Here is anothe one of my favorites, its the spicy alternative to lassi, known as chaas and is a common accompaniment with meals in my fathers community.
Stuff:
2 cups fresh curds
1 teaspoon cumin seed powder (jeera)
1/2 teaspoon green chilli-ginger paste
1/2 teaspoon black salt (sanchal)
salt to taste
For the tempering
1 teaspoon oil
1/4 teaspoon mustard seeds
a pinch asafoetida (hing)
For the garnish
chopped coriander
1. Add curds (plain unsweetend yoghurt) to two glasses of ice water and blend with the jeera, chili paste and salt (if the curds are thick add more water, it should be a little watery).
2. Heat oil, add the hing, when it browns (if oil is hot it should brown immediately) add mustard seeds (and curry leaves, if you can find them, I also add one dried red chili for the uber fragrance, but if you have a fear of chillies, you can skip it; similarly you can substitute the ginger-chili paste with black pepper powder). Add to the blended (and hopefully frothy) chaas mixture. Serve cold.
Here is a video, which is almost the same as my recipe

Would you ever (under any circumstances) marry a true born and bred redneck ?
Sure, my BIL is a Hindu and one of the finest men I know.
Doubt it
Several, and yeah, I have no secrets
I consider them mutually exclusive, but I define myself as a Muslim Indian, not an Indian Muslim.
coz you're a nefarious clandestine cocksucking piece of shit

Actually I have a soft spot for him. He is clearly a man of compassion and principles.
1. What is your educational background?
2. What is the basis for your liberal, open-mindedness?
3. What is your goal in life?
4. Do you know if there was a conversion in your family somewhere in the earlier generations?
5. What do you look for in the man you want to marry?

I have a Masters in Foods,Nutrition and Dietetics and am currently working on my PhD in Nutrition.
Being Indian, my parents and extended families, my friends, the opportunities I have received in life and the kindness of strangers.
To be true to myself.
We've had several intercaste marriages, but I don't recall any conversions.
The ability to let me be me.
you just love to love those i hate.....Actually I have a soft spot for him. He is clearly a man of compassion and principles.
( i dont hate him)
bullshit.
you can fob all those ather morons with fuzzy meaningless crap like that, hell, the womens mags are full of fluffy kitten bullshit like that...
give us real insight, you gotta do better than that siddiqi...
No, I never like or dislike anyone based on what people I like or dislike think.
Thats the most important requirement for me. I'd hate to be the figment of someone else's imagination. :shrug:
yeh yeh,
"you don't want a man to change you blah blah"
half the geeks on here would take you as you are, so what....you'd marry all of 'em??
i dont think so...
what you want is a guy who makes you tingle, who makes you shiver every time you think of him, you want someone with that spark, pzaz, chutspah,
you want that element of danger, yet security, you want him to set your pulse racing yet you want to know he will never hurt you,
you want him to want your mind aswell as your body
you want mindblowing sex, with deep conversation after AND he'll take out the trash at night for you
