That's why in Canada, Sikh families  have two kitchens.  One is the show kitchen and another kitchen for tharka. 

In the US,Sikh families use their garages.

Don't know what percent of Subcontinentals are renters in the U.K. (or anywhere for that matter), but denying such s huge percentage of people for business isn't a smart business strategy; (unless you got some other assets backing your business). Something to note is fresh-of-the-boat Subcontinentals do act like this but much worse to a standard Diaspora-born Subcontinentals wouldn't even expect of behaving. (I'm using "Subcontinentals" because there's no one India or Pakistan or Bangladesh; they are all diverse regions that practically can not be compared to each other or even their own individual regions).

Act like what? Prepare tarka on the carpet? Rub the tarka into the carpet on purpose to make sure it smells?

No decent urban Punjabi family (living in Punjab) has a kitchen without either a window-mounted exhaust fan or a chimney/hood from various Indian or international companies like Elica or Faber. Rural-style kitchens are all totally open, so there's no smell accumulation. 

So, what are you talking about?

When they come to the west everything changes; a huge percentage of Keshdharis from Punjab cut their Kesh as soon as they land in their respected New homes for complaints about jobs. (This doesn't happen among Non-Jaats though such as Khatris and Ramgharias).

I have to laugh at this. 

 

What's next? the return of: P@ki, bud-bud ding ding jokes. lol Ohhh deary deary me! A thousand apologies! 

I know right ? How did this actually became a story  one landlord says something stupid , he's entitled to select who he/she wants to rent to especially if it's a furnished gaff  just like I would never rent to smokers and unclean people.

I kind of agree with the sentiment, but if he expressed it in a disparaging way he's an 1di0t. I know a couple of people who rent out properties, and they're dead set against people with cats and dogs due to the smell and the hair. There's even one guy who, lmao, tells the estate agent not to rent to Pakistani families, because apparently they turn the place it a 5hithole after a few weeks. If you've spent cash repairing and furnishing a home for it to be trashed in weeks, then it's obviously going to hurt.

But with the curry smell, even i cant stand it. Love the food; i eat nothing but daala and sabjiya, but i ensure the smell does not waft through my home, get into my clothes, etc. That stuff is extracted out, lol! I just think because this is coming from a wealthy gora, people are getting upset. All of us Punjabis born and bred in the West think the exact same thing behind closed doors. We don't wallow in the pungent aroma of tadkha and pretend it's awesome. At least i don't. This is another example of liberal, right-on goreh getting offended on our behalf, and blowing the issue out of all proportion.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
