@st-just of course!
(sorry these recipes are going to be written in a stupid way). also i do use my instant pot a LOT so this may not be helpful if you don't have an instant pot
so my #1 most cooked food is an ultra-basic daal.
in the instant pot, heat up a few tbsp of ghee and fry 1tsp cumin seeds and 1/2tsp mustard seeds (this isn't authentic northern indian but w/e i like them in this) until they start popping. add in 1-2 diced onions and 1/4 tsp hing. fry until onions are golden brown. add 1 1/2 tsp coriander powder, 1 tbsp chili powder (i use cayenne), 1 tbsp turmeric, salt or MSG (to taste), and fry until spices are aromatic. add 1-2" finely diced ginger, an equal amount of finely diced garlic, and (optional) a handful of diced small green chilis. fry for another minute. add 1-2 cups of dried beans (rinsed clean beforehand), either red lentils, toor daal (split pigeon peas), or chana daal (split chickpeas). if you're using chana daal you probably want to soak for an hour or so beforehand. for each cup of dried beans, add 2-3 cups water. optionally, drop in a bullion cube or use vegetable stock instead of water. pressure cook on high for 15 minutes (less for lentils), then natural release the pressure for 10 minutes. stir in 1 tsp of garam masala, 1 tbsp kasuri methi, lemon juice, and additional salt as needed. serve with rice and yogurt.
this keeps extremely well in the fridge all week.
i also recently made a carrot and lentil soup that was extremely good and follows... basically the exact same principles as above
in the instant pot, to a few tbsp of ghee, add 2 tsp cumin seeds and 1 tsp mustard seeds. fry until they sputter. add 2 chopped onions and 1/4 tsp hing, cook until onion is golden brown. add 2-3 tsp coriander powder, 1 tsp turmeric, 1 cayenne powder (optional), and salt. cook until fragrant. add 1" ginger and several cloves of garlic, both chopped fine, and cook for another minute. add in ~1kg of chopped carrots, 1 cup dried lentils, and enough water or vegetable stock to cover (depends on your desired thickness, but you can always add more water later, so i'd err on the side of putting in less). pressure cook on high for 10 mins, allow to natural release. use a stick blender to blend the soup smooth. you can pass it through a fine mesh strainer if you want but i didn't-- it got smooth enough for me with just the stick blender. add 1-2tsp of garam masala and 1 tbsp kasuri methi. taste for salt. garnish [optionally] with a big spoonful of brown sugar in every bowl. you could also stir in cream/coconut milk/yogurt here for creaminess but tbh i just serve it with a dollop of yogurt at the end
i also really like to cook butter paneer but it's a bit more involved so i don't know the recipe for it off the top of my head. and also way less healthy so probably for the best that i have not memorized the recipe lmao. even more involved is malai kofta which also tastes really good-- i did write down my recipe for that one.
oh and and not a meal prep because it does not keep at all, but fried okra is unbelievably good. basic recipe
in a small amount of neutral oil, fry frozen okra pieces over medium heat until crispy (~10 mins). do not overcrowd the pan. when the okra is cooked, stir in 1tsp ground coriander, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1/2 tsp turmeric, 1/2 tsp cayenne powder, [optional] garam masala, and salt to taste. serve immediately.
anyway all of this is adjust to taste + i am not an expert by any stretch of the imagination. but i do make that daal recipe like once a week lmao
Had a solid craving for everything lentil based for the last month. Fulfilled none of it, going crazy over here for some daal, or at the very least, saag aloo (potato, spinach and spices).
A bit of life advice from someone (AFAB) whoās still figuring it all out.
When it comes to the gym, not comparing yourself to AMAB or insanely muscular people. You are very much your own person, and not everything you see on social media is believable. Be kind to your body and it will (hopefully) be kind to you.
Eating a varied and balanced diet. I donāt know about you, but I bleed. Iron in the diet is often overlooked. Eat your leafy greens, meat and meat alternatives, seeds, nuts, oats and pulses!
Wear what you want. Your clothes donāt define your gender or orientation - you do. I had my hair cut short recently. Iām still a woman, albeit a masculine presenting one. Donāt let the people around you tell you what you are and are not - thatās up for you to decide.
I like to journal. I find itās a great way to unload my brain after a long day/week - and a great way to settle down to sleep without so many restless thoughts.
Iām coming up to my A-Level exams. If you are too, or if youāre doing studies in general, remember to be kind to yourself. You can only do the best that you can do, and at the end of the day that is all that you can do. Try not to compare yourself to others. Everybody treads their own path in life.
Learn new skills. At the minute Iām trying to do pushups. Iāve given myself the task of doing 30 a day on my knees for as long as it takes. Learning skills takes time and consistency. If you can stick to a time frame then you are building resilience and tools to succeed in the future with more difficult long term tasks.

5 best albums of all time (in my humble opinion) - A thread!
Bardo from The Obsessedās album āLunar Wombā was a favourite on my iPod as a kid. I think a lot of my music taste comes from my older brother, who uploaded a range of hip hop, rock and metal to a pink iPod shuffle and gave it to me along with a pair of bright pink skull candy headphones. They served me well.
Pure Evil by Puppy is another great album, I saw them live in Glasgow after a wake. Big fan of āā¦And watched it glow.ā
Nikogdaās āParamnesiaā used to be on Tidal but is now only on bandcamp - I came across 47°9'S, 126°43'W in early 2020 and itās probably my favorite track. Thereās a theme here with epic guitarsā¦
I think most of GS!YBEās albums have been bangers. LYSFLATH is a top contender.
Finally, AAA by HYUKOH and other collaborators. Always been a fan of folky music and good vocalists.
Honourable mentions to the local bands that I love, and also Des Arkās ādonāt rock the boat, sink the fucker.ā
