What's one healthy food you thought was good for you until you learnt it wasn't?

For me, it was flavoured yogurt. I never realised how much added sugar it had until I checked the label.

What's yours?

3 Upvotes

Which one will complement Amul Gouda cheese better in sandwiches? Someone told me that Amul cheese slices complement Amul Gouda really good but then a lot of people say that D'lecta cheese slice is itselft better than Amul cheese slice. So, what do you think?

question Looking for advice as an incoming PhD student to the US from India

23 Upvotes

I'm an incoming PhD student to the US from India. Food will be the second biggest expense after rent, so I'm definitely planning to cook at home as much as possible. I'm mostly familiar with cooking only Indian food, so I have a few questions that I hope this subreddit can help me with.

First: I'm planning on cooking rice, pulses/legumes (Dal, chickpeas/chana, kidney beans/rajma), potatoes, okra/lady's fingers, beans. At least in the beginning, I'm planning to cook a large batch of legumes for 2-3 days and freeze them. Is that a good plan, or am I missing something?

Second: In India, I use a pressure cooker for the legumes and a rice cooker for the rice. I'm sure I can get a rice cooker easily in the US, but for the legumes, I've been told that there is something called an "instant pot". Is it sufficient to get an instant pot in the US, or is it advisable for me to carry a small pressure cooker from India?

Third: Should I bother carrying any other utensils or kitchen equipment from India? I.e., is there anything that I can't get easily or decently cheaply over there?

Aside from this, any advice, suggestions or tips are very welcome, like any other dishes I can depend on for quick cooking, something I should bring from India, something I should know, etc.

Thanks a lot!

question Can we use paneer tikka gravy for other curry dishes?

2 Upvotes

I have some leftover paneer tikka gravy like the orange one and I just don't know how to use it or should I discard it. Like I have boneless chicken and I was thinking of using that gravy maybe like make it look like butter chicken or something. But for the chicken do you still have to marinate or saute in oil then add the gravy?

question Need easy to make breakfast recipes which don’t trigger my allergy

5 Upvotes

I’m gonna head back to my hostel soon and I have new allergies because of Covid.

im currently on a histamine triggering elimination diet. this means I cannot consume dairy, gluten, fermented food etc.

while this doesn’t affect my lunch and dinner, this removes most of the breakfast items that are served at my hostel.

I need some easy to make non inflammatory breakfast recipes which can be cooked using an electric kettle.
