- Break off the ends of the guar & pull off as much string as you can, then break or chop. Potatoes optional.
- mix with turmeric, chili, salt, hing to mustard seeds, high smoking pt oil
- Oven at 450F/230C ~30min, stirring every 10.
In general, any sukki bhaji, sookhi sabji from Indian cuisine can be made in an oven at about 450F/230C and using a high smoking point oil like peanut or grape seed.
Especially great for stuff like okra, guar, tondli (ivy gourd) that can release mucilage or water on the stove.

It is NOT common for a speakership to be this closely contested, because the House generally has a bigger margin no matter which party has the majority.
Remember that a "party whip" has no constitutional power in America like it does in India. You can vote against the whip.
In India, once you get elected to parliament on a party's ticket, you pretty much have to vote the way their "whip" says, or get expelled.
In America, there is no such rule. You can vote against your party a lot and still not get "expelled".
I hope Rishabh Pant's near escape leads to some serious awareness campaigns and policy changes about something all too common in India - impaired driving.
It is insane how high (or low) the bar for impaired driving is in India, with an undeniable "macho" element attached.
The number of folks I've seen driving when visibly drunk ("yaar I tell you I drive better when I'm drunk hahaha") or clearly sleep deprived ("just chai sutta every hour and a podcast and I'm good yaar") in India is crazy. And yet the tendency is towards pushing limits not caution
Pushing the limits of driving when knowingly impaired is hardly exceptional to India.
What is exceptional is how little stigma there is attached to it, how little awareness there is about it.
And how many bros will still boast about successful impaired driving.
Year 1 Cooking as a Car-less Desi Fob in Rural America, a π§΅
A young friend recently asked if I had any tips from my Penn State grad school days when I didn't have access to desi stores or whole foods type fancy stores or even online options.
And I thought of many!
Strap in!
My 1st year in the US, I had no car. I was in a tiny college town that had only 1 Desi grocery store with EXTREMELY mediocre inventory. Only supermarkets in walking or bus distance were Weiss or Walmart. Occasionally GIANT.
Basically white people grocery stores.
Contrary to what you might expect, I had NOT arrived with a suitcase full of grains and spices and a pressure cooker packed by my mom.
I was 26 then, been cooking since I was 11 or so, lived alone in Bombay before grad school, was already cocky about my cooking skills lol.
This is why Democrats are all "π€£πΏπ€" about #GeorgeSantos. With the GOP looking set to seat him, there's 2 years of this non stop grift, cos he will make his time count.
Trump GOP is a party of donor grifts. With the RNC running most donor grifts for Trump past 2 years.
It's obvious why the GOP is keeping #GeorgeSantos around for now. Speaker election is far from settled for McCarthy. They will seat him, he will vote, and then after a couple of weeks or months, he will resign, being "bought out" somehow. Perfectly legal landing spot.
If this dude was in some faraway district in flyover country, it was one thing.
But he's a short drive from where the most political journalists in the country work and he's such an easy dumpster fire fountain.
Don't view this in isolation. Cos $tsla offered an extra $4K discount to those who would take their deliveries this year. Deep discounts to customers, pressure on employees, cos he is trying to game quarterly numbers. And giving away the game, talking about the market lol.
The most bizarre thing about this Musk phenomenon is he does so many things that are transparently stupid or dishonest and it's obvious to anyone not caught up in his myth. And we call out as it's happening. But his myth is still strong. At the content pushers ignore it.
If you paid attention in the most entry level classes in business school or even high school, every misstep of Musk's is so obvious months before the media finally comes around to recognizing said misstep. And then they churn out content trying to still justify the missteps.
