INDIA's contributions to the world

You're kidding right? Lets see:

Morning:

Bread: Bakers' assistant rides in on bike at 5 a.m. with fresh bread from oven
Milk: Milkman comes at 5:30 with milk that came from Jogeshwari at 4 a.m. Not treated in any way. Thick one inch cream layer on heating.
Eggs: bought twice a week from the chicken guy in the market, with dark orange [not pale yellow] yolks.

Mid-morning: Ma goes to market [or did when she was living]
Fresh produce: sold by farmers in the market

Meat: slaughtered that morning, sold by the butcher only from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Chicken: pick out live bird, get it killed and plucked in 15 minutes.

Fish: obtained from the boats that morning [you can go to the docks at 5 a.m. to get it cheap and in bulk]. But still completely fresh at 10 a.m.

Sold by the fishermen.

American produce, meat, chicken tastes like paper in comparison.

My taste buds must be massacred, because that chicken balti I had a taste of yesterday was not spicy at all.

I like some indian food. There IS some stuff inside the "normal" range of flavour. Indian food DOES have an ability to test the extremes though.

Went for lunch at work to an Indian restaurant, I was you know the "white guy", everyone at work and those that invited me were amazed I went. But I did have a "hankerin'" for some spicy chicken(perhaps Dr Lou is right you can get addicted).

It was the first time I had, what I describe as a "Sugar Bomb". They drop like a little breaded ball(already possessing 50% sugar no doubt) into a bowl of liquid SUGAR. Christ! I ate one and nearly became an instant diabetic. I was fucked up all afternoon, dizzy and shit.

 

Thats a gulab jamun. Traditionally its made of milk proteins denatured with lemon and then drained of the whey and kneaded into balls then fried. Since the whey contains all the sugar [lactose] in the milk, you have to put them in sugar syrup to get a dessert.

However, in most restaurants they make it from flour, butter and milk powder and add sugar to the dough. Then fry it and dip it in sugar syrup. So its chock full of sugar. You are not supposed to eat the syrup. Take the jamun in the spoon and press it against the side of the dish to squeeze out the syrup, then have it.

And if you ever get the original ones, try them. They are called mawa gulab jamuns. Yummy!

We used to get fresh mawa from Parsi Dairy Farm for it. Parsis make the best mawa.

edit: I have to make a correction. Mawa is semisolid evaporated milk, chenna is denatured milk, chenna is used for Bengali sweets. So you're right, the mawa jamuns would also be chock full of sugar!

So is it your ruling all humans should find it unpleasant? I certainly have lost my taste buds now... I fail to appreciate the subtlety of a tasteless donut or tasteless subway food. :bawl:

 

ive got that tattooed on my arm.
also if you are going to say india never invaded another country you would first have to define when india became a country.

 

You can go by the last 60 years, if the previous n years stick in your craw.

 

i have this nagging suspicion that small eggs are getting smaller

/suspicious

 

i hate to speak ill of my aryan motherland but indian food looks like shit
aesthetically unappealing
tastes ok tho

i thought it was the southerners that spiced their shit up

oh
subway's coldcut combo rules

 

That was it, gulab jamun. Kmguru, your people have become immune to diabetes probably, like my people became immune to Vodka.

I actually was worried after that, and got checked out, I'm not diabetic ... :shrug:

 

India has added a whole new fashion craze to Canada. For instance they wear a winter coat over a saris and flip flops in the winter.

Getting back to the cuisine. My son brought home his lunch a few times because he said the Indian girls lunch next to him smelled so bad he felt like
vomiting, so he lost his appetite.

 

Any news of what happened to the Indian girls after they sat next to your son, shorty?

Are you saying he felt like vomiting seeing his own food in comparison, and then lost appetite? Did he regain it? Sorry I am a little slow in these things.

 

and who makes them?

India has done something useful? When? They built a cool house, no wait, that was a tomb. They have sent alot of doctors to the US to work with the underprivileged.

 

that was what i was getting at,not to be picky but if we are using that timeline we can include a whole lot of other countries.
india is at the top of my list of places i want to go along with cuba,portugal and china.i just hate it when people jerk off about a country like it can do no wrong.

 

Yeah he ate dinner that night, his lunch was untouched for two days. He eats his lunch away from her now(I think everyone might eat their lunch away from her).

 

not liking the smell of someone elses lunch makes you a racist.i wouldve thought you'd realized this you dirty nazi.
