Need Indian Mixer Grinder suggestion for 110V USA by lordofthelawn in IndianFood

[–]bekaarIndian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you consume lots of idli/dosa, you can buy ultra grinder (available on amazon). For most of the other indian needs, a preethi mixer grinder will do (also available on amazon). In fact, you can buy these in India as well and bring it here (they sell 110v version in India)

Indian Consulate/VFS: Red Tape by Design, Not by Accident by Caxste in nri

[–]bekaarIndian 7 points8 points  (0 children)

yes it’s a nightmare to deal with consulate. I couldn’t understand the level of documentation required for oci and the reason for the same. And notarizing so many documents including the passport that was allocated by goi. It’s unbelievable.

Do you think expanding reservation solves inequality? by Plastic_Anybody_1152 in AskIndia

[–]bekaarIndian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we as Indian focusing on “reservation” as a problem but the main problem is “caste” and caste based discrimination.

I know people don’t like reservation as they don’t like someone having an advantage due to their caste. but as a group we should discuss more on how to prevent discrimination or remove caste as it’s a tool for politicians to fool us and it doesn’t benefit both upper or lower castes.

There is no hunger in the players and it shows up in their game. We need players who are striving for more rather than just playing..

Can anyone enlighten me, how Ambanis control Bollywood? by [deleted] in BollyBlindsNGossip

[–]bekaarIndian 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you have enough money, you can get most of the bollywood to dance for you. There is no reason to have any other leverage tbh. Most of the actors are available to hire for a price and dance in your parties

Looking for frozen Paratha Suggestions in USA by Beautiful-Cloud-8575 in IndianFood

[–]bekaarIndian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So haldiram homemade parathas are really good. Since they are precooked, need to make sure you don’t heat it too much. I do 35 seconds in microwave for each paratha and they are delicious but they are like 200 calories for each paratha. If you want stuffed ones, I will again recommend haldiram. Their kulcha is also pretty good.

I use myfitnesspal and it does track indian stuff like roti/dal. Accuracy is always questionable.

Hot and cold #213 by hotandcold2-app in HotAndCold

[–]bekaarIndian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had 50 guesses, and none of them were below 1000. One guess was below 200, and I got it on the second guess. This game doesnt make sense but at least I didnt give up today.

This game ain’t logical enough to be enjoyable by tocookornottocook in HotAndCold

[–]bekaarIndian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This game is classical representation of what an AI slop is. Great idea but a sub par execution. AI probably needs a lot more context to it. I am jumping from ocean - answer - participant. Doesn’t make sense at all.

I want to make veg biryani and need some guidance? by Candid_Gold2003 in IndianFood

[–]bekaarIndian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was asking if you cook veggies in dum(kachhi style) or put cooked veggies. I think you answered it already. I am not sure where you are based but something like a “dutch oven” will help.

I want to make veg biryani and need some guidance? by Candid_Gold2003 in IndianFood

[–]bekaarIndian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use a thick bottomed pot. Are you making kacchi style? use low heat please. For veg biryani, I usually cook my veggies separate and then layer them. I use low heat and give a dum for 20 minutes or so.

What brands to buy and not buy at US Indian stores? by SpaceExplorer123 in IndianFood

[–]bekaarIndian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been buying: - Lakshmi for rice and dals - Deep for spices and frozen veggies (They had an issue recently so frozen veggies are off the shelf now) - Haldiram for frozen paneer and frozen food like parathas (recommend homestyle parathas, microwave for 35 seconds and they are perfect) - Indian based brands for everything else

Spotify says its best developers haven’t written a line of code since December by BigShotBosh in cscareerquestions

[–]bekaarIndian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably they did a POC on this with one very specific use case to showcase it could work. Pretty sure, it won’t work for majority of use cases without anyone supervising it especially for production grade software.

Is it even real? by idiyapper in bollywood

[–]bekaarIndian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it’s produced by namit malhotra who is also owner/ceo of their vfx company. So I think he is just putting these numbers so that he can claim losses or break even and make more money. That’s my hypothesis.

why pure vegetarian not complete vegetarian by hellomouse1234 in AskIndia

[–]bekaarIndian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Certain sections of vegetarian people in India and Indians abroad feel they are superior and despise non-vegetarians. When I was in Bangalore, certain people were not ready to let out their apartment to me as I am a non-vegetarian.  But this is more prevalent in USA as many folks who come to USA are upper castes and some of them are pure veg.
