I have a question about instant pots. I have been looking at them since before Christmas, trying to decide which one to buy. We are empty nesters, who do not like leftovers. We want one that is easy to use and clean that has rice and yogurt settings. Recommendations please?

A dose of curry powder does a nice job of adding interest to tuna salad.

I got a small jar of Priya brand Red Chilli pickle (yes, spelled with two L’s) as a gift and liked it so much I bought another jar. I need to branch out and try some of the other flavors.

Asian stores sell a similar product to papadum. They’re called shrimp crackers, and they’re made of ground shrimp and starch. Lol them in not oil, and boom! They puff into a crunchy snack.

I found this “chutney” on Amazon - it is a powder and has a roasted nutty, spicy flavor. Very tasty. Can be used on bread, toast or anything with butter.

I can't say Indian food is a favorite of mine. We went to an Indian restaurant (tricked into it, pretty much by vegetarian friends) for their buffet. We ended up ordering Tandoori chicken on the side for some protein. Just not a fan of some of the main spices they use (i.e., cloves, cardamom, turmeric or anise). I guess the closest I come to it would be using curry powder in a cold chicken salad with grapes and pecans. There are a few curries we like but we are wimps WRT heat. There was a British restaurant we frequented that served a good chicken curry but even the "mild" was a mite too spicy. Our friends would order extra hot! I guess you develop a taste for it.
