Hello, I'm traveling in orissa right now and I'm looking for premixed curries i can buy to throw in a pot with water and make dinner with.

I've met plenty of locals and asked a few about instant or pre-mixed curries, but they all say that there's no such thing as premixed curries in india.

The strikes me as odd since instant curry is very common in every country with any sort of curry tradition I've been to and it seems like some company would have taken advantage of the market.

am I asking the wrong question?

I'm either not recognizing or haven't found any curry mixes yet.

are they not called curry?

should I be looking for something else?

thanks

Metaaallllllll!

does anyone have any insight into this? actual behind the scenes knowledge?

the sets either look like cheap plastic or ps3 graphics.

It's very distracting and making it almost impossible for me to immerse myself in the story.

It's very frustrating because I like the movie and the story and I think the actors are mostly doing a good job, kamala and her family are hilarious, but I can't get over how dog shit the CGI , editing and set pieces are.

did anyone else notice this?

and the budget was 220 million. it was huge, I can't understand why the effects and set pieces are so terrible.

a small example: when captain Marvel "changes" her clothes in the singing Palace, her entire wardrobe is clearly changed off screen, she's already wearing her new costume when the camera switches back to her and there are literal like 1970s cartoon Disney sparkles floating around her for a second to imply that she morphed her costume?

have Marvel movies always looked this ridiculous? I feel like 10 years ago the effects and settings were more believable, or at the very least more immersive.

All of these effects look like they were made in one frantic week.

oh, and the costumes?

Why are all the costumes baggy?

like professor Marvel's costume is baggy, everyone on Nick Fury ship is wearing baggy jumpsuits.

and it's not like cool baggy, they just didn't make costumes that fit for everybody on set?

professor's Marvel's mom's hair looks crazy, it looks like they sprayed white spray paint on her head and was like okay, she's old now.

the kittens are rough, their textures, movements and physics are absurd.

I tried to find one with Ashley burch since I think she was the voice of computer bot lady in the pilot episode?

but it was a lot of work, relatively, for the internet, so I didn't.

Tempbot! right?

oh, I think the borders of my B+P memory are just hazy enough that I can justify watching the show again.

That's very exciting.

tldr: baking/steaming garlic in the peel is the clear winner for volume clove peeling.

Crushing is the winner for a couple cloves in a stir-fry, root end cut is obviously better for garlic chips.

The last garlic peeling post had so many good suggestions that I decided to trial each of them at least a few times with fresh/older bulbs of different shapes and sizes.

One method worked in any situation.

For peeling as many cloves as you want, each technique had some major cons except for the final, winning method put forward by @[email protected] !

The results were:

Smashing -

pros: easy, classic technique. usually works.

cons: peel can get stuck inside a smash, you still have to pull off the peel, occasionally the peel is still stuck to the skin, cloves are damaged.

Slicing off root end and peeling -

pros: easy, faster

cons: still have to manually peel it, much faster but not fast.

Garlic roller -

pros: I cannot find one. Sometimes works?

cons: can only roll a couple of cloves at a time, much more effort than other methods, have to either cut off the ends first or later, so you're doing all the work without any benefit. These are a no for me, dawg.

Shaking -

pros: fun to do, does work for more than half the cloves of large batches using two aluminum popcorn bowls for a minute of shaking.

cons: a LOT of effort, bruises the cloves before cooking, very messy, juice everywhere, inevitably doesn't peel every clove, so you have to spend time hand peeling the leftovers, even with prep work of slicing off top and root end.

WINNER is root end cut and steaming or roasting in peel as suggested by @[email protected]:

pros: least effort, safest, cooking is already done, fastest and simplest clove peeling, no bruising beforehand, least messy

Method:

Cut off root end.

Steam(~10 minutes) or bake(400 degrees ~30 min) as much garlic as you want.

Let garlic sit for a few minutes to cool down.

Pinch the top end of each peel and the clove will pop out easily, discard peel.

Mash the garlic together and season however you like for a garlic dip.

pet urine, whiskey, perfume, you can use white vinegar to get rid of most smells on most materials: carpets, furniture, clothes, without damaging the material.

vinegar is amazing at breaking down odors and then evaporating and not leaving a trace.

I'm feeling 4

bold move with the title, but they really pull it off this book.

this is a great final installment.

the entire book is good, but here's a couple moments that stuck out.

I can't sing this book's praises enough, it really is a solid ending with room to continue or conclude a limited run if they want to.
