[@jadecummings8093]

Hi there!

[@frozenfrogz]

Dal Makhani is my all time favourite comfort food! I usually cook a huge pot and portion it in preserving jars, keeping them in the fridge to have my Dal ready when coming home late from work. Also, my friends like to be gifted a couple of jars every now and then I make a fresh batch. Also, I love spicy Indian dishes - despite being a very potato-y German potato. I had my best Dal Makhani at the Denissons hotel in Hubli by the way. Thanks for bringing this beautiful dish into everyone else’s view. Lots of love from Germany. :)

I am flattered 🙏🏽 Truly though, nothing is too spicy for him. He once visited a Mexican restaurant that serves food on a spicy scale of 1-10, and for customers who order a 10 and finish their meal, they get their photo on the “wall of flame.” He and his sister who was visiting from India both ordered a 10. She couldn’t finish hers because it was too spicy so he ate his meal AND her meal and asked if he could have two photos of himself up on the wall 😂

Vegan is the only style of cooking where the people adamantly try to hide/deny it. Vegan cooking can be so amazing. If cooks were to stop trying to ‘replicate meat’, and focus on the flavour of what they are cooking, vegan cooking would be so much more popular

[@mereen750]

​@@jfdd43veganism does not help animals at all lol

[@jfdd43]

@@mereen750 never said it did. If we stopped eating cow, we’d stop making room for them in our farms. They would end up like ever other animal we don’t eat.

[@goeticfolklore]

@mereen750 it’s good for the planet. besides, many Indians are vegetarian/vegan because they believe in the principle that all living things should be respected.

[@jfdd43]

@@goeticfolklore sure, absolutely. But saying ‘this taste like meat’, only hurts the cause. Give someone a falafel, and say ‘taste just like chicken’, you’re setting them up to be disappointed. Say ‘here is some awesome food, you’ve never tired before’, your odds for success go way up.

[@ridhiimas]

don't go for restaurant taste, homemade Indian food is very moderate on spices and oils, it should make you feel homely and give comfort, restaurents use very intense level of spices and ghee to drive flavour, it's fine to indulge in it once in a blue moon but homemade slightly mild and fresh food is 🤤
