on traditional upma uses oats instead of semolina and is packed with fiber and protein, making it a heart-healthy option for weight loss.
Besan Chilla: A savory pancake made from gram flour and vegetables, rich in protein and fiber.
Ragi Porridge: Ragi (finger millet) is gluten-free, rich in calcium, and has a low glycemic index, making it a great choice for those watching their weight.
Lunch Options:
Bajra Roti with Dal and Salad: Bajra (pearl millet) roti is high in fiber and pairs well with protein-rich dal and a side of fresh salad for a balanced meal.
Vegetable Curry with Brown Rice: Opt for a light vegetable curry made with minimal oil, combined with brown rice for a wholesome, low-calorie lunch.
Khichdi with Moong Dal and Vegetables: A simple dish of rice and moong dal with vegetables. Moong dal is easily digestible and rich in protein, making it ideal for weight loss.
Paneer Tikka with Salad: Grilled paneer marinated with spices and served with a side of fresh salad provides a protein-packed lunch option.
Dinner Options:
Grilled Fish with Stir-Fried Vegetables: Fish like salmon or mackerel are rich in omega-3 fatty acids and protein, while the stir-fried vegetables add fiber and antioxidants.
Vegetable Soup with Multigrain Bread: A light vegetable soup made with carrots, spinach, and tomatoes can be paired with a slice of multigrain bread.
Moong Dal Cheela with Green Chutney: This savory pancake is made from ground green moong dal and pairs well with mint chutney, offering a low-calorie, high-protein dinner.
Palak (Spinach) and Corn Curry with Quinoa: Spinach is nutrient-dense and low in calories. Paired with quinoa, this meal provides a good balance of protein and fiber.
Snack Options:
Roasted Chana (Chickpeas): High in protein and fiber, roasted chana makes for a crunchy and satisfying snack.
Fruits with Nuts: A small serving of apples, berries, or oranges with a handful of almonds or walnuts makes for a nutrient-rich snack.
Greek Yogurt with Chia Seeds: Greek yogurt is high in protein and probiotics, which support gut health. Adding chia seeds boosts the fiber content.
Vegetable Sticks with Hummus: Fresh carrot, cucumber, and bell pepper sticks with a small portion of hummus provide a low-calorie, nutrient-dense snack.
4. Practical Tips for Incorporating Indian Foods into a Weight-Loss Plan
Opt for Homemade Meals: Cooking at home gives you control over ingredients and portion sizes. Avoid heavy gravies made with cream or excess oil and opt for lighter, sautéed, steamed, or grilled options.
Be Mindful of Grains: Instead of piling up on rice or rotis, switch between different whole grains and limit portion sizes. Avoid refined grains like white rice and naan, which can spike blood sugar.
Use Low-Fat Cooking Methods: Choose methods like steaming, grilling, roasting, or boiling over deep frying. For instance, choose steamed idli over fried pakoras.
Limit Sugary Drinks and Desserts: Indian sweets are often calorie-dense. Instead, satisfy your sweet tooth with a small portion of fruit, dates, or homemade low-sugar desserts.
Spice It Up with Metabolism-Boosting Spices: Spices like turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, and black pepper not only add flavor but may also help increase metabolism and reduce inflammation.
5. Popular Weight-Loss Friendly Indian Recipes
1. Lauki (Bottle Gourd) Soup: This low-calorie, fiber-rich soup is filling and helps in digestion.
Ingredients:
1 cup chopped lauki (bottle gourd)
1 small onion, chopped
1 clove garlic
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh coriander leaves
Method: Boil lauki and onion with garlic until soft, then blend. Season with salt, pepper, and garnish with coriander.
2. Tandoori Cauliflower: A healthy alternative to deep-fried snacks, tandoori cauliflower is marinated in yogurt and spices and then baked.
3. Sprouted Moong Salad: Sprouted moong beans are rich in protein and fiber, ideal for a quick snack.
Ingredients:
1 cup sprouted moong beans
Chopped cucumber, tomato, onion
Lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste
Fresh coriander leaves
4. Methi (Fenugreek) Paratha with Curd: Methi paratha made with whole wheat flour and fresh fenugreek leaves provides fiber and essential vitamins.
6. Final Thoughts: Building a Sustainable Weight Loss Plan with Indian Foods
To maintain a healthy lifestyle and support weight loss with Indian cuisine, focus on creating balanced meals that incorporate fiber, lean protein, and healthy fats. Portion control, low-fat cooking methods, and including plenty of vegetables can make Indian food a fantastic choice for sustainable weight loss. By making small, consistent changes to how you prepare and choose your meals, Indian food can be a flavorful and effective path to your health goals.

Chicken Kadai: A Flavorful Delight from Indian Cuisine
When it comes to Indian cuisine, few dishes can compete with the vibrant flavors and aromatic spices of Chicken Kadai. This beloved curry, named after the traditional wok-like vessel called a “kadai,” is a staple in many Indian households and restaurants. Known for its rich and spicy taste, Chicken Kadai is a perfect example of how Indian cooking combines simple ingredients to create extraordinary flavors. Let’s explore the origins, ingredients, and preparation of this delightful dish.
A Brief History of Chicken Kadai
Chicken Kadai originates from the northern regions of India, particularly Punjab and Rajasthan. The term "kadai" refers to the round, deep vessel used for cooking, which is commonly found in Indian kitchens. While Chicken Kadai can be traced back to traditional cooking methods, it has evolved over time to include various regional influences, making it a versatile and widely appreciated dish. Today, Chicken Kadai is enjoyed not just in India but also around the world, becoming a favorite in Indian restaurants globally.
What Makes Chicken Kadai Special?
The magic of Chicken Kadai lies in its bold flavors and the use of fresh ingredients. Here are the key components that make this dish stand out:
1. Tender Chicken
The star of the dish is, of course, the chicken. Whether you choose bone-in pieces for added flavor or boneless cuts for convenience, the chicken is cooked until tender and juicy, absorbing the rich spices of the gravy.
2. Aromatic Spices
Chicken Kadai is known for its robust spice blend. Common spices include cumin, coriander, turmeric, garam masala, and red chili powder. The careful combination of these spices creates a depth of flavor that is both warming and satisfying.
3. Fresh Vegetables
The dish often includes bell peppers, onions, and tomatoes, which add texture, color, and a slight sweetness that balances the spices. These vegetables are usually sautéed until soft and then incorporated into the gravy.
4. Kadai Masala
A defining feature of Chicken Kadai is the "kadai masala," a special spice blend that often includes crushed coriander seeds and dried red chilies. This masala is typically prepared fresh and adds a distinct flavor profile to the dish.
How to Make Chicken Kadai
Cooking Chicken Kadai at home is a delightful experience! Here’s a simple recipe to help you create this flavorful dish:
Ingredients:
500g chicken, cut into pieces
2 tablespoons oil or ghee
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 tomatoes, pureed
1 bell pepper, diced
2-3 green chilies, slit
1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon coriander powder
1 teaspoon red chili powder
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 tablespoon crushed coriander seeds
Salt to taste
Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions:
Heat the Oil: In a kadai or heavy-bottomed pan, heat the oil or ghee over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle.
Sauté Onions: Add the finely chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
Add Ginger-Garlic Paste: Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and cook for a couple of minutes until the raw smell disappears.
Incorporate Tomatoes: Add the tomato puree and cook until the oil starts to separate from the mixture.
Spice it Up: Add the diced bell pepper, green chilies, and the spice powders: coriander, red chili, turmeric, and salt. Stir well to combine.
Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the pan, mixing well to coat them in the spice mixture. Cover and cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Add Kadai Masala: Sprinkle in the crushed coriander seeds and garam masala, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve hot with naan, roti, or steamed rice.
Why You’ll Love Chicken Kadai
Chicken Kadai is more than just a meal; it’s a celebration of flavors and textures. The combination of tender chicken, aromatic spices, and fresh vegetables makes it a satisfying dish that’s perfect for family dinners or special occasions. Pair it with warm naan or fluffy rice for a truly indulgent experience.
A Versatile Dish
One of the best things about Chicken Kadai is its versatility. You can easily modify the recipe to suit your taste preferences. Add more vegetables, adjust the spice levels, or even substitute chicken with paneer or tofu for a vegetarian version.
Conclusion
Chicken Kadai is a true delight for the senses, combining rich flavors, aromatic spices, and wholesome ingredients. It embodies the heart of Indian cooking, where simple elements come together to create something truly extraordinary. So the next time you’re looking to impress at the dinner table, consider whipping up a pot of Chicken Kadai. Your family and friends will be sure to ask for seconds!

Biryani: This flavorful, spiced rice dish is a must-try for anyone visiting an Indian restaurant. Whether made with chicken, lamb, or vegetables, biryani is cooked with fragrant basmati rice, saffron, and a mix of aromatic spices that make it a feast for the senses.
Samosas: For a tasty appetizer, start with samosas. These crispy, deep-fried pastries are filled with a savory mixture of potatoes, peas, and spices, making them a delightful snack before the main course.
Palak Paneer: A vegetarian dish featuring cubes of paneer (Indian cottage cheese) cooked in a spinach-based gravy, palak paneer is both nutritious and flavorful. It’s a popular choice for those who love Indian food but prefer lighter, healthier options.

Introduction
Mushroom Tikka Masala is a delicious vegetarian twist on the popular tikka masala dish, traditionally made with chicken or paneer. It combines the earthy flavors of mushrooms with a rich, creamy, and spiced tomato gravy, making it a perfect meal for both vegetarians and mushroom lovers. Here’s a deep dive into the nutritional benefits of mushrooms and a detailed recipe to make this flavorful dish at home.
Nutritional Benefits of Mushrooms
Mushrooms are not only versatile and tasty but also packed with essential nutrients that contribute to overall health. Here are some of the key benefits of adding mushrooms to your diet:
Low in Calories: Mushrooms are low in calories, making them a great option for those watching their calorie intake.
Rich in Antioxidants: Mushrooms, especially varieties like white button mushrooms, contain antioxidants like selenium, which help protect cells from damage and support the immune system.
Good Source of Vitamin D: They are one of the few plant-based sources of vitamin D, which is crucial for bone health and immune function.
Boosts Immune System: Mushrooms contain beta-glucans, a type of soluble fiber that can enhance immune system function.
High in Protein: Though not as protein-dense as legumes, mushrooms provide a good amount of plant-based protein, especially useful in vegetarian or vegan diets.
Supports Heart Health: Mushrooms contain potassium and fiber, both of which are beneficial for maintaining healthy blood pressure levels and supporting cardiovascular health.
Mushroom Tikka Masala Recipe
Ingredients:
For the marinade:
200g mushrooms (button or baby bella)
3 tbsp yogurt (use plant-based yogurt for a vegan version)
1 tsp ginger-garlic paste
1 tsp red chili powder
½ tsp turmeric powder
½ tsp garam masala
½ tsp cumin powder
1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tsp red chili powder
1 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp coriander powder
½ tsp cumin powder
1 tsp garam masala
¼ cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for a vegan option)
Fresh coriander leaves for garnish
Salt to taste
Instructions:
Marinate the Mushrooms:
In a mixing bowl, combine yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, cumin powder, lemon juice, and salt.
Add the mushrooms and coat them well in the marinade. Let them rest for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Grill or Pan-fry the Mushrooms:
After marination, either skewer the mushrooms and grill them on a high flame until slightly charred, or pan-fry them in a non-stick pan with a bit of oil until golden brown. Set aside.
Prepare the Gravy:
In a pan, heat oil or butter. Add the finely chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.
Add ginger-garlic paste and cook until the raw smell disappears.
Pour in the tomato puree and cook until the oil starts separating from the mixture.
Add the spice powders — red chili, turmeric, coriander, cumin, and garam masala. Cook the mixture for a few minutes until aromatic.
Stir in the cream and let the gravy simmer for a few minutes. Add salt to taste.
Combine and Serve:
Add the grilled or fried mushrooms to the gravy and let them simmer for 5–10 minutes so they absorb the flavors of the sauce.
Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
Serve hot with naan, roti, or basmati rice.
