This looks so delicious! Thanks for sharing!

Extra firm is probably best, you can press it further as well. I usually think of tofu as a paneer substitute than a meat substitute but if you press it or buy extra firm and rip it with your hands then fry it then it tastes really good, like how Richa does it in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWohdoamOZE

What we don’t really like and may be extreme is not mentioning actual brands but saying substitute or TVP is fine. The only reason we’re against brand names and trademarks is that we don’t want to become r/vegan like where the entire message board becomes brand recommendations and viral marketing instead of actual show and tell. I know we’re super small and its really far away from happening but that is the anarchist bent.

We’re humans and a lot of people suggest actual chicken

Looks amazing AP! Am guest need slop

Looks great! Who cares how simple it is, its delicious rice!!!

Thanks for understanding, for what its worth if I were to make this I’d soak red lentils for a few hours until they were totally soft and blend them into a thick paste, then mix them with boiled potatoes, chopped cilantro, ginger paste, red chili mirch, cumin, coriander, turmeric salt, pepper, maybe some birdseye chilis then roll these into a ball and bake or fry. I do everything by eye and things like this are pretty forgiving

I’ve gained a lot in my life learning Urdu and Hindi and encourage more people to learn. They are essentially the same language with different scripts, but unlike Arabic or Chinese they are Indo European languages and are much easier to learn. I grew up speaking farsi so maybe it was easier for me but if you work in IT knowing Hindi is indispensable.

Whenever I post photos from my iphone lemmy lags out and double posts it, sorry if you see two posts!

Woah nice! They look awesome. The paw cookies are really cute. Thanks for sharing with us!

This looks so good! Thanks for sharing!

No I need you to do googling for me I demand it!

I just quickly chopped up some veggies and simmered it in a little water, a curry powder I really love from a local place, and a can of chickpeas. Once everything softened up I just added some corn starch to thicken the juices together and served over basmati rice I made in a cooker. I’m having a killer day at work today so this is something I know is delicious and I can make really quickly without messing around with a ton of things. I use a veggie chopper to make it even faster.

The democrats have won most of the elections in the past 30 years and they are still going more and more right. I don’t think you’re correct in this analysis. Hilary Clinton and Al Gore won the elections and didn’t become president, even discounting that the democrats have been in power for the majority of this century and they have only become more and more right wing.

US Elections are decided when they do redistricting and manipulate the voting districts to ensure the results they want and isn’t a real democracy. The US is run by oligarchs who run their enterprise corporations and the power is concentrated there, not in the government.

I live in a desert climate and collected so many olives this year from my several olive trees! They are still soaking in brine though.

Thanks for sharing!

I love that every culture in the world has a hand pie that looks the same, Persians call them Sambusas, where do Pirukad come from? I can see how the word is probably related to Burek.

This looks incredible! Thanks for sharing. This really appeals to the middle eastern blood in my veins haha

If I am making Persian or Indian food then I use basmati, if I am making Mexican or Chinese style food I use Jasmine. I grew up eating only Persian food so I tend to fall back on that most of the time
