eli5: Can someone explain the reason why, when writing with a pen and it chokes up and doesn’t write, it still won’t write when you go over the same line again even though it will write just fine off to the margin?

ELI5 How Indian restaurants are able to serve curries with such tender meats in such a short amount of time?

I would understand if say each curry only had one meat option. For example a big thing of lamb vindaloo could begin cooking earlier that day and they can dish it out all evening. But at the restaurant I was at today there were multiple different curries each with the option of lamb, chicken, or beef. How is it that they can have any of these ready within 20 min, with such tender meat?
