South Indian Mexican fusion

That’s an interesting combo! The two cuisines do share some similarities, so I can picture some really interesting dishes. I wonder if they have something like a Dosa-Quesedilla or a Dosa-Burrito, or Nachos with a South-Indian curry toppings…

If there’s an Indian/Asian store where you live, they should generally have everything you’d need. The spices are generally divided in to whole spices and ground spices.

• For whole spices, commonly used ones are bay leaves, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, star anise, saffron, mace, and peppers (dried red chillies and black peppercorns).
• For ground spices, most common ones are turmeric, chilli powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, asafoetida powder, garam masala and curry powder.
• There are also some key seeds and lentils, such as mustard seeds, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, fennel seeds, urad dal
• Finally, there are fresh ingredients like curry leaves and coriander leaves, and of course, the usual ones such as ginger/garlic/onions/tomatoes, which you should already have in your pantry/fridge.

With the above in your pantry, you can cook a vast majority of the dishes, at least, as far as spices are concerned.

As for figuring out how they work together, if you follow a few recipes you’ll notice common patterns, so once you’ve got a few dishes under you belt you’d start to recognize which ones you’d need. Easiest way to figure out how they work is to repeat a dish you’ve made and exclude a particular spice, or say doubling the quantity of a particular spice so that it dominates. With so many permutations and combinations possible, you could prepare a dish differently each time and keep things interesting, it’s so much fun playing around with this stuff!

It’s actually pretty easy to make most Indian dishes at home. I’d recommend checking out Hebbar’s Kitchen on YouTube - my Indian mate swears their recipes are authentic - and best of all, no annoying intros/voiceovers/like-and-subscribe nonsense etc.

Someone here managed to get it working by clearing Sync’s cache, so maybe try that?

I’m thinking it could be more as an alternative to picture-microblogs, like Pinterest or Tumblr.

Indeed, I read a lot. :) But in addition to manga, I also read a lot of manhua/manhwa, which take up a lot more bandwidth than manga since they’re colored.

Not that far off from mine! Interestingly, my Sync used almost as much as Meet (which I use daily for video calls).

I suspect it’s mainly multimedia data, like high-res images. Maybe Lemmy serves higher-res images compared to Reddit? I also recall seeing some discussion somewhere were Lemmy instance admins were turning off server-side image/thumbnail caching, so as a result you could be directly pulling the high-res images by simply scroll thru your feed? This is just a guess though.

Nice presentation! Never thought of placing rice like that in the center of a bowl.

Are those fresh jalapeños?
