મને તો થાય છે સ્વીકારી લઈએ હાર,

પણ મારી માં એ ખાધેલી સવા શેર સુંઠ નું શું.?

I really want to accept the defeat,

But then i think about my mother who had tried her best to make me brave.

tried to translate it for non gujjus.

I have such an issue with Tumblr and it's desi people

It's GUJARAT. there's an A between J and R. It's not gujrat. NO.

GENERAL AWARENESS PEOPLE, it's all I ask

#desiblr #suffer ye suhana nahi #desi tumblr #desi tag #gujarati #gujrat #that word is an abomination #it does not exist #kill it

[survivetoread]

Presenting, an apple.

Some Indian languages: What do the Persians call it? Yeah, I'm gonna go with that.

Other Indian languages: What do the English call it? Yeah, I'm gonna go with that.

Marathi: :)

All other Indian languages: 👀

Marathi: It's clearly a 'travelmoon'. :) It's like a little moon I can carry when I travel.

Gujarati: *furiously takes notes*

Pierogi & Kielbasa Curry

This is a Polish-Indian fusion dish that is one of my favorite meals to make. The Gujarati spice base with Polish staples makes for a very tasty and hearty stew-like curry. Enjoy :)

NB: If an ingredient doesn't have an amount next to it, it is intended to be eyeballed to the maker's preference. Additionally, be sure to check the footnotes at the bottom before asking any questions. My inbox is always open.

Ingredients

Vaghar Vegetable Oil 1 Cinnamon stick 5-10 Cloves Cumin seeds Black mustard seeds Fenugreek seeds 1 Dash of hing (asafoetida) (1)

Contents 1 Onion Garlic (2) 12 Potato & Farmer's Cheese Pierogi (3) 1 Kielbasa (14 oz.) (4) 2 Tomatos Water ~1 tsp. Tomato paste

Spices and Thickeners Cumin powder Coriander powder Paprika Garam masala (5) Chili powder (6) ~1 cup Sour cream (7) Potato Flakes

Instructions

Start by mincing the garlic and dicing the onions and tomatos. Then Put them to the side. To make the vaghar, put the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. After about a minute of letting it heat up, add all of the whole spices to the pot (cinnamon, cloves, cumin seeds, mustard seeds, and fenugreek seeds). Stir the spices a little to make sure they are coated in the oil. Once the cumin seeds begin to toast and change color, add the hing and stir again. The goal here is to infuse the oil with the flavor of the spices, so once you feel that has been accomplished(8), add the garlic and onions and begin sauteing(9).

Once the onions start to brown, add the kielbasa and all of the pierogi. Be sure to stir carefully so as to not poke holes in the pierogi, and make sure there is enough oil to prevent the pierogi from sticking and tearing open. If you notice things starting to stick, add more vegetable oil. Ultimately, the goal at this stage is to fry the pierogi skins to prevent them from becoming soggy after you add the water and infuse the pierogi and kielbasa with the flavor of the spices. Once you feel that is done, add the diced tomatos (juice and all) to the pot, and fill with water until everything is covered. add the tomato paste and stir.

Add all of the ground spices (cumin, coriander, paprika, and garam masala, and chili powder(10)) and stir. Turn the stove up to high, and stir. Continue to stir carefully so as to avoid tearing pierogi, and try diligently to keep things off the bottom of the pot because they will stick easily. Once the curry starts to boil, turn the heat down to low/simmer and add the sour cream. Once you are happy with the amount of sour cream you have added, thicken the curry the rest of the way to your preference with the potato flakes.

Footnotes

Ingredients (1) If you cannot obtain the hing or garam masala, don't sweat it. They are not integral parts of the recipe. (2) Feel free to economize anything in this recipe. I frequently use garlic powder instead of garlic and canned diced tomatos when I am busy. The recipe above in its current form is intended to represent the freshest possible version of it. Do not drive yourself crazy trying to make it perfect. (3) Be careful with pierogi that simply call themselves "potato and cheese." I know at least in the United States a lot of the potato and cheese pierogi use cheddar, which would not work for this recipe. Alternatively, you could use plain potato pierogi and make the farmer's cheese yourself (to my knowledge all you have to do is boil milk, add sour cream till it curdles, and strain the curds) and add it seperately to the curry. (4) Preferably, use turkey or chicken kielbasa to avoid accidentally committing a heresy against one of the two cultures this dish is from. (5) Generally, its highly unusual for turmeric to be lacking from the list of spices in a curry like this, but in my earliest attempts with this recipe, I noticed it was clashing with the spices usually found in kielbasa. If you want to try adding it anyways, be my guest. (6) I actually usually don't add chili powder since this curry is already naturally so mild I most often make it for spice-averse audiences, but hypothetically just chili powder shouldn't really increase the heat much because of all the dairy. Therefore, if you're interested in making this recipe with all the heat of a traditional indian curry, I recommend adding a few whole, dried red chilis to the vaghar as well as a tablespoon of chili garlic sauce when you start cooking the onions. (7) 1 cup is what i most commonly add, but really how much you want to add is entirely dependent on how much you like sour cream. You could easily put in 2 cups as well. You could also put in 1/2 a cup and and have sour cream available for people to add to their individual bowls. Instructions (8) the other goal here is to not burn the spices. It can be a fine line trying to infuse as much of their flavor as possible into the oil without overheating them. All you can do is try to gauge if its infused by smell. Ultimately, if the scent of the vaghar becomes smoky, just add the onions immediately to prevent any further burning. (9) I also like to add a small amount of all the ground spices (cumin, coriander, paprika, and garam masala) or a teaspoon of curry paste to the onions here as well. This helps give the onions, kielbasa and pierogi more of that flavor, but it also absorbs oil and makes things easier to stick the bottom of the pot, so judge for yourself whether its worth it. (10) see 6. It is not necessary to add the chili powder unless you like heat.

"ખૂટે ભલે રાતો પણ, વાતો આ ખૂટે નહીં.

વાતો એવી તારી-મારી, ચાલતી રહે આ રાત,

ચાલતી રહે સદા, મીઠી-મીઠી વાતો વળી...

ચાંદ ને કહો આજે આથમે નહીં."

Song: Chaand Ne Kaho (2019)

Movie: Chal Jeevi Laiye

Translation: Even if the talks are not enough, the nights should be. Our talks are such. This night should go on, go on forever which has such sweet talks. Tell the moon to not set today.

Not to toot my own horn but guys Gujarati Ghazals are on another level

In a quiet balcony, (she was) waiting for someone,

I saw the queen of beauty

I saw a princess

The mehndi on her hands was blossoming

The Kohl in her eyes was blossoming

Like a small garden, developing with a beautiful weather

Her smile held a hundred songs

Even her silence was music

She had affection for even shadows

Her love; bound to (sound of) footsteps

She decorated a palace of dreams

With the asopalav (leaves) of her memories

With her downturned gaze, she had made time stop to her will

She bounced like waves

And twirled like wind

If someone came to her smiling, she blushed, lovely

Youth had blessed her

There were no pains for her

Nature itself was desperate to be loved by her

After long years, I'm seeing the same balcony again,

The same one

There's no music nor melody here

No love bound to (sound of) footsteps

There is no palace of dreams here

And no dance of love

It feels too lonely,

It feels too melancholy

She was not my lover, nor my bride

I had only seen her waiting at her balcony

Who she was, what was her name—

Even these are not things I know of

Even then, my heart feels melancholy

It feels lonely.

Shaant Zarukhe (at the quiet balcony) by Saif Palanpuri
