Biryani for Weight Loss: Smart Swaps and Strategies

Biryani, with its fragrant rice, succulent meats, and aromatic spices, is a culinary masterpiece. However, its reputation as a calorie-dense dish often leaves health-conscious individuals and those aiming for weight loss feeling conflicted. The good news is that you don't have to bid farewell to biryani altogether. With a few smart swaps and strategies, you can enjoy this beloved dish while staying on track with your health goals.

The Calorie Conundrum

Traditional biryani recipes often include generous amounts of refined white rice, ghee (clarified butter), and oil, which contribute to its high calorie count. Additionally, some variations may feature fatty cuts of meat or deep-fried elements, further amplifying the calorie content.

Strategies for a Lighter Biryani

Brown Rice Revolution: Replace refined white rice with brown rice. Brown rice is a whole grain, rich in fiber and nutrients. The fiber content helps you feel fuller for longer, potentially reducing overall calorie intake.

Lean Protein Power: Opt for leaner cuts of meat like chicken breast or fish. If using red meat, choose lean cuts and trim visible fat. These choices significantly reduce the saturated fat content.

Vegetable Variety: Increase the proportion of vegetables in your biryani. Vegetables like carrots, beans, peas, and cauliflower add bulk, flavor, and essential nutrients without piling on calories.

Spice it Up: Biryani's signature flavors come from a blend of aromatic spices. Spices like turmeric, cumin, coriander, and chili powder not only enhance taste but also offer potential health benefits. Some studies suggest that certain spices may boost metabolism and aid in weight management.

Ghee with Caution: While the aroma of ghee is tempting, use it sparingly. Consider alternatives like olive oil or avocado oil, which offer heart-healthy fats.

Portion Control: Be mindful of portion sizes. Enjoy a moderate serving of biryani as part of a balanced meal.

Cooking Methods Matter: Instead of deep-frying components like onions or potatoes, try roasting or grilling them for a healthier twist.

Yogurt-Based Marinades: Marinating meat in yogurt not only tenderizes it but also adds a tangy flavor. Yogurt-based marinades can be a healthier alternative to those heavy in oil.

Healthy Sidekicks: Pair your biryani with a refreshing salad or raita (yogurt-based condiment). These additions provide hydration, fiber, and probiotics, further enhancing the nutritional value of your meal.

Mindful Eating: Savour each bite, paying attention to your body's hunger and fullness cues. Eating slowly allows you to enjoy the flavors and prevents overeating.

Sample Recipe: Lighter Chicken Biryani

Ingredients:

Brown rice

Boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into cubes

Assorted vegetables (carrots, beans, peas, cauliflower)

Yogurt

Onions

Tomatoes

Ginger-garlic paste

Biryani spices (turmeric, cumin, coriander, chili powder, garam masala)

Fresh herbs (cilantro, mint)

Cook brown rice according to package directions.

Sauté onions, tomatoes, and ginger-garlic paste in olive oil.

Add marinated chicken and vegetables.

Combine with cooked brown rice, spices, and herbs.

Cook on low heat until flavors meld.

Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice.

Remember: This is just a sample recipe. You can customize it to your preferences and dietary needs.

The Bottom Line

Biryani doesn't have to be a dietary enemy. By making thoughtful choices and incorporating healthy swaps, you can enjoy this flavorful dish without derailing your weight loss journey. It's all about balance, moderation, and mindful eating. So go ahead, savor the aromas and flavors of biryani, knowing you're making smart choices for your health and taste buds.

Chicken Biriyani Indian at Chaskka Oslo

Chicken Biryani is a classic Indian dish known for its rich flavors, aromatic spices, and layers of perfectly cooked rice and marinated chicken. Here’s a detailed and easy-to-follow recipe for making delicious Chicken Biryani at home.

Chicken Biryani Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Chicken Marinade:

500g (1 lb) Boneless Chicken Thighs or Breasts, cut into medium pieces

1 cup Plain Greek Yogurt

2 tbsp Lemon Juice

1 tbsp Ginger-Garlic Paste (equal parts minced ginger and garlic)

1 tbsp Biryani Masala or Garam Masala

1/2 tsp Ground Turmeric

1 tsp Red Chili Powder (adjust to taste)

1 tsp Salt

For the Rice:

2 cups Basmati Rice

4 cups Water

2 Bay Leaves

4 Cloves

4 Green Cardamom Pods

1 Cinnamon Stick

1 tsp Salt

1 tbsp Ghee or Butter

For the Biryani:

3 tbsp Ghee or Vegetable Oil

2 Large Onions, thinly sliced

2 Green Chilies, slit (optional)

2 Tomatoes, chopped

1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro, chopped

1/4 cup Fresh Mint Leaves, chopped

1/4 cup Warm Milk (optional)

A pinch of Saffron threads (optional)

1/2 tsp Biryani Masala or Garam Masala

1/4 cup Fried Onions (for garnish, optional)

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Chicken:

In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, lemon juice, ginger-garlic paste, biryani masala, turmeric, red chili powder, and salt.

Add the chicken pieces and mix well, ensuring they are thoroughly coated.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight for deeper flavors.

2. Prepare the Rice:

Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

In a large pot, bring the 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the bay leaves, cloves, cardamom pods, cinnamon stick, salt, and ghee or butter.

Add the rinsed rice and cook until it's about 70-80% done (parboiled), which usually takes about 5-7 minutes. The rice should still have a bite to it.

Drain the rice and set aside.

3. Cook the Chicken:

Heat the ghee or oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Add the sliced onions and cook until golden brown and caramelized, stirring frequently (about 10-15 minutes).

Add the green chilies (if using) and the chopped tomatoes. Cook until the tomatoes soften and the oil starts to separate (about 5 minutes).

Add the marinated chicken pieces along with the marinade to the pot. Cook on medium-high heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.

4. Layering the Biryani:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) if you plan to bake the biryani. Alternatively, you can cook it on the stovetop.

In the same pot with the cooked chicken, sprinkle half of the chopped cilantro and mint.

Spread half of the partially cooked rice over the chicken evenly.

Layer the remaining chicken pieces and marinade, followed by the rest of the rice.

Sprinkle the remaining cilantro and mint on top.

5. Adding Saffron (optional):

Soak the saffron threads in the warm milk for a few minutes.

Drizzle the saffron milk over the top layer of rice for added flavor and color.

6. Cook the Biryani:

If using the oven, cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid or aluminum foil and bake for 25-30 minutes until the rice is fully cooked and the flavors meld together.

If cooking on the stovetop, cover the pot and cook on low heat for about 25-30 minutes, ensuring the bottom doesn’t burn (use a heat diffuser if necessary).

7. Serve:

Once cooked, gently fluff the rice with a fork to mix the layers without breaking the rice grains.

Garnish with fried onions if desired.

Serve hot with raita (yogurt sauce) or a side salad.

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚ ➛ out of the woods - chapter seven (ls2)

Logan tries to give the two of short break in Bali. Which does succeed, but then the Canadian GP tears down anything Dhanishka had left to stand on. Good thing she's got Logan, the Norris' and Charles, right?

warnings/notes: alright buckle in. Like two sex jokes, car accidents, concussions/migraines, lightly mentioned injuries, the FIA doing their job, heavy heavy betrayal, me yet again trying to hint at the biggest Marketing Ploy x Out Of The Woods connection no one has noticed LMAO

Logan's arm is firm around my waist as I stir the food in the pan, watching the sizzle of the chicken against the oil underneath it. I murmur along to the song playing, and Logan sways us to the rhythm. I'm home for a weekend with him while my parents are off in Cambridge with my sister for her college visit. We'd taken the invitation to house sit, deciding to take a full break in the short interim off we have before we both have to leave for Canada.

"We should go somewhere." Logan hums, mouth peppering a kiss to my bare shoulder next to the strap of my tank top. He's been abnormally clingy, and while I would usually mind... it feels nice.

"Where would we even go, Lo?"

He smiles, beginning to pepper soft kisses to my shoulder, trailing them up my neck as he speaks, "Well, Dalton and his wife are in Bali this weekend. He told me he wants to see you again."

"Bali? That's a like.. fifteen hour flight from here." I chuckle, squirming when his kisses get a little ticklish around my neck and the air he huffs out in a alguh rolls across my skin.

"Fifteen hours there, then a twenty three hour flight to Canada." He says, "I looked into it."

I blink, then look down at him, "You already bought the tickets, didn't you?"

Logan smirks and I laugh, capturing his lips in a soft kiss, "I'll tell my parents tonight when they get back. I'm sure they won't mind."

Logan grins and pops a few more kisses to my lips, cheeks, and forehead before I shooing him away so I can keep cooking. The meal I'm making is not something I'd typically be eating, because its for Logan's meal plan, but luckily his team had let me throw in a small bit of Indian influence to the dish via a makeshift biryani dish. Which I know Logan's been missing by the way he melts when he steals a bite.

"You cook like your mom used to when we were kids." Logan groans against my shoulder and I laugh, taking my own spoonful and pouting a bit because its not as flavorful as we used to make it.

"You have to come to Bahrain over your winter break so you can have a proper Aayi Dubey biryani with all the spices and such." I muse, "it's lacking my mothers proper smothering of spices, sadly meal plans do restrict us from going full Indian mother here."

Logan nods, taking a bit more of the rice dish into his mouth and I laugh softly before making us two bowls of it to eat. He starts washing up some of the dishes while I'm setting the table, and I mange to pull him away to eat--promising we'll finish cleaning later.

We don't talk of much, other than him calling Dalton to let him know we'll be in Bali in two days their time. He taps his sock against my leg as I stare out the window at the setting sun. It's comfortable, just existing with him.

"I never thought we'd get here." Logan admits and I turn, looking at him curiously which makes him continue, "I thought you'd hate me through this whole thing after that night and we'd never speak again."

"I did too, to be honest." I laugh softly, finishing off the last of my rice and setting the bowl aside to take Logan's hands to stop him from picking at his fingers, "I called Lando about it, since he was the only person I knew in London at the time since Oscar was... I don't even remember, and Charles was in Monaco. I went to his and Olivia's apartment, the one they have over here because of McLaren? They told me I should just go through with the plan and do the whole fake dating thing because we kinda had too, but also to see if it maybe wasn't as one sided as I thought."

Logan just starts to giggle, small laughs that slowly grow louder before he brings my hand to his lips again, kissing my palm and then each finger.

"What's got you like this?" I laugh in response, and he grins at me sloppily with the most lovestruck look as his lips hover over my left hand. His bottom lip just brushing along my ring finger as he smiles and shrugs.

"Funnily enough, Dalton told me the same thing.” He firmly kisses my ring finger now, and just resorts to playing with my hands as a fidget instead, “You really fell for me huh?"

And now it's my turn to laugh, standing up to lean over the table to properly kiss my boyfriend. He grins, meeting me halfway with a gentle caress of my jaw and when we pull back, I rest my forehead to his.

"I was always in love with you, dumbass."

Hours later we're at that same table, Logan making sure the little decorative centerpiece my mother has is perfectly clean while I dot my lipstick back to perfection.

I figured cleaning the entire house and then making ourselves well pull together would keep my father from realizing we'd done nothing but laze around for the last few days.

Hey, we were on break, okay?

“Aw fuck.” I complain as I twist out my lipstick a bit more. Logan hums, looking over at me as I groan impatiently as I pull the whole tube up.

At the second groan he asks, “What’s a matter?”

“I’m almost out of lipstick.” I whine in complaint and he huffs out a laugh, stepping around the table to press a few soft kisses to my cheek.

"We can buy more tomorrow, yeah? Isn't there a Dior in City Centre?" He hums, pressing a kiss to my lips that has me rubbing the lipstick off his lips with a laugh as his arms wrap firmly around my waist.

"Yes, but it's fine, I can get it later and--"

Logan cuts me off with a firmer kiss this time, letting me wipe the lipstick off his lips again as he says, "Let me buy you a refill. For old times sake."

"Fine." I smile as the door opens and Logan retracts to just make it look like he was taking the lipstick from me to put it in my purse. I smile as Anya bounces to my side and starts babbling about the campus and such. I glance over my shoulder to see Logan with mt parents and the smile and wink my mom sends me says one thing,

This is all gonna work out.

I'm standing in the bathroom of the hotel this time when Logan wraps his arms around my waist. I can hear Dalton and Ashlynn laughing in the connected living room, it feels weirdly homely as he presses a soft kiss to my jaw as one of his hands rubs small soothing circles against my hip bone.

"James call you?" I asked, I had been the one to hand him his phone, so I had seen the caller ID.

"He asked about you, actually." Logan rests his head on my shoulder once I've finished fixing up my hair and I hum as I lean back into his touch. His arms are firm, and the way his gaze wanders across my face tells me he's thinking as he takes one of my hands. My left ring finger is pecked by his lips before he settles them back at my waist again.

"Me?" I hum, watching the way he nods and still thinks. I assume it's the wording as his hands fiddle with something. I'm too focused on doing my eyeliner to look.

"You didn't answer your phone and he wanted to say he’s got the final draft of your contract ready to be signed.”

I laugh softly, looking at him in the mirror, “Wow, already?”

"Mhm." Logan kisses my cheek once I'm done with my eyeliner and steps aside to just watch me finish up my makeup. Once I've sprayed myself down with setting spray, I go to grab my lipstick and open it, pausing when I notice it's refilled.

Logan wears a triumphant smile.

"You." I poke his chest and giggle, capping the lipstick before turning around to kiss him. He laughs into the kiss, catching himself on the doorway as his hands slide around my lower back. One kiss turns to two, and ever since we'd fallen back in love it'd been impossible to keep off of eachother. Like we were making up for lost time.

A few seconds after a soft groan leaves the back of Logan's throat, followed by my giggle, Dalton shouts,

"I'm walking in, you both better be dressed!"

Logan and I laugh and I part from him, lifting my hands to fix up the bits of his hair that I'd jostled. Dalton smiles as he steps in and looks us over.

"What did you think we were doing?" Logan says to Dalton who shrugs, punching his brothers arm.

"Something not PG." Dalton shrugs and I blush, now taking my turn to whack his chest.

"Not with your immature ass around," I hum, turning back to finish up my make-up while Dalton and Logan talk about getting to our dinner reservation.

It's weird how naturally I slot into this little family, like I've always belonged.

Canada starts great. Luckily for Logan, and his success in straights, theres quite a few here. Unluckily for me, it means my overtaking this weekend is gonna be shit.

But, I know I'll fight.

I qualify Q3, beating Logan out by less than .5 or even smaller. I can't even really remember as the whole weekends a blur. Ferrari is practically running me ragged, insane amounts of training, simulator work, media... I'm exhausted each night when I fall into Logan's hotel room bed. His arms barely wrapping around me before I'm asleep against his chest.

He promises it's okay, but I feel like shit each morning for not spending time with him. But he just presses a kiss to my jaw and squeezes my hip as I get out of bed way too early to shower.

And after three nights of that, it's time for the race. By Sunday I feel like a husk, trudging myself to the garage with a water bottle full of Red Bull I'd stolen from Max. I go through the motions, take my migraine medication just as a precaution as I feel a headache forming.

And the first half of the race is fine, until I overtake Oscar to fight Carlos for P3. And I manage to get him on the hairpin turn, but something is weird about how easily he lets me by. The back wheel of my car clips something and I start to spin. I right myself, but narrowly dodge Carlos, who whips around me.

It's fine. I'm fine.

Something bumps me again and I check my mirrors, one of the RB cars coming very close to my side. I curse, steering in a bit more and understeering to get out of who I assume is Yuki's way before I'm blocking him from overtaking.

When did he get around Oscar?

"Wing damage, wing damage, I need to box." I curse into my headset, feeling the steering starting to go. It's always my steering first, I expect the rear wing to follow shortly.

"Copy."

I turn in a bit harder now, trying to get to the pit lane. It's becoming harder to steer and I feel panic rising in my stomach but I clamp it down. All I can do in this moment is trust myself, and trust my training.

I don't make it to the pitlane.

We go back through the hairpin and Carlos juts out, making me swerve to dodge. With my shit steering, it sends me into a spin. I shriek, grabbing my harness as the car--and the world around me, shuffles and spins. When the car stills I huff out slow breaths, willing myself to open my eyes.

I'm in the wall.

I can't move.

I force breaths in, force my hands to unstick from my harness. My hands come to the steering wheel and I shake, trying to disconnect it. Everything feels disconnected. I can't hear. The world is blurry. I feel sick. Sicker than sick. I manage to get the steering wheel out, tossing it up to the top of the car.

I realize no ones called for me over the radio, through the incessant ringing in my ears.

I click off the restraints slowly, trying not to jostle my aching ribs, and I get out of my car with shaking arms. And then promptly fall back in.

"Fuck!" I shriek, groaning and arching my back out of pure pain. Two hands come to my shoulders and I lift my head to see Lando. I know he's talking, but my head is swimming too much to focus on his words.

"C'mon, Danny." Lando's voice finally cuts through when he lifts my visor, "C'mon, we're gonna get you out, okay?"

"Your race..!" I gasp and he shakes his head.

"I can always get more points later, but I can't do anything if you're seriously injured and I don't help you now." He says and I nod. His hands grab under my shoulders and he helps hoist me up to sit on the halo. I try to focus, but find myself in a haze.

Somehow, I end up on a stretcher. My helmet is off and I blink slowly as Lando holds my hands.

"Dhanishka." He says softly. When did he take his helmet off?

"Lando." I hum back as the stretcher starts to roll. He follows, his hands tight in mine as he follows inside the ambulance. They've got me covered in blankets, and something clicks.

"Lando. Lando." I start saying, slapping his hands when he's not looking at me. He stops, taking my hands in his, but I just see that he's looking at me so I gasp out, "tell Logan to race. He's gonna wanna not because I got hit, tell him he has to. Tell him I said so."

When Lando nods, coaxing me to lay down again as they strap me in, I feel a bit more at ease... but the world is still soft and fuzzy and I still feel sick.

Concussed, strained muscles around my ribs, and something fucked up with my shoulder.

I'm out fully for a week, I'll skip Barcelona and be back for Austria.

Lando and Olivia are by my side when I'm told. Olivia taking it upon herself to use my phone to call my parents to let them know what was going on, and when she disappears into the hall, Lando keeps a soothing hand intertwined with mine. It's my first injury, ever. Not just a sore spot that'll go away.

And of course, the hazy symptom I'd been feeling all weekend had to be a major migraine on its way. So I'm grumpy, in serious pain, and quickly losing my stomach in a hospital bathroom while a nurse gently ties my hair back and rubs my shoulders while Lando goes out in the hall to grab Olivia.

I'm so weak I can hardly move, and the nurse is so kind, so gentle. It makes me want to cry as she guides me through the hardest parts of my migraine and gets some painkillers for my IV when it's clear I'm only set to get worse.

It takes off the edge as I'm coaxed to lay down in bed once more, a bucket off to the side if needed.

I learn from the TV playing in the room that Logan went on to place P5 behind Oscar, Carlos, Charles, and Max, in that upwards succession. Which makes me feel better a bit as Lando and Olivia help me get situated. It's only been maybe twenty minutes since the race ended, but I can hear more commotion outside than before.

A nurse calls out my room number and it takes maybe two seconds before Logan comes through the door, still in his racing gear, holding his helmet, panting like he’d ran straight here.

He had, hadn't he?

“Isa.” he sighs and I smile, extending a heavy arm to him. He shuts the door, blocking the hall light and makes his way inside the little makeshift room. He slots perfectly against my side and gently kisses my head, sighing once he’s got me safe in his hands. I wrap my un-IV'd arm around Logan shoulder, kissing what part of his head I can reach without moving. He settles me back against the blankets as Lando gives him his chair, going to get another from the hall.

Olivia sighs softly and moves a bit closer to check my IV, “She’s pretty badly concussed. Strained some muscles around her ribs and her shoulder. She's out for Barcelona, they're gonna try to get her back in for Austria."

"Ah, shit." Logan hums and I lean into his touch so he shifts so one of his hands holds mine, the other running through the wispy bangs by my face that have fallen out of my ponytail.

"Lo..." I murmur softly and he hums, looking down at my small pout. A tiny smile crosses his lips as he leans down to peck mine, then rests his forehead to mine as I whine, "my head hurts."

"I know, baby." He's basically crooning, kissing the tip of my nose and squeezing my hand, "you're gonna be alright."

Olivia gives a tiny sigh, patting Lando's arm and making a vague motion for him to follow her out of the room. They leave me and Logan in silence, the only sound the soft noise of his thumb running along my knuckles, the heart monitors methodical beeps, and the occasional kiss.

Logan, Lando, and Olivia take me back to Ferrari. The two Norris' waiting outside while I slip in with Logan. I'm only half sneaking him in and out, because if Ferrari even tried to raise hell with me when I was as in pain and as pissed off as I was right now, someone would be getting hit.

I nod to Charles when I enter and he gives me a half nod, trying to conceal the way I sneak Logan in by engrossing the engineer with a few more questions about... my car?

Why mine? Why not his?

I let the question slip from my mind, I figure I can ask him later, and go to my room. Logan helps me collect my stuff, having already brought me a change of clothes to the hospital given to him by Charles. Logan uses my phone to send a text to my manager Lucie to show her the damage to the suit, helmet, and shoes so she can get me set for new ones and then we make sure I have all my belongings and bounce.

I'm halfway through shutting the door when I hear Charles shout, "You did what?!"

"She's an idiot if she hasn't realized by now." I hear a mechanic say and I clamp a hand over Logan's mouth, he's about to complain (which, I'm sneaking him out of my drivers room, he has no right to) when a cruel laugh echoes followed by Charles' shocked gasp.

A short conversation in French, slowly getting louder and louder, is cut off by a loud slap and a scuffle. Eyes widening as I hear the two beginning to shout even louder and I grab Logan by the sleeve and shove him in my drivers room. His big eyes watch me as I pause, one hand on the door before I curse and look back at him with a sort of flame in my eyes.

"Stay!" I hiss, before slamming the door shut and following the hall to the garage. He feet carry me, sliding on the balls of my feet into the room as Charles shoved a mechanic against a wall.

"Charlie!" I shriek despite my head pounding, moving forward, knocking him to the ground with my shoulder. As he fall he pants up at me and I turn to the mechanic, then down to Charles, then step back.

"What the fuck is going on?!"

Charles wipes blood from his own nose and slowly rises to his feet. There's a challenge in his eyes, and a challenge in the mechanics--and I come to realize that Aakash stands off to the side with his fists tight.

"What is this?!" I shout again and look down the hall where Astrid is dragging Logan out of my room and I blink, straightening up. She basically tosses Logan at me, and my arms shoot out to grab him as he sticks to my side.

"Ferrari's been purposefully fucking up your car this entire season! Aakash and his--" Charles starts to say before Aakash moves. It's Logan who manages to intercept, shoving me behind him as he shoves Aakash to the floor. My eyes widen to literal dinner plates, backing up until my back hits something and I look up to see Olivia.

Lando seems to have given up on holding her back as she holds her phone up.

"Charles, talk." She snips and the Monégasques listens, quickly spilling everything from his lips as Logan keeps Aakash and the other mechanic at bay, Astrid glaring daggers.

"Aakash has been having the engineers purposefully loosen the steering and rear wings, causing any and all jostling to randomly disengage them. They have it all written out on Aakash's computers, even if he tries to delete the files Ferrari keeps all changes up to a month." Charles shouts, moving closer to where Olivia keeps a hold on my shoulders. Logan backs off as well when Lando calls him over, but the guys stand in front of me and Olivia, like a wall.

"Astrid's plan was to have Dhaniska continuously wreck out so that there would be positive PR of Logan coming to her aid, but bad PR for Dhanishka because she keeps wrecking." Charles says and I see Olivia's jaw tick, her eyes glancing back to Lando's who's are equally as shifty.

Somethings not right.

Olivia and Lando echo each other as they say, "Who?"

"My manager," Logan peeks over his shoulder, "Astrid Marina."

"Oh you've gotta be--" Lando starts but Olivia's shoving her phone in my hands. And I'm reminded of the time Lando had called her the 'most aggressive Piastri' at a bar during Monaco's weekend as he darts forward but not before Olivia delivers a strong backhand to Astrid.

"You fucking bitch! They're not your little PR playthings!" Olivia screams and Lando grabs her arm, pulling her back as she keeps shouting, "I should've made sure no fucking team ever hired you again but I didn't think anyone was that level of stupid!"

Logan and I share a confused look. How the fuck does Olivia know Astrid and what the hell did Astrid do to her?

“She’s Astrid?!” Charles shouts, “what the fuck?”

“Why do you all know her!” Logan shouts and the room goes quiet. Olivia's mouth gapes, but it's interrupted by a few stewards entering the garage to see what's happening. My headache flares and I grip Logan's arm when everyone starts shouting over each other and he escorts me outside where it's a bit colder and a lot quieter.

"I-I don't understand." I eventually choke out, and Logan wraps me tight in his arms. Soft kisses are pressed to my head as he coaxes me to sit with him on the ground outside Ferrari.

And when a steward approaches us, and he sits with us, I wish I could be surprised by the fact we're being interrogated.

But yet, I'm not surprised.

I feel like Rhys makes some good ass hot chai.

Not like the chai’s from coffee shops if that makes sense, but the real authentic shit that you can make at home.

I’m craving some hot chai right now but I can’t make any because I used up the last of my ingredients last night and I don’t want to go to the store 😔😔

He’s also a great cook. Had to throw that in there.

He really does. Rhysand is a pro at making chai, the mother hen he is. Male is putting the cinnamon and cardamom into the chai with the cloves and it is just mwah, chefs kiss.

I can agree that he makes some bomb ass food, though he rarely does it. His mother def taught him how to make chicken biryani that is so spicy, your mouth waters every time you have it. And the beef nihari he makes??? Shut the fuck up its so fucking good. The spice, the beef literally falling apart in your mouth with the buttered naan that he made himself.

sigh, he is the best cook out of the two of you, and while you loathe to admit it, he makes the best chai in the WORLD.

Also don't even get me started on the fact that he hand feeds you your meals. You are his QUEEN, and you are not lifting a finger. Not even for fresh cooked palaou. His favorite part is when you use your teeth to scrap the flavor off his fingers. Def gets the slut in him going imo.

Spices can enhance the flavor of a wide variety of foods and can take a dish from ordinary to extraordinary. Experimenting with different spices and flavor combinations can help you discover new and exciting ways to make your meals taste mouth-watering good.

Examples of food and spice combinations:

1. Meat dishes: Spices can add depth and complexity to meat dishes such as roasted chicken, grilled steak, or slow-cooked ribs. Common spices used with meat include garlic, paprika, cumin, and rosemary.

2. Soups and stews: Spices are essential for adding flavor to soups and stews. Spices like cumin, coriander, turmeric, and chili powder can transform a simple soup or stew into a flavorful and comforting meal.

3. Rice and grain dishes: Spices can elevate the taste of rice and grain dishes such as pilafs, biryanis, and risottos. Spices like saffron, cardamom, cinnamon, and nutmeg can add warmth and complexity to these dishes.

4. Vegetables: Spices can add flavor and interest to vegetable dishes, making them more appealing and delicious. Spices like cumin, turmeric, smoked paprika, and chili flakes can turn simple roasted vegetables into a flavorful side dish.

5. Baked goods: Spices are essential for adding warmth and flavor to baked goods such as cakes, cookies, and bread. Spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves can add a delicious aroma and taste to sweet treats.

Bruce Can Definitely Cook

Okay, this is a part 2 to this post about how Bruce can cook, just not typical American/British food. So, here are some more of my thoughts on it:

Bruce has an extremely high spice tolerance thanks to eating anything out of South India. He definitely learned to cook some Biryani while there.

He is the only one of the original JL members that can eat Ollie's Stupendous Chili without suffering from the spice (as seen here):

(Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Bruce pitches in to the recipe to make it even more spicy).

Alfred has the least tolerance, mostly because of British taste buds the foods he grew up around didn't even come close to what Bruce had in other places.

He definitely trades food and cooks with the neighborhood aunties and uncles all over Gotham (it's where he gets to learn more recipes and improve his skills) (Also, most of the kids start to really like the food he makes) (the aunties absolutely love it).

He has strong opinions when it comes to rice, pasta, and bread, specially if it's Jaime Oliver that's doing it. In fact, he can't even watch him for a second and he'll start giving the TV the Bat-Glare.

The only cooking programs he can watch calmly are the Great British Bake-Off with Alfred (except for Mexican Week, then he almost tears the TV off its hinges) (also, Alfred gets very judgemental watching it), anything with Gordon Ramsay traveling the world, and Roadtrip with G. Garvin. Anything else and he gets way too invested in it:

Judge, on TV: Oh, very interesting flavors, but it's too spicy-

Bruce, yelling across the room: It's fucking sour cream, you uncultured swine!! You want spicy?! I'll give you some of Auntie Prisha's laal maas, see how you like them apples!!

His kids start getting in on it, too. They can't hear anyone in school/work/in the streets talking about how to properly cook pasta without going on a rant about specifics.

Bruce keeps a sourdough starter and a kimchi jar on the fridge and compartment respectively. The kids named it "Karlo". Clayface wasn't too thrilled when he found out. It's since been changed to "Composite".

All of the kids like whenever Bruce cooks, but surprisingly, Jason and Steph are the ones that do the most 1-on-1 stuff. Steph because she's a foodie (I think), and Jason because it's one of the things that they both can agree on (to an exent, because there's always light arguing in the kitchen), so it becomes a bonding thing between them. They'll spend hours alone just to prepare Tennessee Barbecue.
