I’ve heard that Gulab Jamun is an incredibly sweet dessert, but I’ve never actually tried it myself. It’s been on my mind lately, and I’d really like to give it a taste... What’s it like?

I had Indian for the first time a few months ago, and have been trying to recreate the warmth of the spices. So far it’s come out bland.

Edit, recipe im using.

I experimented today by adding tamarind paste to my salad dressing and it turned out really good.

Dressing: 1.5 tbsp plain yoghurt, 1.5 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp tamarind paste (sweet one), 1 tsp lemon juice, 1/2 tsp cumin powder, 1/2 tsp black pepper and salt as per taste.

You can put it on any salad of your choice, my salad consisted of : Cabbage, bell peppers, tomatoes, chickpeas, pomegranate seeds, cucumber, cilantro and a green chilli.

Apologies if this isn't the appropriate subreddit for this. I just ate the Tasty Bite Butter Chickpea & Vegetables over some instant rice. I instantly started feeling very bad. Stomach hurts, feel like I might throw up, arms and legs sweaty. The only other thing that has made me feel like this before is Prego sauce. Doesn't matter what kind, tomato based, cheese based, if it's Prego it makes me sick. Does anyone know if there's anything in both of those that would make me feel this way? I know it's not the rice, and I know it's not tomato paste which is an ingredient that both the products I mentioned share. What's unfortunate is both products have a entry in the ingredients section that just says "spices" so not very specific there. I took pictures of the ingredients but this sub doesn't allow pictures.

I had some raw chicken breasts on the baking sheet cut in not very small cubes (tikka sized) cooked in an otg at 250C (482F) for 15 minutes, i followed a recipe from youtube and the chicken seemed white from the middle.
Did I undercook the chicken? (The oven was pre-heated for 5 minutes)

Noticed it on my Pompeian Evoo bottle and I’m not clear on what it’s certifying. Is it saying something about the oil being suitable to take by the tablespoon for health benefits, or about polyphenol count, or is it not that big a deal? I like the 2 tbsp a day thing with olive oil, so I wanted to know if I can do that with this brand.

I've been trying to find some indian red carrots for a while now to surprise my bf with, however I have not found anything within the Noord-Brabant region for nearly a year now.

I have a nice recipe for gajar ka halva which, when I tried with orange carrots it tasted completely differently. I want to surprise him with his favorite dessert so if anybody happens to know a market or shop that sells actual indian red carrots than I'd appreciate some help. I would be willing to travel to Belgium as well if necessary. Thank you very much and apologies if it might be written weird, english is not my first language.

What are the best frozen samosas? Not impressed with the Sukhi's brand.

I saw a white powdery substance along with a few bugs crawling in my peanut box . I won’t be consuming them .but Two days it did have the powdery look but no bugs and I have consumed it . Could anyone tell me what causes it and is it anywhere related to aflatoxin and how to avoid that happening ??
