Wow, is it a popular dish there in your region? Halva is pretty popular here in India, specially:

Suji Halva (made of wheat)

and Gajar Halva (Carrot)

Yes quite popular in Greece, I think more in the continent though and less in the islands but yes, overall popular! Good to see more varieties of this nice dish from India.
From which part of India you come from @Siddharth ?? I have been there only once but I know some things about that country as I've spent a few years in Dubai.

Just noticed, you have the name of the Buddha :)
 
Mumbai for 2 weeks and Goa for 4 days. I wanted to visit Varanasi too, not too far from your state but it didn't happen. Have you been there @Siddharth ?
Next in the wish list are Kashmir, Punjab and Rajasthan. And Rama's bridge.

I've been to Kashmir (Union Territory of Jammu, to be specific), Punjab and very recently to Rajasthan as well. Many places in Uttar Pradesh (Kanpur, Prayagraj, Lucknow) but havn't been to Varanasi. Its in my wish list as well!
 
I'm slowly discovering mushrooms for me. I've always enjoyed the taste but disliked the texture. Too soft and sometimes slimy. Cooked a dish earlier where the mushrooms were cut down to tiny pieces, cooked in a pan, added seasoning and a bit of water, and it became this delicious sauce. At that size you barely notice the original texture of them, so I'm quite happy with that.

I love eating mushrooms (we gather them in a groves or forests; it's alike to fishing in terms of recreation in my country) Baked on a pan along with onion and potatoes. Yummy. And I very much like that diverse texture. Some mushrooms are firm and crunchy, some are soft and slimy, like a snail or something. I like. No complaints from me.
 
When I was younger I hated mushrooms because of the texture; now I'd take a mushroom burger over one with meat sometimes.

Diesel, when, at some point in the future, you write an autobiography, please use this as title.
Or motto. Or something.
Just don't let it be buried among the 800 000+ MaidenFans posts.

I’ll work it into my novel, don’t worry.

Siddharth, do you by any chance know, or know of, people (elderly relatives for example) from your area playing chess by rules slightly different from the international ones, e.g. kings not opposite to each other, no castling but Ks allowed a Knight move, pawns promoting to file piece only etc.?
Sorry, I keep pestering people and using each and every opportunity because you never know, and time is running out.
 
^ Actually anyone from anywhere familiar with some traditional unorthodox rules, please let me know if you can be bothered. Many thanks.

LOL no. But hey we are totally into playing cards!

Now one would get a mental image that someone plays it for all the wrong reasons but no, we play it just as a 'sport' like Chess, Carrom or any other game. As it is and just for the joy of it :ok:
