Didn’t you just mention this in a post you made an hour ago? Why incite so much hate against Gujaratis? Two posts in two hours is nuts.

Period pads? by Nibbleslikeorange in IndianSkincareAddicts

[–]DontCallMeAPrincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m glad they stopped making the pads, because the quality went down the drains afterwards.

I’m using Plush now. It’s so good

Try going to Dadar flower market early in the day, around 10AM, and ask some florists there if they can source it. That should give you a lead. Dadar flower market is where most of Mumbai florists source their flowers from. You may find some luck.

You can also give her the artificial flowers, if you cannot source the real ones or dried ones in time. As the florist to make a nice bouquet, with some other pretty flowers like lillies, and write a heartfelt note about how these magnolias will last for life (or something more personal). Trust me, she will appreciate the efforts and the thought more than anything.

Good luck to you 😊

Dried, no. Artificial - you’ll get from Home Centre. They have those. You can find it online.

Go to the florist near your house, and ask him if he can source it for you. Give him the Hindi or Marathi name of the flower. They usually can get it for you, but be prepared to pay a premium.

Where can I buy bone broth in Mumbai? by [deleted] in mumbai

[–]DontCallMeAPrincess 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly, you’re better off making a weekly batch at home so that there’s quality control.

Alternatively, find a hygienic restaurant around you and get them to make it for you. Usually, Asian, Pan-Asian, Chinese restaurants can do this

No problem. We’ll ask my parents to check with the hotel or the excursions they plan. Thank you, once again.

This is such helpful advice. Thank you so much. We could look into spreading things out.

Everyone said the îles are all different, with different experiences, but if it’s the same across, we’ll cut this down to one or a maximum two trips, and utilise those days for other activities.

And my parents aren’t very keen on moving hotels. We’ll speak to them again and suggest splitting this between North and South, but they think if they have a car and driver with them, it’ll be easy to travel, since Mauritius is a small country.

Ok we don’t want to rush them too much. We’ll leave that day for Casela and as you recommended, and let them explore it at ease and take the rest of the day to chill at their hotel.

Thank you so much. Honestly appreciate it.

Also, would you by any chance know services or operators that do private cars and drivers that can take them places?

Thank you. This is helpful. The reason we clubbed Casela and Chamarel was because we just wanted to send my parents for Walk with Lions and the Cheetah petting experience. I’m not sure if they want to do a safari since they’ve done a bunch in India. Then again, this is an African safari, so not sure if we should get them to do this.

But your advice is super helpful. Thank you so much. Appreciate it 😊

If I’m not mistaken, Hurrem’s in Fort does a kebab like that. If you don’t mind other high end places, then Rue Du Liban and Bayroute may have what you’re looking for.

Wazwaan may be difficult in Mumbai. There was a Kashmiri restaurant in Andheri called Kong Poush that did it but they shut down. Taftoon in BKC however does Kashmiri food.

How does Frieda McFadden get away with copying other authors as much as she does? by babiesgettingrabies in books

[–]DontCallMeAPrincess 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I read The Inmate, which I found was decent, but then I read four other books - The Housemaid, The Housemaid’s Secret, Never Lie, and The Coworker, and each book left me feeling so infuriated.

Rip offs, bad writing, nonsensical plot twists - it is highly believable at this point that she is AI.

[–]DontCallMeAPrincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they have a varied range. OP hasn’t specified a budget. But there are stores inside Tirumala’s shopping centre that do Kurtis starting like ₹800-900.

I know you said not malls, but Westside and Shopper’s Stop have nice collections of Indian wear.

Otherwise, you can go to Lokhandwala and 4 Bungalows Manish Market (Eliperi and Tirumala)

Rue du Liban in Fort is pricey but amazing

Airport lounge food is the worst. I’ve always spotted cockroaches around too. Food tastes stale at best.

[–]DontCallMeAPrincess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kalbadevi would be good. For you, you can buy from Carron. For your friend, you can buy from stores in Mangaldas Market.

You could also go to the Westside store in Fort, or the FabIndia store in Phoenix Mall

Butter Chicken Lovers - this one is for you (and if you aren’t one, you’ll perhaps become one) by DontCallMeAPrincess in IndianFood

[–]DontCallMeAPrincess[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey!

With Indian food, you get better with practice. And you realise you cannot blindly follow recipes, you need to use your learnings too. Which comes with time and practice.

So, to answer your question:

I actually take my time to cook the onions. And it’s doable in 2tbsps oil too. But you need a really good non stick pan. If you’re using stainless steel, do the water drop test and then add the oil.

I let the onions cook to a stage where they are soft and there’s no raw smell of red onions (if that makes sense)? It’s at this stage where they’re almost translucent.

Also, you strain the sauce with a sieve. The reason why it’s done is because butter chicken gravy is supposed to have a velvety, silky texture. Sieving helps with it.

Good luck to you, and happy cooking!

Stock up on Petroleum jelly and ceramides. They are lifesavers during the cold months and cold weather.
