In Indian cuisine, a cutlet is typically a mixture of mashed vegetables (potatoes, carrots, beans) or cooked meat (mutton). , refers to a stuffing of chicken or fish) that is fried with a batter/covering. The meat is cooked with spices – onions, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, coriander (cilantro), green chillies, lemon and salt.

Sevika's tastes
Sevika is an old lady and she just wants to be left alone. She likes to look good but when it comes to clothes, Miss thing just doesn’t care that much. She always has practicality in mind. So, no dresses, nothing flowy, has to have natural fabrics so that her skin can breathe, and she requires that things are comfortable. Her shoes are always made for hardware with a strong sole and often reinforced. In the modern world, I see her working in metal working (specifically welding), so she has to have clothes that are multipurpose. Though, if she was forced to wear anything really nice, it would be a simple well-cut blazer and a button down with jeans or slacks that conform to her legs nicely. She prefers earthy colors, nothing too flashy. I think she’d really appreciate a nice dark green, or perhaps brown. I also feel that she would enjoy a nice flannel regularly.
With food, I’m afraid her palette is as unrefined as her clothing choices. She genuinely does not care what she eats, though she really likes chicken- loves hot wings, spicy food is her love. But, her comfort food will always be the food native to what part of India her family is from. I don’t think she’s the best cook, but she has a few family recipes that she knows so well (aloo gobi, chai, samosa, tikka masala, saag paneer). And, I think that on nights where she’s feeling really sad or lonely she always craves those foods. She’d love to cook with or for her partner, it’d be the best way to get to know her honestly. Because it allows for her to show vulnerability through actions and without words. She loves to take care of people and I think in modern times she’d mother her friends just a bit, always making sure they’re eating well, drinking their water, and sleeping right (if not she’ll give them some chai). She doesn’t eat beef or dark meats in general, and she isn’t the biggest fan of seafood or turkey. So, she sticks with her chicken and her paneer. She’ll eat tofu but it needs to be in curry or something similar.
This woman would love 80s hair metal, music is something that I genuinely believe she’d love so much. She’d play drums as a teenager, dead set on becoming the drummer of the next Metallica. She’d also love the old school heavy metal bands, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Black Sabbath, Pantera. She’d love them all. I think she’d like some old school 90s rap too, but none of the new-age mumble rap that’s going on. She wouldn’t really like Taylor Swift’s music, just because it didn’t vibe with her, but she respected Taylor’s ability to get a bag. She has had a huge crush on Adele ever since she heard the album 25 when it came out. She liked some of her music, but thought Adele was drop dead gorgeous and all mature and soulful and shit, hit her in the feels and made her whipped for this woman she didn’t even know.
For movies she loves shitty 80s slasher horror, nothing that makes her think. She’d sit back in her old recliner in her pajamas and house slippers whilst watching Slumber Party Massacre for the third time, and then put on Golden Girls because she feels that Dorothy Zbornak is her spirit animal. She likes a good sitcom too and a ridiculous drama (she loves Desperate Housewives), she likes the camp, the over the top acting and dumb plots, it makes her laugh and feel care free in a way she hasn’t been in a long time. She just wants to curl up with her pets (she would have many) and watch teen-based tv shows that revolve around crime or secrets (Pretty Little Liars, Riverdale, Vampire Diaries, even Buffy etc.). She likes how bad they are, but she gets so invested it’s ridiculous.
For personal scents she’d like more woody, alluring scents that are also kind of sweet. Think Amber by Rag n’ Bone (it smells so good), she doesn’t spray much, just a spritz, it wafts around her just slightly, just enough for women to fall at her feet. Her individual smell wouldn't be overpowering but it would definitely be clear. It’s grounding and soothing. Her sweat stinks though, every time she comes back from the gym, she goes straight to the showers because her own dogs don’t want to come near her b.o.
In general, Sevika is an old woman who couldn’t give less of a shit. She wants to be left alone with her life and her people and chill. Which is why, I feel like she isn’t that opinionated on much unless it’s boundaries or causes she cares about. She just doesn’t have the energy to be bothered with trivial things like which movie to choose for the night, or which restaurant to go to. She is tired and all she wants to do is eat good food with her partner and her pets in a little cottage in the middle of nowhere. She doesn’t like neighbors and she doesn’t like people in her business. She doesn’t need a perfect life, just one that’s hers.
for whatever reason the letters are being weird, it is killing me. Please ignore it.

okay really i have to know, someone please help me out here.
so the first time I ever tried Indian food was a little over a year ago. My sibling has a close friend who is Indian, so they have more experience in this than I do. One day, they were craving some tasties, and ordered some paneer tikka masala from a little vegetarian-based Indian place ten minutes away. It smelled divine. Having never tried Indian, but curious, I asked if i could try some. They let me have a taste of it, smear-scooped onto some fresh garlic naan.
Y'all. It was so good. It was warm and spicy and complex and lovely. I thanked them for the taste and went back to my own dinner.
They had a ton of leftovers, and a general habit of not eating leftovers. The little half-full tub of enticing spicy heaven sat in the fridge taunting me every time I opened the door. Echoes of the flavor teased at my tongue. So after the paneer tikka masala sat in the fridge for two nights, on the third night, I asked them if i could have the rest and they said go for it.
Now here's the thing. I have, for the past 5 years or so, had some manner of food sensitivity that I have not been able to pinpoint that torments me at least once a week. It is not IBS, and not consistent enough to signal true danger to my health, but is mostly an annoyance. A half-hour to an hour after eating, some nights are spent with tummy cramps and other unpleasantness. Still don't know what's causing it.
But this tikka masala. Whatever is in it, it has the exact opposite effect of whatever component of my typical diet has been tormenting me off and on. Even more so than the flavor, the thing that makes me practically cry every time i have some is just how good my tummy feels. It's warm and satisfied and comfortable, like the intestinal equivalent of being snuggled up on the couch with a cozy blanket and a book on a rainy day.
I've tried looking up common ingredients and recipes for this dish, trying to identify what component it is that's making me feel so good after dinner I could cry. Most of the ingredients I see are fairly familiar and already part of my diet - onion, turmeric, cumin, ginger, tomato, etc. I suppose it could be the yogurt? Or the paneer itself? The restaurant in question described it as cottage cheese or house cheese. I'm not generally a fan of yogurt, but I do eat cottage cheese. I also suspect it could be some spice in the garam masala, which I understand varies depending on the chef. But being of average white bread American stock, I'm not familiar enough with what constitutes good garam masala to know what would go into this spice blend and in what ratios, or if there is some particular variety of yogurt or cheese required for this dish. There's a lot of Indian food and grocery stores in my area, but it's still hard to source a specific ingredient when I can't identify it accurately.
I just want to figure out what this magical digestive-support ingredient is so I can try to incorporate it into my diet more. I just want every meal to sit as well in my body as this one does. If anyone knows anything about Indian food and cooking, and the health benefits of traditional Indian food, I'd appreciate your thoughts!

I keep forgetting you are also vegetarian!! What sorts of things do you make (if you dont mind talking about it)
I need ideas since I can't really eat most of what my family makes lol
i like to cook from scratch so i don't know how helpful I'll be but I'll lay out some of my favorites
i eat a lot of pasta tbh. fettuccine alfredo, meatless spaghetti (or if i can find the tofu meatballs, that), pasta primavera. I'm trying some mac and cheese with gochujang in it, I'll let you all know how that is.
easy as hell feta tomato pappardelle
not to be cliche and say salad but the nashville hot pickle and spinach dijon make me (a salad hater) like salad. they sell these at walmart or raley's.
i make a vegetarian noodle soup with vegetable broth sometimes. depending on where you are, there's an amy's brand one that's canned. zuppa toscana is a fun one to make if you have veggie italian sausage (i wouldn't put white wine in it. i rarely put wine in anything.)
also korean and indian food is usually vegetarian by default. japchae is really good. it's very vegetable-heavy. i make a cold soondubu (it's usually hot but this is a very good cold for hot days version). this is kong-guksu, which is a peanut sauce ramen dish (better than it sounds).
my favorite indian dishes are palak paneer, tikka masala (i make it with cauliflower or tofu depending), chana masala, basmati rice, and naan.
falafel is vegetarian, and you can make yellow jasmine rice vegetarian easily by making it with vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. and of course, there's hummus and baba ganoush
if you like mushrooms, they're a good substitute for steak on philly cheesteak and this recipe for vegan po' boys is phenomenal.
i make black bean burgers from time to time (i usually buy them bc I'm lazy but they're fun to make). also, black bean and corn tamales are very good. quesadillas are easy too. or cheese enchiladas. they sell vegetarian refried beans too. if not, pre-boiled (or canned) whole pinto beans + vegetable shortening.
we have decent vegetarian sections at the stores i go to. i find safeway and sprouts (I'm not sure if this is a national chain or not) have the best options. i wish i lived in la or sf where all the vegans are.
when in doubt, you just buy nacho fix ins. not healthy but fun and everything that needs to be hot goes in the microwave.
if you need any more recipes or ideas, let me know.

good things,
We have gotten a good amount of rain from Friday to today :) which is great, since we've been in a drought for so long. Gray, rainy weather used to really bother me, but it doesn't anymore, since I got my antidepressant dose figured out. Derek, Westin, and I had a cozy Friday evening on the sofa while I read Klara and the Sun and Derek listened to his audiobook (and Westin sat on us both.)
I had a great stairclimber workout on Saturday. I added 25-30 minutes on the stairclimber twice a week to my workout routine earlier this summer, and the benefits have been huge. My lower body has gotten so much stronger, and the cross-training benefits have been real. I don't struggle with walking up hills in the neighborhood and stairs like I used to. I also started doing my least favorite exercise (glute bridges) to help further with my chronically weak glutes, and that + stairclimber strengthening has really helped my running. :)
I wrote a ton this weekend, about 12 pages. I'm about 90% done with the first draft of my novel now - so close I can taste it.
@broomchickabroom came over on Saturday night for dinner and to watch Tangled, and we baked TWO different kinds of delicious cookies for dessert!
I planted two more Atlantis stonecrop sedum on Sunday, as well as a sweet woodruff plant.
Over the last few days, I've cooked a few really good recipes - paneer tikka masala, pasta with crab, corn, and lemon, and Vietnamese coconut caramel chicken.
weird things,
I had the unpleasant and unfortunate realization at work recently that I've forgotten a lot of what I studied in grad school. Which is not good, because I actually need those skills and understanding for my job. I completed my master's degree between 2013 - 2015, and 2013 was a whole 10 years ago now. I was also dealing with severe depression during that time, and those 2 years are very fuzzy for me.
So I'm entering learning mode again. My undergraduate degree was in disability studies and my master's degree was in gerontology, which actually isn't the best fit for my current position - a degree in social work or public health would have been a better fit for the job I have now. I've found several social work textbooks and I've been reading. Just tonight, I found some material that's really going to help me in a project for work.
Over the last year or so, I have thought about going back to grad school and getting an MPH or MSW. I don't think it would be workable with my current full-time job, and also keeping the evenings and weekends free for the time I need for myself, Derek, Westin, and my friends (to say nothing of the money that it would cost). I can still learn and expand my knowledge even without going back to school, and I find the readings super interesting.

ABOUT INDIAN FOOD in USA
You will get know more about the best restaurants Around the world
INDIAN FOOD consists of a variety of regional and traditional cuisines native to India. Given the diversity in soil, climate, culture, ethnic groups, and occupations, these cuisines vary substantially and use locally available spices, herbs, vegetables, and fruits.
Indian food is also heavily influenced by religion, in particular Hinduism and Islam, cultural choices.
Historical events such as invasions, trade relations, and colonialism have played a role in introducing certain foods to this country. The Columbian discovery of the New World brought a number of new vegetables and fruit to India. A number of these such as potatoes, tomatoes, chillies, peanuts, and guava have become staples in many regions of India.
INDIAN FOOD has shaped the history of international relations; the spice trade between India and Europe was the primary catalyst for Europe's Age of Discovery.
Spices were bought from India and traded around Europe and Asia. INDIAN FOOD has influenced other cuisines across the world, especially those from Europe (especially Britain), the Middle East, Southern African, East Africa, Southeast Asia, North America, Mauritius, Fiji, Oceania, and the Caribbean.
HISTORY OF INDIAN FOOD NON-VEGETARIAN
INDIAN FOOD reflects an 8,000-year history of various groups and cultures interacting with the Indian subcontinent, leading to a diversity of flavors and regional cuisines found in modern-day India. Later, trade with British and Portuguese influence added to the already diverse INDIAN FOOD.
After 9000 BCE, the first period of indirect contact between the Fertile Crescent and Indus Valley civilizations seems to have occurred due to the Neolithic Revolution and the diffusion of agriculture. Around 7000 BCE, agriculture spread from the Fertile Crescent to the Indus Valley, and wheat and barley began to be grown. Sesame and humped cattle were domesticated in the local farming communities.
Mehrgarh is one of South Asia's earliest sites with evidence of farming and herding. From circa 4500 to 1900 BC the rulers of Lower Mesopotamia were Sumerians who spoke a non-Indo-European and non-Semitic language, may have initially come from India and may have been related to the original Dravidian population of India.
By 3000 BCE, turmeric, cardamom, black pepper and mustard were harvested in India.
From Around 2350 BCE the evidence for imports from the Indus to Ur in Mesopotamia have been found, as well as Clove heads which are thought to originate from the Moluccas in Maritime Southeast Asia were found in a 2nd millennium BC site in Terqa. Akkadian Empire records mention timber, carnelian and ivory as being imported from Meluhha by Meluhhan ships, Meluhha being generally considered as the Mesopotamian name for the Indus Valley Civilization.
VEDIC AGE
VEGETARIAN
The ancient Hindu text Mahabharata mentions rice and vegetable cooked together, and the word "pulao" or "pallao" is used to refer to the dish in ancient Sanskrit works, such as Yājñavalkya Smṛti. Ayurveda, ancient Indian system of wellness, deals with holistic approach to the wellness, and it includes food, dhyana (meditation) and yoga.
ANTIQUITY
Early diet in India mainly consisted of legumes, vegetables, fruits, grains, dairy products, and honey.
Staple foods eaten today include a variety of lentils (dal), whole-wheat flour (aṭṭa), rice, and pearl millet (bājra), which has been cultivated in the Indian subcontinent since 6200 BCE.
Over time, segments of the population embraced vegetarianism during the Śramaṇa movement while an equitable climate permitted a variety of fruits, vegetables, and grains to be grown throughout the year.
A food classification system that categorised any item as saatvic, raajsic, or taamsic developed in Yoga tradition. The Bhagavad Gita proscribes certain dietary practices.
Consumption of beef is taboo, due to cows being considered sacred in Hinduism.[14] Beef is generally not eaten by Hindus in India except for Kerala, parts of southern Tamil Nadu and the north-east.
PICKLES
FOOD MENTIONED IN ANECIENT INDIAN SCRIPTURE
While many ancient Indian recipes have been lost in history, one can look at ancient texts to see what was eaten in ancient and pre-historic India.
Barley—(known as Yava in both Vedic and Classical Sanskrit) is mentioned many times in Rigveda and other Indian scriptures as one of the principal grains in ancient India
Betel leaf—primary use is as a wrapper for the chewing of areca nut or tobacco, where it is mainly used to add flavour; may also be used in cooking, usually raw, for its peppery taste
Breadfruit—fritters called jeev kadge phodi in Konkani or kadachakka varuthath in Malayalam are a local delicacy in coastal Karnataka and Kerala
Chickpeas—popular dishes are made with chickpea flour, such as mirchi bajji and mirapakaya bajji
Curd—a traditional yogurt or fermented milk product, originating from the Indian subcontinent, usually prepared from cow's milk, and sometimes buffalo milk, or goat milk
Figs —cultivated from Afghanistan to Portugal, also grown in Pithoragarh in the Kumaon hills of India; from the 15th century onwards, also grown in areas including Northern Europe and the New World
Ghee—a class of clarified butter that originated in ancient India, commonly used in the Indian subcontinent, Middle-Eastern cuisine, traditional medicine, and religious rituals
Grape wine —first-known mention of grape-based wines in India is from the late 4th-century BC writings of Chanakya
Honey —the spiritual and supposed therapeutic use of honey in ancient India was documented in both the Vedas and the Ayurveda texts
Mango—the Jain goddess Ambika is traditionally represented as sitting under a mango tree
Mustard —brown mustard is a spice that was cultivated in the Indus Valley civilization and is one of the important spices used in the Indian subcontinent today
Pomegranate—in some Hindu traditions, the pomegranate (Hindi: anār) symbolizes prosperity and fertility, and is associated with both Bhoomidevi (the earth goddess) and Lord Ganesha (the one fond of the many-seeded fruit)
Rice—cultivated in the Indian subcontinent from as early as 5,000 BC
Rice cake—quite a variety are available
Rose apple—mainly eaten as a fruit and also used to make pickles (chambakka achar)
Saffron —almost all saffron grows in a belt from Spain in the west to Kashmir in the east
Salt —considered to be a very auspicious substance in Hinduism and is used in particular religious ceremonies like house-warmings and weddings; in Jainism, devotees lay an offering of raw rice with a pinch of salt before a deity to signify their devotion, and salt is sprinkled on a person's cremated remains before the ashes are buried
Sesame oil —popular in Asia, especially in Korea, China, and the South Indian states of Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu, where its widespread use is similar to that of olive oil in the Mediterranean
Sorghum—commonly called jwaarie, jowar, jola, or jondhalaa, sorghum is one of the staple sources of nutrition
Sugar—produced in the Indian subcontinent since ancient times, its cultivation spread from there into modern-day Afghanistan through the Khyber Pass
Sugarcane—the earliest known production of crystalline sugar began in northern India; the earliest evidence of sugar production comes from ancient Sanskrit and Pali texts
Turmeric —used widely as a spice in South Asian and Middle Eastern cooking
Middle Ages to the 16th Century
VEG DUM BIRYANI
During the Middle Ages, several Indian dynasties were predominant, including the Gupta dynasty. Travel to India during this time introduced new cooking methods and products to the region, including tea.
India was later invaded by tribes from Central Asian cultures, which led to the emergence of Mughlai cuisine, a mix of Indian and Central Asian cuisine. Hallmarks include seasonings such as saffron.
Colonial Period
The Portuguese and British during their rule introduced cooking techniques such as baking, and foods from the New World and Europe.
The new-world vegetables popular in cuisine from the Indian subcontinent include tomato, potato, sweet potatoes, peanuts, squash, and chilli. Most New World vegetables such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, Amaranth, peanuts and cassava based Sago are allowed on Hindu fasting days. Cauliflower was introduced by the British in 1822. In the late 18th/early 19th century, an autobiography of a Scottish Robert Lindsay mentions a Sylheti man called Saeed Ullah cooking a curry for Lindsay's family. This is possibly the oldest record of INDIAN FOOD in the United Kingdom.
INGREDIENTS
Staple foods of INDIAN FOOD include pearl millet (bājra), rice, whole-wheat flour (aṭṭa), and a variety of lentils, such as masoor (most often red lentils), tuer (pigeon peas), urad (black gram), and moong (mung beans). Lentils may be used whole, dehusked—for example, dhuli moong or dhuli urad—or split. Split lentils, or dal, are used extensively, Some pulses, such as channa or cholae (chickpeas), rajma (kidney beans), and lobiya (black-eyed peas) are very common, especially in the northern regions. Channa and moong are also processed into flour (besan).
Many Indian dishes are cooked in vegetable oil, but peanut oil is popular in northern and western India, mustard oil in eastern India, and coconut oil along the western coast, especially in Kerala and parts of southern Tamil Nadu, Gingelly (sesame) oil is common in the south since it imparts a fragrant, nutty aroma.
In recent decades, sunflower, safflower, cottonseed, and soybean oils have become popular across India, Hydrogenated vegetable oil, known as Vanaspati ghee, is another popular cooking medium, Butter-based ghee, or deshi ghee, is used commonly.
Many types of meat are used for Indian cooking, but chicken and mutton tend to be the most commonly consumed meats. Fish and beef consumption are prevalent in some parts of India, but they are not widely consumed except for coastal areas, as well as the north east.
The most important and frequently used spices and flavourings in INDIAN FOOD are whole or powdered chilli pepper (mirch, introduced by the Portuguese from Mexico in the 16th century), black mustard seed (sarso), cardamom (elaichi), cumin (jeera), turmeric (haldi), asafoetida (hing), ginger (adrak), coriander (dhania), and garlic (lasoon).
One popular spice mix is garam masala, a powder that typically includes seven dried spices in a particular ratio, including black cardamom, cinnamon (dalchini), clove (laung), cumin (jeera), black peppercorns, coriander seeds and anise star.
Each culinary region has a distinctive garam masala blend—individual chefs may also have their own. Goda masala is a comparable, though sweet, spice mix popular in Maharashtra. Some leaves commonly used for flavouring include bay leaves (tejpat), coriander leaves, fenugreek (methi) leaves, and mint leaves. The use of curry leaves and roots for flavouring is typical of Gujarati and South INDIAN FOOD.

made the paneer tikka masala but forgot to thaw the frozen paneer in advance so I used chickpeas instead. this was good and will make okay lunches for the week but it’s not one I’d rush to make again—I found the combo of veggies (cauliflower, bell pepper, zucchini) a little weird for some reason. the main modification I made was I didn’t think the cauliflower would get tender enough simmering for such a short time so I sautéed all the veggies for 5-6 min in a separate pan before adding them to the masala. in retrospect I would’ve just sautéed the bell pepper and the cauliflower as the zucchini got a little mushy. but whatever it was fine. today is day 79 of 2023 and I’m now up to 29 new recipes cooked this year. not bad!

Hi! Don’t let your tired brain fool you, that new chapter was a good read! Not everything you put into the world is going to make you wriggle with excitement but that doesn’t make it any less wonderful.
As for get to know you questions, my favorite to talk to people about is always food, so what’s your comfort food and/or drink?
thank you! i really appreciate you saying that 💕
my comfort food at the moment is a garlic pasta recipe my husband adapted from one on serious eats. i also LOVE tofu pad thai and paneer tikka masala with garlic naan.
as for drinks, i love english breakfast tea with milk and sugar, or a hot chocolate with salted caramel bailey’s. if i’m in the uk i always have lemonade and lime cordial, and my favorite cocktail at the moment is a chambord bramble made with lavender syrup.
