The Great Indian Kitchen - The mentality of Asian men towards women

The Great Indian Kitchen reflects the mentality of an Asian man, his selfish expectations towards women in general (wife, mother, sister), and the contrast of how women feel being treated this way.   I just admired the directors of this movie to capture the subtle emotions and expressions of the women and take a bold and radical turn to convey the story.  It's a must-watch!

My love for Masala Dosa - the Bangalore style

My love for authentic South Indian Masala Dosa! My thought of Masala Dosa takes me to the fond memories of Namma Bengaluru and one of my favorite restaurants in South Bangalore called Vidyarthi Bhavan.  The taste, texture, crispiness, and Chutney that goes along, the Masala inside the Dosa, are unique and consistent for many decades.   And so, when I moved to California, I wanted to re-create the exact taste of Vidyarthi Bhavan Masala Dosa so that I can have the same dish of my convenience in the USA.   I learned the Vidyarthi Bhavan Dosa batter recipe after doing some research upgraded the culinary in the kitchen to get the best Dosa experience.  I purchased a large cast-iron Tawa (pan) that I imported from Columbia. In addition, I bought a heavy-duty gas burner suitable for outdoor and other accessories required to make the entire Dosa experience a treat for all.   Ask me all about Dosa, and I’ll tell you what I learned :)   Here is th...

  Source   Foxtail millet is deceptively simple to cook. Once you get the millet:water proportion right, you’re all set for a super healthy pulao!

👉 "Strong opinions, loosely held."

You want to have a deep conviction about your craft (the stuff that you know a lot about), but that can make you stubborn and pedantic. On the other hand, you also don't want to be swayed by everyone's opinion all the time; that will make you a doormat. How to balance between confidence and flexibility? Between quick decision-making and curiosity? 1) Develop super strong opinions (mental frameworks, rather) in areas of your expertise, based on knowledge, expertise, observation, iteration, and even failure. 2) But hold them loosely, i.e. don't attach your ego or identity to those opinions. They are strongly held based on current best available data, but they should be easily adaptable when new and better data is available to prove them wrong. This change is not a reflection on you or your identity, it is a reflection of your curiosity. 👉  It is a reflection of a scientific mind that believes in experimentation and change.

  Drink water from the spring where horse drink. The horse will never drink bad water. Lay your bed where the cat sleeps. Eat the fruit touched by a worm.boldly pick the mushrooms on which the insect sit.plant the tree where the mole digs. Build your house where the snakes sits to warm itself. Dig your fountain where the birds hide from heat. Goto sleep and wake up at the same time with the birds. - you will reap all of the golden days grains. Eat more green - you will have strong legs and strong resistance heart,like the beings of the forest. Swim often and you will feel on earth like fish in the water. Look at the sky as often as possible and your thoughts will become light and clear. Be quite a lot, speak little and the silence will come in your heart, and your spirit will be calm and full of peace ✌️.
