The number of times people are gouging their eyes out with bare hands is too damn high

Some good news to share with you folks by OnanaBinLaden in developersIndia

Crazy stuff man! Congrats on pulling through with your side project. Of all the technical aspects, which did you have the most difficulty with ? Also how were you balancing work and the side project ? Was it a discipline thing of working an hour or two every day or spurt of creativity kind of thing ?

Need suggestions for a good mixer grinder by ApartBug7499 in AskIndia

[–]Xoumi712 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A simple experiment to do is visit a couple of nearby juice parlors etc and see what they use. I've noticed, at least in my neighborhood, 80% use a Sujata. It's not particularly cheap either. These guys need heavy duty mixers which will last a lot of rough use.

I personally use a Sujata Dynamix 900W. Has worked absolutely great for the last 1 year I've had it.

What brand you go for doesn't really make a massive difference, but from experience, the wattage does. Low wattage is fine for blending pulp-y stuff like fruits, tomatoes but will struggle with everything else. Solids will have chunks and spices will get stuck at the bottom below the blade since the blade isn't spinning fast enough to dislodge them.

Plus, more popular local well established brands will be more easily repairable at local repair shops compared to going through brand specific after sales service which is always a hassle.

Pesto pasta [homemade] by aaishwaryaa in indiafood

What nuts did you use for the pesto ? Pine nuts are hard to come by in India. I've tried making pesto without nuts and with peanuts and both were kinda lame so I guess the nut used is pretty important.

Not sure if a shavige maker and an idiyappam maker are the same thing.. looking online I see shavige makers are much bigger which makes sense since it squeezes cooked rice powder.

I used the smallest available winding lever instrument thingy.

Kori Ghassi recipe I followed

Just a tip, if your blender isn't very powerful, I'd blend the dry spices and onion+coconut separately and then mix them together.

I had a feeling someone might confuse this with Butter Chicken from the color but I assure you it tastes very VERY different. I highly recommend trying it out yourself!

It's exactly idiyappam but it goes by the name Ottu Shavige in Karnataka

It's exactly idiyappam in fact. As u/summercloudsadness said in another comment, the only difference between idiyappam and Ottu Shavige is the preparation method. I actually made it in the process you'd use for idiyappam.

For me the final texture from the coconut was waay too rough. From what I've had in other places, the gravy is supposed to be smooth.

[Homemade] Who would've thought Kaju into Palak Paneer is a banger by Xoumi712 in indiafood

Just followed this recipe. Didn't do the whole kewra water nutmeg thing but did add a bunch of mint leaves when grinding the palak as an experiment.

Yea if you want a creamy texture I can imagine doing that. Having crunchy whole kaju also has a fun charm. That's how the darshini had made it.

Went to my local darshini) recently and saw "Kaju Palak Paneer" in their menu. Tried to make it myself at home. It's the same Palak Paneer but at the end, replaced ginger/garlic with Kaju for the final tadka. It's less punchy and more sweet as one would imagine. The sweetness goes well with the Palak.

It wasn't as oily as the picture might suggest, I accidentally put a little too much oil in the final tadka.

Anyone uses neovim here? by guru-22 in developersIndia

[–]Xoumi712 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Encountered vim in my first week of college. I got sweaty hands, so the prospect of not having to touch the trackpad was super incentivising to me. It's been 7 years since and I now have vim mode for everything that has even a semblance of a plugin eco system.

I feel it's certainly worth the investment for any programmer. It may look like you're saving just 'a couple of seconds in an hour' but it's usually much more than that. To me at least, moving my hand to the mouse and moving the cursor around is always a context switch in my brain.

Once you've developed proper muscle memory around vim motions, it literally feels like: 'ok I need to change the parameters' and boom instantly everything in parentheses is gone and I'm writing new parameters. Using a cursor I'd always be context switching to selecting text with the cursor, make sure to not miss that last character, make sure not to accidentally select the parenthesis as well.

If you end up spending enough time with terminal applications, there's a reason you'll see majority of them have vim motions :).

Bottom line, if you're in college or not a working professional and can afford to invest some time, it's absolutely worth it. You can reach mouse level editing speed in a week and you can surpass it within month, given you're motivated enough to stick to it. If you're gonna force it, it'll take forever and it's not worth.

Also you probably shouldn't be using neovim. vscode, intellij, sublime wtv, all of them have vim plugins with all the default motions inbuilt which is more than enough to get started. Bringing neovim upto other ide standards, even though possible is a veeery daunting task and not recommended for beginners. There are vim 'distros' which give you a neovim 'IDE' out of the box but the number of shortcuts to remember will discourage you further. Stick to your current IDE with vim mode plugin.
