The beauty of New Mexico Carne Adovada is that tho it takes a lot of time, it is very minimalist in terms of ingredients. It's chilies, stock, onion, garlic, and pork. That's it. Why New Mexico chilies with their flavor are crucial. Most other chillies overwhelm the dish.

Making New Mexico Carne Adovada starts off with a little best of self-torture. Dry roasting these divine NM chilies in cast iron for 4-5 minutes is giving yourself "mirchi chi dhuri" like used in torture & interrogation by Marathas. Then you add stock to it. And simmer. /1

On the same day the feds indicted a terrorist for planning to blow up a NYC synagogue, the Mayor is busy putting out taxpayer-funded social media propaganda. This administration is not serious about Jewish safety.

If mangroves are the ONLY flood barrier, then I wonder why Marine Drive aka Queen's Necklace has never flooded. Even during high tides and heavy rainfall, the sea tries its best, only to meet Tetrapods. And the following concrete embankment. At max a few waves splash through and kekdas end up figuring out ki BC dariya kidhar gaya?! This entire narrative that we can't engineer anti-flood provisions is evil. All of SoBo is reclaimed land on backwaters. It has been like this for 200 years now. The city is still here. Not just surviving, but growing. And we'll continue to push our limits. Every mangrove in the way will be cut. Every tree will have to go. You are in a city. Not a jungle. And despite all our greed, 1/3rd of our land is reserved and marked as a Forest (SGNP), where four dozen bibtyas (leopards) live in harmony with us. Monkeys, deers, gharial etc, all are still among us. Stop your BS Greta Syndrome. We will build. We will build as much as we want. We will plow through your ecosystem to create a new one. And we won't apologise for being normal. We have every right to be a first world city.

So many parallels between Dimple Kapadia & Tina Munim! Both 1957 born stunning Gujarati girls with wealthy Bombay parents who encouraged their teenage showbiz careers. Both fell in & out of love with Rajesh Khanna! Both were frequently paired with Rishi Kapoor on screen.

India’s right-wing gov't is presiding over a campaign of brutal violence against Muslim Indians. NYC is home to 330k+ South Asians, many of whom are Muslim Indians. Our leaders should be loudly condemning these atrocities. Instead, they're siding with the perpetrators. (1/x)
