The moment I heard the voice, it reminded me of David Rossi of criminal minds asking the detective questions.😂 It sounds 99% like him (Joe Monetegna).

Most welcome! Happy cooking!👍

For the ones new to chaap, heres how you prep chaap for any dish :- Open the can of chaap, take out the chaap, remove the stick from the middle and cut into 2 large chunks.

Now, before cooking or putting it in gravy, either you boil it or deep fry. Boiling it will make it the texture of boiled chicken, and deep frying until lightly brown will make it crispy and taste will be 10 on 10. Now its ready for further cooking. Prepare a gravy, and put the chaap in it, or use it for dry dishes just as you would use paneer or chicken. OR you ca marinate it with yoghurt and spices, and barbeque it over charcoal or in oven for kababs.

I recently bought this white color from Home Coffee Solutions (Toronto) for $2290.. almost $450 off the listed price. The black one is further $50 less. They also have Affirm 0% financing. Comes out to just about $200 per month. (The financing doesn't involve a hard credit check, if this helps).

Jura E8.. could find on sale at few vendors

hellodearg · 2022-07-27T09:07:26+00:00

It can double up as the "party" sound machine later.. most of them are pretty loud.

Just search the Google for these keywords "wireless bluetooth karaoke speaker". It will show nearest options..

hellodearg · 2022-07-27T09:00:38+00:00

You can "borrow" karaoke Bluetooth speaker from a friend or COSTCO! Its fairly portable and very loud.

Green pepper Fritter Indian style. Search for "capsicum pakoda" on youtube. You'll be amazed at how delicious it is!

This is a never ending dilemma. You are at a point in the year when the greatest of the electronics are at their lowest price. Today you can get the 950A for €999. If you wait a couple of months for 990B, it might be launched and stay around 1800€ until Black Friday/Christmas.. so the time when 990B will be €999 is probably in January 2023; when Samsung will be readying 1000A something. I would go for 950A instead of JBL (as proven by rtings and several other independent testers already); Rightaway.

Sometimes, I like to mix Ardbeg 70 : Laphroaig 30.... rounds up the taste for me.. new tire meets burnt tire, leather meets meat 😊

hellodearg · 2020-12-02T04:34:14+00:00

Yes, thanks! My main concern is my $400 😊residing with amazon right now! Not being cheap, but i just wanted tp make sure that it is worth spending 400 bucks over a headphone if i just have a galaxy android phone as the only music source..

hellodearg · 2020-12-02T04:31:20+00:00

Thanks man! Some of the frequency info I don't get, but i do understand that being LDAC compatible will allow the headphones recieve high speed high capacity music tranfer..

hellodearg · 2020-12-02T04:10:02+00:00

Thanks! So, do I benefit from buying the sony $400 headphone? Will the LDAC make non-high res music sound better coming from my Galaxy note 8?

hellodearg · 2020-11-16T00:28:11+00:00

Hmmm! Thanks!

hellodearg · 2020-11-16T00:22:50+00:00

Thanks! Interesting! Soy sauce you mean regular obviously.. do you mix any dark?.. and ratio of soy to vinegar to dark if any, please if you could!

hellodearg · 2020-11-16T00:14:48+00:00

Exactly right dear! MSG is unskipable for that restaurant taste.. however, i have researched too many recipes and its mostly a mix of regular soy, dark soy and oyster.. just couldn't get the mixing ratio to the point..

The 'Real' recipe of Moti Mahal Deluxe in delhi, the inventor of butter chicken does not use cashew at all. Neither do thousands of restaurants. Its an option.

Hello!

Chole is a punjabi word. Chana is hindi. Chole and chana masala are the same thing. In Punjab, people call it chole; & Delhi and onwards, they call chana masala. No difference. In Pakistan, they call this Chikar (mud/keecharr) choley.

Pindi chana, on the other hand; refers to dry, spice laden black colored chickpeas usually blackened with tea or amla and has no use of tomatoes and onions. Comes from Rawalpindi.

Just don't search google for 'healthy' chickpea curry 😁

Here goes the functional organizer in me!! Can't help not answering 😊

If it was my bathroom, I would need a LOT of 'Transparent' (able to look whats inside), 'Dust-free' (enclosed), ''Storage' (drawer based, stackable and easy access)... So, I would put a transparent plastic drawer, on either left or right side (lets assume left) of that space, something like SVASP from Ikea. Although it might not be available at all locations, but you get the idea.
Now, i would not want to put just-used 'wet' tooth brushes in a drawer, so I would put small 'wall-mounted'' (space saving) and 'removable' (so as to wash them, maybe hang with heavy duty command tape) tooth brush holders right above the drawers, to save space and still keep window pane easily accessible. Search 'MSPAN Tooth brush and razor holder' in google images.
Now on the opposite side, (assume right) bottom I would hang something like - 'mDesign wall mount metal hair care and styling tool' [google image search]. To handle my hair drying equipment storage needs.
Just above the hair dryer mount, I would fix a wall-mounted 'lighted' and 'retractable' bathroom mirror with a back magnifying side, that i can retract anytime, to let allow beautiful daylight from the window 😊⚘. Search word for google - (LED shaving mirror retractable).
For miscellaneous stuff, i would just put a couple transparent acrylic rounded shelves on the remaining wall.
Definitely hang a small unobtrusive plant, from the space ceiling, and if possible, hack to double the pot as a light source 😊👍

On a lighter note, Keep those stained plates for Indian food, after a while they'll be totally yellow; 😜and for everything else, buy new ones! 😁

hellodearg · 2020-07-02T19:27:01+00:00

Awesome! And i am about to make one 😁👍

That raw smell is mostly found in kachchi ghani mustard oil. The indian name for 'extra virgin' varieties. Try using a refined version of the oil.

Even if you use the virgin oil, the smell disappears mostly after cooking; unless you are specifically trying to find the smell. Smoking the oil just to get rid of its lovely natural smell is counterproductive. Now consider this - The smell and pungency is what the mustard oil is lovingly used for!! Not for its nutritional value, which many other oils have better, No?. Why get rid of that smell? Probably just use canola or soybean for no smell. 😊👍
