We've been cycling through food pantries trying to find one in the area that isn't just entrapment for a religious cult, and I think we finally found it, and there wasn't a whole lot they could give me that I could eat (altho wifey has a few more options) but I did get grape juice, split peas, green beans, and cashews, so I'm pretty delighted. And fortunately I get paid at the end of this week (lmao "paid" I took so much time off for my uncle's funeral and being sick after that I'm getting less than half of my actual paycheck, but it's FINE it'll buy groceries for us and the critters, and it'll fill our prescriptions for the month which we both desperately need, and the rest can wait until December proper) so being able to keep refreshing the soup for another 4-5 days with the split peas and green beans, and maybe even making a fun lil chimichurri chutney out of the herbs they gave us so I can mix it with pickled beet root and turnip greens ought to do the trick for us. I need to make sure we get new gluten free flour and squashes at the market when I get paid, that way we can stretch our way thru the next rough patch, but for now I'm sipping grape juice and designing a new chicken run

A tasty vegan take on traditional samosas, these are filled with a tasty mix of potatoes and peas and wrapped in crunchy spring roll wrappers. You can serve these samosas with a cool, sweet and spicy mint chutney. They are great for spring parties or as a tasty snack.
Ingredients: For Samosas:. 1 cup green peas. 1 cup finely chopped potatoes. 1/2 cup finely chopped onions. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 tsp grated ginger. 1 tsp cumin seeds. 1 tsp garam masala. 1/2 tsp turmeric powder. Salt to taste. 12 spring roll wrappers vegan-friendly. Oil for frying. For Mint Chutney:. 1 cup fresh mint leaves. 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves. 1 green chili, chopped. 2 tbsp lemon juice. 2 tbsp maple syrup or any sweetener of choice. Salt to taste.
Instructions: Put oil in a pan and heat it over medium-low heat. Put in the cumin seeds and let them pop. Grate some ginger and mince some garlic. Saut until the food smells good. When you add the chopped onions, cook until they become clear. Put in green peas, turmeric powder, salt, and chopped potatoes. Keep cooking until the potatoes are soft. Give the mixture some time to cool down. To seal the samosas, mix flour and water together to make a slurry. Place some of the potato filling in the middle of a spring roll wrapper. Make a triangle out of the wrapper and seal the edges with the flour mixture. In a large pan, heat the oil over medium-low heat. Fry the samosas until they are crispy and golden brown. Use paper towels to soak up the extra oil. Put mint leaves, cilantro leaves, green chili, lemon juice, maple syrup, and salt in a blender and blend until smooth. Serve the hot samosas with the mint chutney, which is both sweet and spicy.

Indian Breakfast Recipes: 5 Traditional Dishes to Start Your Day Right
Indian breakfasts are a flavorful and energetic way to kickstart the day. Known for their variety and nutrition, Indian breakfast dishes offer a mix of spices, herbs, and grains that keep you full and satisfied. From savory to sweet, here are five traditional Indian breakfast recipes that will make your mornings more exciting.
1. Masala Dosa with Coconut Chutney
Masala Dosa is a quintessential South Indian dish that’s loved across the country. This crispy, thin pancake made from fermented rice and urad dal (black gram) batter is filled with a spicy mashed potato filling. Served with tangy coconut chutney and a hot sambar (a vegetable and lentil stew), masala dosa is both filling and nourishing. The combination of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats makes it a perfect breakfast to keep you energized throughout the morning.
How to make it: The dosa batter is prepared by soaking rice and urad dal overnight and then grinding them into a smooth paste. After fermenting the batter overnight, spread it thinly on a hot griddle and cook until golden brown. The filling is made by sautéing potatoes with onions, mustard seeds, and spices like turmeric and cumin. Serve the dosa with coconut chutney and sambar for a wholesome meal.
2. Poha (Flattened Rice)
Poha is a popular and quick breakfast dish in many parts of India, especially in Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh. It’s made from flattened rice that’s sautéed with mustard seeds, turmeric, curry leaves, and a mix of vegetables. It’s light yet filling, making it perfect for a busy morning. Garnish it with a squeeze of lemon, fresh coriander, and roasted peanuts for added flavor and crunch.
How to make it: Rinse the flattened rice to remove any excess starch. In a pan, heat oil, add mustard seeds, turmeric, and curry leaves. Add chopped onions, peas, and potatoes, and cook until soft. Mix the poha into the pan and cook for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh coriander, lemon juice, and roasted peanuts for extra flavor.
3. Aloo Paratha
Aloo Paratha is a North Indian breakfast classic that consists of whole wheat flatbread stuffed with a spiced mashed potato filling. It is usually served with yogurt, pickles, and a dollop of butter or ghee. The combination of carbs and protein provides a hearty breakfast that’s perfect for those who need something more substantial.
How to make it: To make the dough, combine whole wheat flour with water, salt, and a little oil. For the filling, mash boiled potatoes and mix with spices such as cumin, garam masala, green chilies, and coriander. Roll out the dough, stuff it with the potato mixture, and cook on a hot griddle with ghee until golden brown.
4. Upma (Semolina Porridge)
Upma is a South Indian dish made from semolina (rava) sautéed with mustard seeds, curry leaves, and a mix of vegetables like carrots, peas, and onions. It’s light yet hearty, making it a great breakfast option that provides essential vitamins and minerals. The best part about upma is that it’s quick and easy to prepare.
How to make it: Roast the semolina until slightly golden, then set it aside. In a pan, heat oil, add mustard seeds, curry leaves, onions, and chopped vegetables. Once the veggies are tender, add water and bring to a boil. Slowly add the semolina while stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens, then garnish with roasted cashews and coriander.
5. Pesarattu (Green Gram Pancake)
Pesarattu is a savory pancake made from ground green gram (moong dal). This dish is popular in Andhra Pradesh and is a nutritious breakfast option because of its high protein content. It’s typically served with ginger chutney or coconut chutney for added flavor.
How to make it: Soak green gram overnight and blend it into a smooth batter with ginger, green chilies, cumin, and salt. Heat a griddle, pour the batter, and spread it in a circular shape. Cook until crispy and golden brown on both sides. Serve with chutney for a wholesome, high-protein breakfast.
Conclusion

Malai Chap pairs well with naan or rice, and its luxurious taste makes it a memorable addition to any meal.

Biryani is a beloved rice dish in Indian cuisine, and the Soy n Chickpeas Biryani is a delicious vegetarian version of this classic. Made with a combination of soy, chickpeas, and aromatic spices, this biryani offers a protein-packed alternative to the traditional meat-based version. The fragrant basmati rice is cooked with cumin, cinnamon, and cloves, infusing the dish with a deep, complex flavour. The soy and chickpeas provide a hearty texture, making it a filling and satisfying meal. Served with raita or a side salad, this biryani is a perfect main course for vegetarians.
7. Butter Paneer
No list of vegetarian Indian dishes would be complete without the famous Butter Paneer. This dish features chunks of soft, succulent paneer cooked in a rich, creamy tomato-based gravy. The buttery sauce is seasoned with a blend of spices, creating a sweet and savoury flavour that perfectly complements the delicate paneer.

Desi Snacks in India
Tumblr media
Samosa: The Snack Blockbuster No discussion of Indian snacks is complete without mentioning the legendary samosa. This deep-fried pastry is most often filled with spiced potatoes, peas, and sometimes meat. The crust contains a variety of spice-filled options. Originally from northern India, samosas are now stocked all across the country and served with tangy tamarind or mint chutney on the side.

Dhokla is very tasty and a healthy option because it is steamed and served with green chutney.
Pani Puri: One of the mouth-watering gush of flavors. Eating at street vendors, pani puris have another name, like golgappa or phuchka in different regions, and continually burst with flavor with each one taken. Crispy hollow spheres form the base with flavored water (pani), tamarind coon chutney, chili, chaat masala, potato, and onion along with chickpeas.
Pakoras: The Polymorphous Fritters Pakoras are a type of Indian snack that can be made from a variety of vegetables such as onion, potato, spinach, or cauliflower and then coated in a spiced gram flour batter and deep-fried to golden perfection and crispiness.

okay. ok! hello hello hello
yesterday was one of the most fun days i've had in a long time and Saturday was also a banger and Friday was great so i am Riding A High
this week is gonna have potentially a lot of novelty and/or routine disruption and/or tight schedules!
we've got:
- lots of new groups
- testing to do for our old groups
- interesting social dynamics in at least one group
- possibility of cut hours due to snow but Who Can Say if that'll happen (and as convenient as early release might be on Thursday. i need the fucking money, man. i will say that RIGHT NOW it seems unlikely but who knows for sure)
- INTERVIEW ON THURSDAY (need to find location in school for it tomorrow)
- class Friday morning as usual
- various Activities Friday afternoon, very much not as usual
- and a poem to finish Friday in the later afternoon
i'm also trying to decide if i need to get groceries this week. like. what if i don't?
i've got:
- leftover salmon and veg my friend got me
- leftover rice to eat with the same for lunch today (1 meal)
- leftover dal (1 meal or 2 as a side)
- leftover aloo gobi (2-3 meals)
- orange cake (2 breakfasts)
- pumpkin bread (snacks or breakfast, enough for 2-4 days)
- oat bars (snacks or breakfast, enough for 2-4 days)
- 2 onions (possibly bad; cut and freeze)
- like 2 remaining serrano peppers
- half a bag of spinach
- 1 large sweet potato
- frozen blueberries, edamame, green beans, peas and carrots
- and a LOT of beans and lentils, dried or otherwise
- one full yogurt as starter for the next batch and about half a gallon of milk; could make new yogurt today and drink the rest slowly? might last through Friday
- one jar full of pumpkin that probably needs to be used in ~3 days (don't want it to mold, after all)
and i need 15 meals. i've got, like, at least half that in my leftovers (plus roti and/or rice). i can make another thing of pumpkin bread if i need more breakfasts which would mean needing 5 larger meals. i could make dal again and use the sweet potato for it for 2-3, and do something with frozen veg, edamame, any non-dal spinach leftover and some fresh rice for another 1-2, and maybe granola/yogurt/blueberries and snacks for another. and i can always make a simple tamarind ginger rasam and tamarind date chutney if i get really bored/close to the end. my meals *might* end up nutritionally poorer than is ideal but they also would cost me $0. okay. fascinating. let's try not getting groceries this week and seeing how it goes
i kind of feel like i have nothing left to do, nothing weighing on me, even though there is stuff for me to do so that's not *quite* right. not bad though. feels good for sure.
i do have a strong sense that i should be Doing More but no strong sense as to what. that...is not my favorite thing, gotta say.
so. Monday.
- buy more masks actually, the sales are great and you do need them. sorry bro.
- coordinate with friends for travel dates (Thursday sleep over?)
- lunch (reheat leftovers)
- make yogurt this afternoon!!
- read as interview prep (pick readings, source PDFs, oh wait do that for second guy also, at least do some skimming)
- APPLY FOR MORE JOBS. SORRY. FOR REAL THO. it will be 1000% necessary in April which means you need to spam apps and try to get one *now* (can also. maybe apply to some full time jobs if you're willing to eat hot chip and lie/drop current job. which i don't necessarily want to do--the teaching experience is great!--but on the other hand i would really really really REALLY love a more stable life. so. y'know. have at it)
well, i applied for one, go me!
- send a career advice email?
- dinner (make roti, reheat leftovers)
- handwash clothes
- request off from work for travel dates
- poke Arabic HW? or Persian??
eventually:
- BUY REPLACEMENT LAPTOP BATTERY AS BIRTHDAY GIFT. PLEASE. (do once birthday money from grandma arrives.)

How to Prepare Non Fried Snacks for Iftar Without Compromising on Taste
Iftar is a special time for breaking the fast during Ramadan, and it is often associated with indulgent treats. However, traditional deep-fried snacks can be heavy and unhealthy. The good news is that you can enjoy a delicious and wholesome Iftar without relying on fried foods. By choosing non fried snacks, you can maintain the spirit of Ramadan while embracing a healthier lifestyle. In this guide, we will explore various methods and recipes to prepare non fried snacks that are both nutritious and flavorful.
Tumblr media
Why Choose Non Fried Snacks for Iftar?
Many people associate fried foods with Ramadan, but consuming too much fried food can lead to digestive discomfort, sluggishness, and unnecessary weight gain. Opting for non fried snacks allows you to enjoy Iftar while keeping your meals balanced and nourishing. Here are a few benefits:
Healthier Digestion: Avoiding excessive oil ensures that your digestive system remains light and active.
Sustained Energy: Nutrient-dense snacks provide long-lasting energy rather than quick sugar crashes.
Guilt Free Snacking: By choosing healthier alternatives, you can indulge without feeling guilty about excessive calories and fats.
Healthy Alternatives to Fried Snacks
Instead of deep-frying, try these healthier cooking methods:
1. Baking
Baked snacks are a fantastic alternative to fried ones. They offer a crispy texture with minimal oil, making them an excellent choice for Iftar.
Baked Samosas: Use whole wheat or phyllo dough and bake them instead of deep-frying. Fill them with a mixture of spiced potatoes, peas, and lentils.
Baked Falafel: Traditional falafels are deep-fried, but you can achieve the same crunch by baking them in the oven with a light spray of olive oil.
Baked Stuffed Bell Peppers: Fill bell peppers with a delicious mix of quinoa, chickpeas, and spices before baking them to perfection.
2. Air Frying
An air fryer is an excellent tool for making non fried snacks while retaining the crispiness. It uses hot air circulation, cutting down oil usage by nearly 80%.
Air Fried Pakoras: Chickpea-flour-coated vegetables turn golden and crispy in an air fryer.
Air Fried Spring Rolls: Use rice paper or whole wheat wrappers, stuff them with a veggie filling, and air fry them for a satisfying crunch.
3. Grilling & Roasting
Grilled and roasted snacks bring out the natural flavors of ingredients while reducing oil usage.
Grilled Paneer Tikka: Marinate paneer cubes in yogurt and spices, then grill for a smoky, flavorful treat.
Roasted Chickpeas: Season chickpeas with salt, pepper, and spices before roasting them in the oven for a crunchy, protein-rich snack.
4. Steaming
Steamed snacks are a great way to retain nutrients while offering a soft, melt-in-the-mouth texture.
Steamed Dhokla: This traditional Gujarati snack is light, fluffy, and packed with flavor.
Steamed Momos: Opt for whole wheat momos filled with spiced vegetables or chicken.
