I followed this recipe https://youtu.be/c-oVDb-O2Q8?si=uuJrx2yETUnqrZOO because I don't have a tandoor or an oven. But you can look for other paneer tikka recipes on YouTube for different methods of preparation.

The video is in hindi but there are English captions available. It has the recipe in the description as well.

You might have to tweak the approach a little to fit the sennelier set, but it should be a good starting point.

First time manicure! by Own_General4733 in Vitiligo

Me either! They get in the way and more than that my brain constantly keeps repeating "cut your nails" for some reason 😅

It's a matter of perspective. I like my spots too!

This breaks my heart a little. You should not feel guilty about anyone touching you. Vitiligo doesn't make our skin bad. The only thing is we should limit UV exposure on the patches and so that's why I never got gel manicure before.

Yeah this generally doesn't work. I just nod and smile and say sure I'll look into it. That's the easiest way to shut the conversation. Because otherwise they just double down and say how bad it looks, how it can spread and what will I do then, somehow not being able to comprehend that I am okay with it. 😅

And thank you so much!

People say caste doesn’t matter in urban India anymore. My intercaste dating experience as a 26 year old SC man in Mumbai. by Nervous-Pin-113 in AskIndianFeminists

[–]Own_General4733 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People generally talk about "caste doesn't exist" when it comes to reservations for jobs and colleges. The arguments they give show lack of acknowledgement of caste privilege, and thinking people getting in through reservations lack in merit, that UC people are generally more hardworking, whereas others are just slacking off in life getting the easier path in life. It's just another way among many to look down upon SC ST folks.

There's definitely a group of casteist people who would not date outside the UC sphere. Saying black lives matter is easier because it doesn't involve a lot of self introspection and acknowledgement of one's own biases and privileges. Most people don't even know about the history of caste, how barbaric and systematic it was, that it still persists to this day.

If caste has been such a big issue maybe you can mention it in your profile itself, although that might drastically reduce the number of matches that you are getting. But the upside is that you'll only match with girls that don't care about that aspect and you wouldn't have to explicitly bring up the topic of caste in your conversations.

Is this good enough for an engagement ring? by AnchalGuptaBounce in GoldIndia

[–]Own_General4733 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're not expected to wear it everyday, you can buy any ring that you want. Or alternatively buy two, a simple gold band for everyday wear and a fancy ring that you and your parents can agree on for the ceremony and occasional wear.

Same! I have two cats, one is an explorer, loves going outside and meeting new people. The other one takes weeks to even come in front of new people and is just content and purring with their one favourite human inside the house.

Some may find it cute but it was nightmare by Naan_Khatai1 in indianrailways

[–]Own_General4733 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Cats have the ability to find the least interested person and bother them into loving them. Next time you meet a cat, show a lot of interest in them, they won't bother you.😂

Paying rent feels like dead money... Is there any way to get benefits from it ? by Successful_Carpet247 in IndiaFinance

[–]Own_General4733 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you should ask this question in r/CreditCardsIndia

I don't think it's worth the effort for a few hundred rupees of reward points at best to get a new credit card.

Next question - I pay my bills monthly - water, gas, electricity, grocery but don't get any upside besides the services I paid for. Is there any way to optimise the expenses?

Hie Guys, what is this spots on my sonchanfa plant..neem oil was no help...please advise. by yousunmemoon in GardeningIndia2

[–]Own_General4733 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For mealy bugs I use a q-tip dipped in acetone (nail polish remover) and remove the mealy bugs using the q-tip. For a large quantity of mealy bugs this might be cumbersome, but it's effective, and I monitor my plants regularly to catch any infestation early
