Black Peppercorn Beef Stew

Think of this dish as a tribute to the undervalued but frequently used spice, black peppercorn. The beef is marinated in yogurt, ginger, garlic, and freshly ground pepper before being seared all over to create a deep, rich flavor for the stew. After that, the liquid is reduced to a thick, rich sauce and the vegetables are cooked until soft. This stew, which takes its cues from Indian cooking, is cooked with garam masala powder, which harnesses the potency of spices like cumin, bay leaves, cloves, and cinnamon to produce a flavorful, complex dish. Add the red bell peppers and zucchini last for a colorful finish. Accompany with warm rice.

Do you remember komolika from kasuatii zindagi ki? You know how she had her own “theme song” playing every time she entered a scene?

Now I’m imagining that ~komonikaa~ playing everytime vegas walks into the frame.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yes!! Omg!!

I gotta be honest I don't watch TV a lot (and we must be in school where this aired and my parents were very against watching TV on school nights) but this even i know of

And it would suit khun waegath SO MUCH.... there'll be a constant wind whenever he enters the frame and his velvet shirts would SHINE (woh sitare wali chamak 🙈🤣)

And ofc there should three shots of him: one from left to right, then from right to left, then from bottom to top

Omg someone should make that edit.... dramatic ass music in the background and these cheesy ppt effects

Indian Cauliflower - Indian This not only looks amazing but also tastes amazing. Before being baked whole in the oven, the cauliflower is first brushed with oil and turmeric. When the golden cauliflower comes out of the oven, a quick curry sauce is prepared and poured over it.

Please think about why you don’t consider BAME British people or immigrants to be ‘really’ British, and why I might have included those food cultures on purpose.

Hey, I didn't mean to imply that they're not British. I am Indian myself, and I always believed that that the food had Indian roots, not European roots. The whole "thin ice" comment was mainly a joke based on my surprise, but I'm sorry if it offended anyone.

You seem like a good sort of person to ask; how does one go about building up a good spice rack? Not only just having the spices, but knowing what they are and how to use them, when and in what quantities, and developing a wider spice palette in general? I grew up in white suburbia and my mother has no idea how to use anything other than salt and ground black pepper, and I want to start making my foods more flavorful. I am tired of utterly flavorless dry roast pork! But I have no idea where to begin lol.

I'd say to start by trying a lot of foods that use a lot of different spice profiles and seeing what you like. If you like Thai food, look into Thai spices and try cooking a few recipes. If you like Indian food, try Indian recipes. If you don't know if you like a particular kind of food, go out and try it and see if you do.

I think the best way to build up your spice rack is to do so slowly over time as you familiarize yourself with different flavors. Don't go out and buy a ton of stuff, go out and buy cumin and make a rice recipe that calls for cumin and see if you like it, then next time maybe add another spice like cayenne pepper to the recipe and see if you like it.

Spices can be really expensive, but they can also be really cheap if you're looking in the right places. Try to avoid the shiny organic spice jars, and see if there are packets of spices in the various "ethnic" food sections of your grocery store (in California it's pretty common to have a Mexican food section and an Asian food section in the store and you'll often find stuff like a packet of cumin for 70 cents that's got the same amount of spice as the organic jar that costs five bucks in the spice aisle).

Once you've got some basics down, start branching out and seeing if you've got any good markets nearby that have more unusual spices. Large Bastard and I get most of our bulk spices from a Middle Eastern market around the corner from our house or at an Indian market a few miles away because it's WAY cheaper to get allspice or turmeric or garam masala from those stores than it would be from the grocery store.

And if you're starting at the basic-basics, like how to season a simple pork roast, check recipe blogs. Find different bloggers and test their recipes until you find someone you trust, then follow their recipes. One good place to start is with Chef John and Food Wishes - he has a wide variety of cuisines that use a lot of different spices and has recipes that range from very simple to very complex.

Large Bastard really likes Food Wishes and trying recipes from Chef John - he cooks less than I do and has less of a sense of what to add to a pot to get something to taste the way he wants it to, but he's gotten very good at taking Food Wishes recipes and tweaking them or adjusting them and figuring out how to mix and match flavors.

Just cooking - finding a recipe that looks interesting and following it - is a really good way to get better at this kind of thing.

That's actually one of the reasons that I think meal kit boxes like blue apron can be worth it for people who want to learn how to cook - they give you recipes you wouldn't have thought to look for and provide small amounts of the required ingredients so you can sample them and figure out if you like them. My dad and sister got blue apron for like two years and it has significantly improved their cooking skills and ability to mix and match flavors.

It just takes time and money and trial and error. Easy, right? (It isn't, but there's also no way to make it faster other than doing more experiments. Thankfully there are ways to make it cheaper, and yeah looking at local specialty markets is a good way to save on spices)
