      How so? I think the author is trying to share home-style cooking as opposed to restaurant recipes?

      In the introduction on the amazon page, it literally states:

      "This book is a tribute from my family to my Mum, Anju Deepak; a psychology professor, a business woman, a great mother, wife and chef, all rolled into one. Perhaps what makes it refreshingly different from other cookbooks is that this book is the outcome of the effort and love of a son who wants to preserve the recipes of the delicious food that his mother cooked for him."

    Papdi Chaat: Most people buy readymade papdi and then make a dish out of it
    Lamb Kebab: Most people there don't have a barbeque. Many Hindus will never buy one.

            @RSmith: After colonization
            Indians left sustainability to be more western.
            whereas "some" westerners are discovering sustainability now.

            Unlike the sand and ice countries, Indias land was fertile and lush green and every region's variety of food can be grown to cook a good nutritious meal.
            So meat was kept at a minimum for a few days also for some though religious days.
            For some, for the kind of activity or job they did, it was not needed at all.

            Whereas in western counties hunting game was the only option as nothing can be gown several seasons, so the mentality never evolved from being hunters and gathers even as they occupied new lands and wiping out the local predators wherever they went.

              @Ashwagandha:

              After colonization

              The Indian vegetarian movement occurred in the 19th and 20th centuries well after colonialism, for political reasons.

              • Finarfin on 19/04/2021 - 14:14

                @1st-Amendment: If that is your scope, then maybe so. However Indian history is far far far longer than the brief moment in time that is colonialism. And in those times Indians were vegetarians. They slowly becoming meat-eaters as the yugas got worse and worse. Indians today are a bit of mixed bag. Some are vegetarians, some eat meat except beef, some eat everything. The point is, they started of as vegetarians (and some still are to this day) then slowly as the ages went by, they started consuming meat on a more frequent basis.

              • Ashwagandha on 19/04/2021 - 16:56

                @1st-Amendment: Not sure what you are talking about, or what that movement was called.

                But from ancient times Indians culturally followed "Ahimsa" -"the principle of not causing harm to other living beings" as much as possible also worship the surrounding and nature.

                Together with this,
                a human being is classified to have 3 gunas (Sattva ,Rajas,Thamas) and food is classified to help promote these gunas as
                basic explanation would be,

                Satvik - A sattvic diet is food and eating habit that is "pure, essential, natural, vital, energy-giving, clean, conscious, true, honest, wise"

                Thamsik - Sedative foods, also called static foods, or tamasic foods, are foods whose consumption, according to Yoga, are harmful to both mind and body. Harm to mind includes anything that will lead to a duller, less refined state of consciousness.

                Rajasic - mutable foods or rajasic foods, are foods that often provoke mental restlessness. They are not completely beneficial, nor are they harmful, to body or mind. Foods that cannot be categorized as either sentient or static are classified in this food group.

                Yogis and meditators to reach the ultimate meditative state chose satvik food which even does not even include onions ,garlic and any other food that acts as a nerve agent.

                Also as I said,
                The land provided enough food that people who ate meat also kept meat-eating to the minimum and on a need basis.
                (human beings are anatomically herbivorous, Meat-eating probably began by scavenging—eating the leftovers that carnivores had left behind)

            @RSmith: It's very subjective - there are Indian states which are 75-80% vegetarian and then there are states which are 90% meat eaters. Depends on which part of Indian you're in. Hindus make roughly 80% of Indian population and I would say at least 50% of them are vegetarian, on average, if not more.

            Given the population of India, it has maximum number of vegetarian people (and in the highest density) among all countries in the world. I remember being in a couple of states in India where every single restaurant on the streets was selling only vegetarian food and a vast variety of it, with menus of 10+ pages. The restaurants were all crowded and I was surprised to see so many amazing vegetarian flavours and dishes which are little known in the Western world or in Indian restaurants here.

            'A lot of' is a very tiny % of Indian population. I agree that it's still a lot of people but you will need to knock many many doors there to find one. It's not as common as you made it sound like. Chicken is the most commonly eaten meat (by a very large extent) among the meat-eaters.

              @RSmith: Even that is not true mate. Hindus didn't suddenly start eating meat one day. When food is scarce you eat whatever is available, otherwise you starve and die.
              We have been traditionally, culturally eating meat for its rich nutritional value. We even sacrificed live animals in temples, present to gods, then cook and eat the meat. India is not same everywhere. Some eat more, some eat less, some none at all.

                That's true. Majority of Hindus are vegetarians though, if you go by %. Even if you ever visit any suburb in Sydney or Melbourne with a high number of Indian restaurants (several of them are 100% vegetarian restaurants) and do a basic survey, you will get a fair idea.

            It's wrong. You need to spend more time there to understand the food habits. Majority of Hindus, considering their total population, are definitely not meat-eaters. You probably went to a place where it would have been a case.

          It's funny and well written but it also is a one dimensional caricature.

                    @King Tightarse: It's pretty clear that the people campaigning against Apu and wanting him to be removed from the show haven't actually watched it. The same crowd who campaign against violent video games.

                    He is shown time & time again throughout the series to be one of the most honest and hard working characters on the show and has real success as a result of his hard work. He has a ripped body, a bitching firebird, a beautiful wife with a family who love him.

                    Hanks response is clearly because he doesn't want to become a target of SJW and is happy to ride out the ongoing paycheques the show is bringing in despite the huge decline in viewership and writing quality. Who could blame him? Far easier to go along with it than die on that hill and either get fired or have the show cancelled.

                    The result of recasting the characters on the show to only be voiced by the ethnicity they represent completely discredits the medium. The show is a cartoon and everything in it is a caricature of American society. The whole show takes everything to the excess and it's not meant to represent an accurate portrayal of real life. People really overreact to these things, especially in America where everything is suddenly offense to anyone.

                      @Agret: If you read the NYT article linked above, it shows that he thought very deeply on the matter but was mostly swayed by speaking to people of Indian decent who said they were negatively impacted by the Apu character.
                      Apu is a one dimensional servile character but its also important to note that there were very few other Indian characters in Western media at the time it was written, so it really stands out. That translates to a lot of Indian immigrants and their children copping 'thank you, call again' in the workplace and schoolyard and other similar sayings which in time and with constant repetition, have a negative impact. "In a 2015 interview Azaria acknowledged the character's impact as fodder for widespread racially motivated bullying that targets children with South Asian heritage"
                      He was also in consultation with the writer of the film 'The Problem With Apu' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Problem_with_Apu who is Indian and said that he grew up loving Apu (due to lack of other Indian characters) but came to realize he was also setting a thin stereotype that was harmful: "childhood anecdotes of being called "Apu" by other children or having the character's catchphrases from the show said to them by strangers because of their perceived heritage"
                      Who knows Apu better than the man who voiced him for thirty years? Well, he has thought deeply on the matter and is no longer willing to do the voice because he has concluded is actually does cause some harm, despite being funny and popular and familiar to everyone.
                      I respect that decision and agree with him on that one.

Basically, if it genuinely causes harm to people (not slightly, maybe I got my feelings hurt but actually fuels schoolyard bullying) well yes, it should be reconsidered.
              As for the Apu name; well that was chosen by the Matt Goening and the writers of the Simpsons, not Indian parents.

    I bought a cookbook when I did the rickshaw run in India called Keralan Curries For Housewives. And on the back it goes on about how you (as a woman of course) can impress your husband or fiancé with the curries in the book.

            @binusam2007: That is such a cool video. I’ve seen a few proper Indian village cooking videos like this and they are great.

            A couple of handfuls of salt, a few handfuls of sugar, a shitload of eggs, a couple of bags of milk, mix with your hands for a while. Nothing else to do anyway. Then the dude who rolls it out does that acrobatic magic to stretch out the layer, and I noticed he wasn’t even bloody watching it, he was looking off to the side! That hand manoeuvre to make the balls is pretty cool too. These guys have been making these for ages.

            When I was in India, the fresh cooked parotta on the side of the road was the best thing, especially these oily layered Kerala variety. You get these in Malaysia too. Breakfast with these plus some puri sabzi and a little glass of masala chai = awesomeness.

                Yeah I have bought roti, paratha, Keralan parotta at some Indian supermarkets around - but I haven't tried steaming them, that's a good idea because they do end up a bit dry. I usually heat them in a hot pan like you said.

          I make it myself there's no other way around. It takes a minimum of 1.5 hours to get it done. Having a mixer helps a lot.

      I had a pulled pork burger takeaway at home for lunch, and homemade iced coffee with maple syrup!

    Sorry friends but Indian food is highly overrated. When we go to an Indian place cheap or high end ít seems like the chefs have no freaking sense of taste. Even the food which friend's mum cooks taste so cheap.

      Ask your friend's mum to make a sammich.

      Never been to India but I did live in Singapore for 4 years where I enjoyed what I'm assured is true authentic Indian food from the hawker stalls to the high-end restaurants. Yet to find any Indian restaurants in any of the major Australian cities that is genuinely representative of true Indian taste.

      • R4 on 18/04/2021 - 22:43

        The best Indian restaurant in the World (IMO) is in Little India, Singapore. Crazy cheap too.

            @Laziofogna: Didn't you see the IMO in my post?

            Reading a post properly and then commenting is the bomb.

            • Laziofogna on 19/04/2021 - 12:48

              @R4: That kind of opinion would have value after you tried them all and then you decide that for you that restaurant is the best. How can you have an opinion on something you don't know?

              • R4 on 19/04/2021 - 14:32

                @Laziofogna: FFS! It's not worth it champ.

                The best Indian restaurant in the World (that I have tried) (IMO) is in Little India, Singapore. Crazy cheap too.

                Happy now?

        Part of the problem is there's no such thing as 'Indian taste'. It's such a diverse country with so many different regions and each one has a different take on each kind of food. A basic chicken biryani in Hyderabad is not the same in Mumbai. A specific curry in Bangalore won't be the same in the North. Add to that there's also Pakistani, Kashmiri, Bangladeshi, Sri Lankan etc that all gets grouped as 'Indian' food. Not to mention all the 'Indian' foods we know about that aren't actually Indian at all.

        I've been to India on a few work trips and it's truly amazing the diversity in food, cultures and everything in between.

        Outside India, such as here and the UK, you tend to have 2 different types of 'Indian' restaurant places:-

        1) 'Colonial Indian' - These tend to be more upmarket and targeting Westerners. Milder food, not as authentic to cater to local tastes but higher quality. Small portions, higher price e.g. most of Harris Park or Rangoon in Crows Nest.

        2) 'Authentic Indian' - These tend to be lower quality, generally lower class settings but proper style food. Huge portions, cheap price e.g. Student Biryani or Anjapper on George St or multitude of places around Lakemba like Pista House.

        Then you get a hybrid of the two marketed as 'Indian Fusion' like Lal Qila at Barangaroo that tries to meld many different things together from multiple countries and catering for both types (using Sydney examples as only ones familiar with).

          and then there are 100% vegetarian, authentic Indian places that represent a true Indian veg and street-side food culture in my opinion, such as: https://aangan.com.au/indian-restaurant-west-footscray/
          https://www.chatkazz.com.au/
          http://www.a2bsydney.com.au/

          This food category is super important for Indian population and it was almost non-existent here until recent times. You will find this type of restaurants packed on any day despite their large seating capacity.

            @virhlpool: This is actually a very good point I hadn't considered, thank you. I did have an all-veg endless thali out there which was simply amazing. Sat on the floor, ate with hands and didn't know half the stuff they kept generously plonking on the banana leaf plate, but was all delicious. I'll need to try these out.

        • lostinsydney on 19/04/2021 - 15:26

          I had Student Biryani after much hype and it was meh. I had smoked goat biryani from Wazwan restaurant in Crows Nest and it was quite good.

      I do love dosa and I tried making this from packet stuff but its soggy AF. I usually end up go for dine-in. I had my first Dosa in a long time few weeks ago. I found this place that does paper dosa but they are closed until May.
