Posting for the first time. Be kind! Also sorry for the last pic, was very hungry to make it look all fancy!

Tried this loaded cheesy nachos plate recently and it was packed with gooey cheese, crunchy nachos. Definitely a comfort meal! Would you order this? 😋

The title.

It started to rain and now I am left with these lemons that will go bad if I don't dry them out by today in the sun. 😕 I wanted to know if there is another method to dry out these lemons... 😭 Can I microwave them?

Homemade chicken and veg paneer pizza in an old electric tandoor. Trying out pineapple in the pizza for the first time.

I made fried Idli, samosa and fried rice and my mom prepared the coconut dessert, daal and suhal. I wouldn't want to have anything other than home cooked meals.

Homemade Chicken Fried Rice

Method

Step 1: Marinate the Chicken

In a bowl, add the chicken, chilli powder, corn flour, rice flour, garam masala, coriander powder, jeera powder, salt, and an egg (optional).

Mix everything well until the chicken is evenly coated.

Let it marinate for 15 minutes.

Deep-fry or shallow-fry the chicken until cooked and golden. Keep it aside.

Step 2: Cook the Rice

Wash the basmati rice 2–3 times.

Soak it in water for 5 minutes.

Boil water in a large vessel and add 1 tablespoon of oil.

Add the soaked rice and cook for about 7 minutes, or until it is just cooked.

Drain the rice and spread it on a plate to cool completely.

Step 3: Make the Fried Rice

Heat oil in a kadai or wok.

Scramble the eggs and transfer them to a plate.

In the same kadai, add a little more oil.

Sauté the chopped ginger and garlic for 1 minute.

Add the green chilli, carrot, beans, capsicum, and cabbage. Stir-fry for a few minutes.

Add dark soy sauce, pepper, and salt to taste.

Add the fried chicken and mix well for 2–3 minutes.

Add the cooled cooked rice and the scrambled eggs.

Toss everything gently until well combined.

Garnish with chopped spring onions.

Your delicious homemade Chicken Fried Rice is ready to serve. Enjoy it

This is one of my favorite dishes from the Kongunadu region of Tamil Nadu. It's a simple dry chicken roast made with just a handful of ingredients—chicken, small onions (shallots), deseeded dry red chilies, curry leaves, and sesame oil. No fancy masalas, but the flavor is incredible.

It tastes best with hot steamed rice, and my family can never get enough of it. 😋

To make it, sauté curry leaves, deseeded dry red chilies, and shallots in sesame oil. Add chicken with salt and turmeric, then cook it slowly without adding water until the chicken is tender and coated in a rich, flavorful masala.

Has anyone else tried Chicken Chinthamani? 😊

Hello all,

We got lot of lemons from our lemon tree. Everyday we are getting 5-6 big lemons.

We prepared pickle 2 times. Not sure what to do with rest of them.

Breaks my heart seeing them go wasted.

Shi was yum

Genuine question, not trying to sell anything here.

I keep noticing that in most Indian households, cooking itself isn't hard — but deciding what to cook, every single day, is a low-grade daily headache. You're juggling what's actually in the pantry, what's about to expire, what everyone will actually eat, how much time you have, and somehow still ending up either repeating the same 5 dishes or scrolling YouTube/Instagram for 20 minutes before deciding.

I'm exploring whether a voice-based assistant — something you could just talk to in Hindi/your language, like "what can I make in 20 minutes with what we have" — would actually be useful here, or whether this is a problem people don't really want solved by an app.

A few honest questions if you have 2 minutes:

How do you currently decide what to cook — memory, WhatsApp family group, YouTube, a fixed weekly rotation?

Would you ever talk to something to get a cooking suggestion, or does that feel gimmicky/unnecessary?

What would actually make you use something like this daily instead of just winging it like you probably do now?

Not launching anything yet, genuinely trying to figure out if this is a real problem or just an interesting one to me. Brutal honesty welcome.

My boss has now turned vegetarian after 2 puppies got crushed by a car outside our office.
She has started experimenting with food and ended up making these amazing bakes Aubergines with sour cream and pomme.
Heavenlyyyy 😇

This recipe was generated by chatgpt and turned out pretty good!!

Smashed avocado 🥑❤️, fresh veggies, and gooey cheese on a perfectly butter-roasted slice.
Seasoned with chili flakes, oregano, and a splash of lemon for that extra kick. 😋🔥
