The Sweet and Tangy Delight of Metha Aampapad by MrMukhwas

Are you ready to embark on a mouthwatering journey through the world of Indian sweets and snacks? Today, we invite you to discover the delectable and delightful Metha Aampapad by MrMukhwas. This beloved treat is a testament to the rich and diverse culinary traditions of India, where flavors and textures are celebrated in every bite.

A Sweet Symphony of Flavors

Metha Aampapad, also known as Sweet Mango Leather, is a popular and cherished confection in India. It is made from ripe mango pulp, sugar, and an array of aromatic spices. What makes Metha Aampapad truly special is its ability to strike the perfect balance between sweet and tangy, a characteristic that has made it a beloved treat for generations.

The Making of Metha Aampapad

Creating Metha Aampapad is an art form that requires skill and patience. Here's a glimpse into the fascinating process:

Selection of Ripe Mangoes: The process begins with selecting ripe mangoes that are bursting with flavor and sweetness. These mangoes are washed, peeled, and the pulp is carefully extracted.

Cooking the Mango Pulp: The mango pulp is then cooked with sugar over low heat. This step is crucial in achieving the perfect sweetness and texture of the Aampapad.

A Versatile Treat

Metha Aampapad is incredibly versatile and can be enjoyed in various ways:

As a Snack: The bite-sized pieces are perfect for snacking. They offer a burst of sweet and tangy goodness that can satisfy your cravings at any time of the day.

Dessert: Metha Aampapad can also be incorporated into desserts. Try it as a topping for ice cream, yogurt, or even as a layer in your favorite cake.

heyyyyy i saw you just followed me (i can be tachigin anon hehe)

would you be willing to do hcs or drabbles of atsushi, dazai, kunikida, tachihara and nikolai with a fem desi/indian reader? like how would they interact with their s/o’s culuture, if/how they would celebrate festivals, and mayyybe even how they would react to seeing her in traditional clothing for the first time?

you can take out or add whoever you want!! hope ur doing well :3

-🍁🌸

★ Desi/indian fem!s/o

Characters: Atsushi Nakajima, Dazai Osamu, Tachihara Michizou, Kunikida Doppo, Nikolai Gogol

Format: headcanons, I'm trying to be as close to canon as possible

• « "I just saw you followed me" if you're the person I think you are my soul might ascend-

It's my first ask ever too ! So I'll try to do something good, had to do some research and I hope it matches your expectations, please correct me if I made any mistakes, Shall you be the first anon of my anon list? 🌷»

—🐸

Atsushi Nakajima:

NOW- listen my boy is a sweetheart, he doesn't know how he managed to have you absolute queen in his life so best believe he's gonna try to be worthy of you

He is very much worthy already but he won't believe it soooo

He'll try to do some research to impress you, learning about festivals and such

I feel like he'd try to learn the recipe of your favorite dish —listen at some point you probably cooked some chazuke for him and it's his way to repay you—

I feel like his favorite festival is Diwali [festival of lights] ???

Dazai —being a little shit— will probably give Atsushi some false misinformation about your culture for funsies tho, if he notices the weretiger's will to understand your traditions.

Tho please don't judge him too hard if he ever sputters nonsense, it is easy to stumble on misinformation on Google about cultures [Google almost ended me when I was studying japanese mythology. It sent me to a video game website. I'm still not forgiving.] Just grab his hands and sit him down and explain to him why he's wrong and correct him

As for you trying on any traditional outfit, whether it would be a Sari, an Anarkali, a Lehenga Choli or even a Salwar Kameez the reaction would be the same, he'd go bright red, losing his mind over so much beauty ! If you guys have been in a relationship for a while he'd shyly ask if he can match with you, now it depends on your reaction to that answer, and then he'll overthink it for days,

His thoughts: "it didn't sound disrespectful did it ?? Ugh why did I ask that?? Maybe she doesn't want to ?? I mean, I'm japanese- but it would be nice to dress the same and- UGHH SHUT UP NAKAJIMA- WHY DID EVER SPEAK?????"

Dazai Osamu:

I hate this man so much idk if I wanna punch or kiss him

So ummm, how did you manage to land a stable relationship without involving bribery that itself involves suicide? I'm curious

I'm sorry, I'm sorry-

He probably actually knows a thing or two about your culture, if he didn't he'd educate himself

And yet he would purposely make some stupid ignorant comments just to get a rise out of you

I hope you aren't sensitive, if you're with Dazai

This man is a menace to society, he makes you watch does horribly cliché movies with a smile, please punch him 🙏

It's all fun and games until you pull up with the traditional look, Dazai would suddenly go very quiet

He has that 👁️👁️ look

He isn't judging rn, however he doesn't really have any smart comment or joke for now, the only thing occupying his brain is how pretty you are

Kunikida Doppo:

You fucked up his ideals. That's all- that's the hc

Listen I BET in his ideals it went "In 4 years, will meet a beautiful japanese woman" poor naïf man, not even four months and here's this gorgeous indian royalty.

It will be hard to get this man to comprehend that he's falling for you, you have all my respect for actually managing to end up in a relationship with the most stubborn man in all of Yokohama ! ✌️

But once it's settled, he is a decent partner. . . PINKY PROMISE 🌷

The amount of research he does is insane, heck even Dazai would feel bad for sometimes messing it up. . .no actually he wouldn't

If you check out his ideal you may find dates of many festivals marked down on his calendar and planning, even those you may not actually celebrate [festivals vary by religion and location. . .he just marked them all to not miss any]

And if you check your closet you may find a new Assam in your favorite color

Wear it and you'll make him consider adding a "taking a break to admire my partner trying out new clothes" to his planning-

Tachihara Michizou:

I love him so much, it's not even funny anymore, he's a dork oh my stars-

If we are talking pm!Tachihara, he'll try to educate himself- really-

Mostly to impress you

But he does through media 😭

Which is a huge mistake when you look at some representation-

That mistake causes him to sputter absolute BS sometimes, he's lucky you love him

Hunting dogs! Tachihara is so tired, give my- oops I mean our- yeah give our man a break

Being a double agent may mean double salary but is it worth it ?

Please PLEASE let him rest his head on your thighs and you can rant to him about your culture, about festivals, traditions, anything !!

He likes the sound of your voice and he might surprise you with a gift for a festival

His reaction to you wearing traditional clothes? Dare I remind everyone of that one wan scene

"DAMN Gin you look really sharp in a suit-"

He isn't that different with you 😭🙏

Nikolai Gogol:

Ugh- I don't think he'd really care that much

His goal is freedom from any attachment, he doesn't care because to him nationality and cultures aren't that big of a deal

Like okay, your indian, good for you, he's Ukrainian/Russian

Tho if it's really important to you, y'all drop random funfacts about y'alls culture in the form of a game

Just imagine cuddling with your favorite jester but this time you're the one who purrs "Quizz time~"

He'll be more excited than you about wearing traditional clothes, for someone who doesn't care about cultures here he is trying to look for the best outfits for both of you-

I'M CURRENTLY SLEEP DEPRIVED [I'VE BEEN UP FOR 3 DAYS STRAIGHT AND I'M SLOWLY LOSING MY GRIP ON REALITY]

Some parts suck, some are meh, but I don't think I can even think anymore, so I hope it wasn't too shitty 😭🙏

Feel free to throw another ask, my ask box is emptier than my brother's brain-

—🐸

"This school needs better street food. Where’s the chaat stand?"

"NRC better pray they never anger a ghost—I've seen what happens."

Welcoming Indian!Yuu

First Impressions:

Mexican!Yuu: “You don’t flinch at spice? Finally, someone who understands me.” Brazilian!Yuu: “You like loud music, big celebrations, and good food? You’re gonna fit right in.” Aussie!Yuu: “Mate, I can tell you’ve got a competitive streak. Wanna bet on who can handle the most spice?” Sicilian!Yuu: “Strong family values, strong temper, and a lot of passion? We’re basically cousins.” Romanian!Yuu: “You also have deep, old folklore? Tell me everything.” Jamaican!Yuu: “I feel like you’re one of those people who could outdance everyone at a party.” Southern!Yuu: “Your hospitality is no joke. I feel like if I visit your home, I won’t leave without a feast.” Florida Man!Yuu: “Do you also have that one uncle who does illegal things but never gets caught?” Czech!Yuu: “You have superstition-based rules? I think we’ll have some fascinating talks.” Thai!Yuu: “I can already tell you have strong opinions about food and spice levels. Let’s discuss.” Vietnamese!Yuu: “You talk fast and make sharp comebacks? I like you already.” Pakistani!Yuu: “You understand the struggle of huge families, constant weddings, and nosy aunties. We have to talk.” Egyptian!Yuu: “You have some of the oldest myths and legends in the world. We should trade stories.” French!Yuu: “Your sweets are incredibly complex. I respect that.” Québécois!Yuu: “So, you know how to argue passionately about anything? We’re going to get along great.” Greek!Yuu: “You love mythology and philosophy? We’re gonna be best friends.” Irish!Yuu: “You have a huge drinking culture, but you don’t all drink? Interesting.” Scottish!Yuu: “I feel like you’re a ‘tell it like it is’ person. I respect that.” Italian!Yuu: “Food is serious business to you, huh? Good. I like people with standards.” Aboriginal!Yuu: “You have a culture that’s been around for thousands of years. That’s incredible.” Arab!Yuu: “You’re loud, passionate, and family-oriented? We are basically the same person.” Philippine!Yuu: “Wait, you also have huge extended families and crazy parties? We’re twins.” Myanmar!Yuu: “You also believe in karma and spiritual balance? We’re gonna vibe.” South Georgia!Yuu: “You mean to tell me you got spicier food than Cajun cooking? That’s impressive.” Singaporean!Yuu: “You know the struggle of aunties commenting on your life choices. We are comrades.”

How Indian!Yuu Fits In:

Instantly bonds with Pakistani!Yuu, Egyptian!Yuu, and Greek!Yuu over deep mythology and ancient civilizations.

Becomes besties with Mexican!Yuu, Thai!Yuu, and Vietnamese!Yuu. The spice squad is officially formed.

Brazilian!Yuu and Jamaican!Yuu drag them into every dance battle. Indian!Yuu doesn’t just hold their own—they dominate.

French!Yuu and Italian!Yuu are deeply impressed by their cuisine. “You mix so many spices, yet everything is perfectly balanced?”

Southern!Yuu and Sicilian!Yuu feel like Indian!Yuu’s hospitality is too powerful. “You made how much food just because I said I was a little hungry?!”

Florida Man!Yuu and Aussie!Yuu are dying to get them to break a rule. “You’re so responsible. Come on, just a little chaos?”

Québécois!Yuu, Irish!Yuu, and Scottish!Yuu challenge them to an argument. It lasts hours, and no one wins.

Czech!Yuu, Romanian!Yuu, and Myanmar!Yuu love their folklore and ghost stories. “Wait, your spirits also demand respect or they’ll ruin your life?”

Final Verdict:

Has the strongest spice tolerance. No one else comes close.

Speaks at least three languages. Can curse people out in multiple dialects.

Unintentionally becomes the ‘parent friend.’ Everyone comes to them for food, advice, and occasional emotional support.

Florida Man!Yuu is determined to unlock their chaos. It will take time… but it will happen.

One of the loudest Yuus. Whether they’re laughing, debating, or hyping people up, they bring energy.

Has an auntie network that knows everything. Nobody understands how they gather information so quickly.

skz x desi reader headcanons

A.N: highly unedited, it's just me yapping - also! if you have anything you want to add on, pls share! let's all be delulu together hehe

tagging: @ihrtlino (i'm sorry it took so long for me to write this :') <3)

Chan

Your parents would absolutely LOVE him, and would probably invite him to come over for Diwali - bonus: Chan in a kurta - actually, scratch that - any of the members in a kurta.

Would insist he can handle the spice of your mom’s curries but the extremely red tint on his ears and face says otherwise. He absolutely inhales the lassi. 

Would call you a name of endearment in your mother tongue - THERE WAS AN AUTHOR HERE AND I WILL TAG THEM @beebee18 PLS GO READ THIS FIC BECAUSE IT’S THIS VERY ONE THAT CAUSED MY WHOLE SKZ X DESI READER BRAIN ROT - to have Chan call you meri jaan UGH

Would try and learn your language and would probably grasp common phrases like “I’m hungry” or “I love you”. I can see him sneaking up on you when you’re out and about the house, sneaking up behind you and pressing a kiss to your shoulder “bukh lagi hain” (i’m hungry)

Would ask you to marry him in your mother tongue.

Would cry at your wedding when you’re doing the rounds around the fire and saying your vows.

Minho

Would learn bollywood style dancing like bollywood hip hop or something similar to impress you.

Lee Know singing a Bollywood ballad. That’s it. That’s the thought,

Lee Know is really good at learning languages and I feel like he would learn your mother tongue to speak with you or your family. You’re waiting for your mother to open the door when you take him to meet your parents, and you’re assuring him you’ll translate everything they say. Then, when the door opens he immediately greets your mother fluently. 

Would cook your favourite traditional dish when you’re feeling homesick. He would text your mom, asking for the recipe before putting together the craziest thali (a/n: I’ve been writing about food so much I’m craving all of this now).

Tries to decorate the house for Diwali but doesn’t quite get how to do the rangoli so he calls Hyunjin for help. Hyunjin walks into your house to see Lee Know with multi-colored rangoli powder smudged onto his face and all over his hands. You come back to the house to find Lee Know chasing Hyunjin with a handful of tissues

Puts coconut oil in your hair and braids it for you. Doesn’t even say anything about it. One day you’re just doing it and he pops into the bathroom, takes the oil from your hands and does it. Massages it into your scalp and braids your hair. Then he just washes his hands and leaves. He does it for you every time now. Gets mad the one time when you decide to do it on your own and he does that angry little sigh. Doesn’t speak to you until you cuddle him and promise you’ll let him do it from now on.

Changbin 

You can not convince me this man would not listen to rap music in your mother tongue. Would probably have a favourite rapper. I feel like generally speaking he would be very interested in Bollywood music as a genre and style of music. He would be inspired to maybe include some of those elements like the instrument style etc in his own music.

Would have your contact name saved as a name of endearment in your mother tongue.

Would dance with you at weddings or events.

Would secretly take classes in your mother tongue so he could speak with you. You’d find out one day when you come back home and he’s reciting a speech about how much he loves you.

You introduce him to biryani for the first time and it’s officially his favourite thing. Catch him eating biryani in the dressing rooms in SKZ-Talker

Hyunjin

Would learn how to do mehendi just so he could do yours. I can see him making really beautiful designs of flowers in great detail.

If you know any kind of classical bollywood dances I feel like he would really want to learn the basics so he could dance with you.Bonus: When you get your mehendi done for your wedding, he would probably tear up when he finds his initials in the designs.

Would love watching the romantic bollywood movies - would probably cry WATERFALLS and deny it - but later he posts a painting of a scene from the movie on his instagram. Would slow dance to the romantic songs with you.

Would paint or photograph you in traditional clothing

Would buy you pretty jhumkas and bangles at the market. You find out later that they absolutely ripped him off his money for those bangles but it’s okay because he loves you. That man would be so in love with you he probably build a whole palace in your name. 

Han 

Would learn an Arjit Singh song for you on the guitar (a/n: just had a thought about this - is arjit singh like the hozier of bollywood??). Would send full covers to you first, before posting a small snippet of it onto Instagram. He might upload a voice message of him singing it on Bubble for Stays but you know it’s all for you.

Would watch bollywood shows and movies with you - probably (definitely) bawls his eyes out when you watch Kuch Kuch Hota Hai or KKKG.

Gets heavily invested in any kind of Bollywood tea, his jaw drops and gasps out loud when his favorite celebrity couple breaks up “they broke up?!”

Randomly blurts out dialogues from famous desi movies

Felix 

Judging by the amount of chicken this man eats on mukbang lives (r.i.p bbokari’s cousins), he would LOVE butter chicken and naan. You can’t convince me otherwise because I know I’m right.

Would learn how to bake a traditional sweet and surprise you with it / nearly burns down the kitchen in the process and decides to just order a box of your favourite sweets. I get the feeling Felix would absolutely LOVE Indian sweets like gulab jamun or jalebi or ladoo. 

Would 100000% learn your mother tongue.

Would want to do his mehendi with you too - matching designs!!!

Holi! I can see Felix as someone who would really enjoy Holi. He would probably get really sneaky with it and innocently approach you before projectile launching a handful of a mix of colours at you (but that’s only payback because you did the same earlier).

Would surprise you with a trip to your home country when you’re feeling a little homesick.

Seungmin 

This man would absolutely learn a ballad or a romantic song for you, would probably learn many just to sing to you - he would most definitely not tell you he’s learning any of these songs until one karaoke night he just pulls out the mic and starts belting it out.

Would pretend to act uninterested when you start watching a desi show or movie (does the uninterested dad pose standing in the living room with his hands on his hips before gradually moving to sit down) but then he ends up being the one to start crying or to start yelling at the television screen. Gets upset when you keep getting advertisement breaks on the screen, is absolutely torn apart when he realises he needs to wait a whole week to find out what happens.

Would learn how to say i love you in your language. I feel like Seungmin is quite soft spoken in the way he expresses love, but he does it strongly. You’d be sitting on the couch together watching a Bollywood series and one of the character’s confesses to the other and he turns to you to do the same.

When you don’t mention important dates of celebrations and festivals, he surprises you by bringing it up first. Probably surprises you with a box of sweets. “What are these for?” “It’s Diwali today isn’t it?!”

Jeongin 

I feel like, as someone who sings Trot, Jeongin would really love singing classic Bollywood songs.

Would also get very invested in the shows and movies you watch. This man would not move a muscle from start to finish. Imagine if he watched Bahubali back when it released and at the end of the first movie he’s dying to know what happens and you have to break it to him that he's going to have to wait years until the next movie comes out.

I feel like he’d be really into the Bollywood action/superhero movies like he would really enjoy the Dhoom movie series or Don or Krrish. You’d catch him humming one of the songs from the movies or imitating SRK’s iconic lines from the movie. 

He would really love your traditional food and would go out of his way to find authentic restaurants making this food to take you out on a date there - and then you’d have to talk him through the whole menu and what each dish has.

[pastara-cell]

God this blog may just turn into a tmf blog for a bit- Sorry hermitblr/trafficblr peeps

Just listing some basic drew headcanons here because I feel like I see the same ones over and over again so I’d like to combat that 🤺🤺/lh ofc, I love all headcanons

>Drew is Bengali, His great grandparents came to the uk from Kolkata (Whether it be from partition stuff or not) And since then, his family blood has still been entirely from west bengal

>Drew isn’t necessarily religious, however, He enjoys Hindu religious holidays (Like Diwali and Holi) and Pujas and He especially loves the food. His parents (who are Hindu) are fine with him being non religious, But do wish for him to participate in events just to spend time with him, which he doesn’t mind at all

>Adding onto that, he doesn’t eat beef or pork. Not for religious reasons, but because he just wasn’t raised on them and doesn’t enjoy the taste or texture.

>His parents love him, but are absent quite a lot due to work and business meetings. The only times he’ll see them for more than a months on end is during the winter months, mainly because thats holiday season. Other than that, 2 weeks at home, 2 weeks on a business trip, repeat

>His parents try to show their affection to him via gifts and food, because its really all they can send over while they’re away. Because of this, drew developed Gift giving and cooking food for people love languages

>this man can COOK. I know I said its one of his love languages, so you’d assume so, but oh my LORD this man can cook. Its half the reason henry and liam come over so often! He best at more traditional bengali food (although he hates doing it), but he can make pretty much anything if you give him a heads up, the ingredients, and enough time to tinker around with the recipe!

>His hair is actually wavy/loose curls, but he hates having curly hair, so he either straightens it so it doesn’t poof up, or uses a bit of hairspray. The only people who really know his hair is curly is the jomies (including jake, lia, and zoey) because they’ve slept over at his house, and have probably seen him when his hair was wet and curly again.

>He’s 15 feet into a glass closet. My sexuality head-canons for him change a lot, but I’ve sort of settled on omni/ace for now. However, For the most part, I think if he were to come out, he’d just be queer. I dont think he’d care for labels too much

>Obvious attachment issues, slight separation anxiety, although, I can see it being more leaning towards henry and liam than jake for that. He might have had an obsession with jake, but I think it’d have hurt more if henry and liam left him, considering they had been there the longest.

>He loves zoey, even still. He really does. He’s terrible at showing it, but he does his best.

>Zoey, knowing his love language is gift giving, and he’s rich, befriended him in late middle school/early high school, and they started dating seconds year odd high school. Drew definitely was the one who confessed after being hyped up about it by henry and liam and jake. Zoey definitely wasn’t planning on dating him, but shrugged it off as being able to get him to do more stuff. She eventually did develop feelings for him, but she was too far into the mess she had created to stop, so she kept pushing

>He has such an rbf guys, like, he would be thinking about the happiest thing ever and his face would be just this 1000 yard stare

>He definitely drinks energy drinks guys, probably monsters but I can see him bringing an alani to school because he knows he’s gonna get called emo if he brings a monster to school

>He is called emo quite a bit at school, although he isn’t. It doesn’t bother him much anymore.

>He loves cats and really really wants one, but he’s severely allergic. Like, your throat closes and you die unless you get to the ER or have an epipen level allergic.

>He has Two bearded dragons (Each around 18 inches long, a boy and a girl) named Jevin and Pearl, his two favourite hermits

>he watches hermitcraft. Probably the life series and Empires and Outsiders and Life steal and all that stuff too, but He watches hermitcraft RELIGIOUSLY (He’s watched every episode that Jevin, Pearl, Grian, and Xisuma have put out, and he’s working on Mumbo’s pov right now)

>His favourite broadway musicals are Heathers and Six. Mean girls is up there too, but those are his favorites

>He didn’t cry during the titanic because it was sad, but because he watched it with zoey and she was crying, which made him cry

>i’m not gonna diagnose him with anything necessarily because i’m in no way qualified for that, but he definitely has mood swings and his opinions change a lot depending on who else he finds has them. He can go from hating something for years to immediately liking it if Liam says its good, or go from liking something to hating it if Hailey likes it.

>He listens to music, heck, one of his main designs are airpods- So, I think that he definitely listens to electronic stuff, scenecore type shit (Asteria, Barely human, Odetari, Clover!, and allat jazz) Not because its his favourite, but because Liam and henry both listen to it, so drew likes it.

>He really cares about his friends, but is really shit at showing it.

>He’s not good at communication, and is not often sure how to communicate what he wants or what he needs without sounding blunt or rude. He often rehearses how talks will go.

>This mf does not regret bullying that music club guys- I love him but i’m not even gonna attempt to justify him bullying them because I feel like it takes away from his character a lot

>He hates Hailey and Zander, Mainly because he finds them annoying and freaky.

>He’s only bullied luke because of his connection to zander and the music club, he doesn’t really mind luke as a person

>Milly Is his second cousin, they really only have their families meet up on holidays, so they never grew up close. Drew and Milly dont view eachother as family, so they dont care about bullying eachother/doing stuff to eachother’s friends. Drew and Milly do both occasionally pull the “I’m going to tell Thamma (grandma)!”, which does admittedly stop the other from doing whatever they were going to do.

>Drew has picked on pretty much all the club members, except for sean. Whether this be because Sean is taller than him, older than him, Or because they simply just have never really talked, drew mostly leaves him alone. He forgets sean is there most of the time

>Insecure as shit, do I even need to say it lol?

I have a lot more, but these are my main headcanons. Ofc, I fluctuate a lot with them, I’m like a multishipper but instead of shipping its with headcanons.

What Is Mithai? A Tradition of Sweetness

Mithai is more than just dessert — it’s part of India’s cultural fabric. From religious festivals to family celebrations, sweets play a central role in Indian life. Each region of India has its own signature desserts, but what unites them is the love, warmth, and tradition they carry with every bite.

Our Most Loved Indian Sweets at Tasty Tadka

1. Rasmalai — The Creamy Classic

One of the most luxurious Indian desserts, Rasmalai is a must-try. Soft, spongy cheese patties (known as chenna) are soaked in a lightly sweetened, cardamom-infused milk and garnished with crushed pistachios. Served chilled, Rasmalai is refreshing and rich without being overly heavy — perfect for warm days in Campbelltown.

3. Gajrela (Carrot Halwa) — A Seasonal Favorite

Made from slow-cooked grated carrots simmered in milk, ghee, and sugar, Gajrela (also known as Gajar ka Halwa) is a winter classic that’s equally loved year-round.
