Bong
Burray Pai

- 3 Roasted baray pai (cow's trotters)
- 2 kg. bone with marrow
- 4 kg. bong (shank)
Ingredients For Stock
- 3 medium onions, skinned and roughly chop
- 3 garlic bulbs, skinned and ground
- 2 inch piece ginger peeled and ground
- 1 inch cinnamon stick
- 12 cloves
- 1 tbsp. whole black pepper
- 6 black cardamoms
- 4 liter water
Ingredients For Gravy
- 4 onions skinned and thinly sliced
- 3 tbsp. ground garlic
- 2 tbsp. ground ginger
- 2 tbsp. coriander powder
- 2tbsp. chili powder
- 2 tbsp. garam masala
- 1\2 tsp. turmeric powder
- 2 cups oil 
 

1. If roasted pias are not available. Roast them over open gas flame. There is a bunch of hair between the hooves. With a sharp knife make a long cut between the hoff and carefully remove hair.

2. Wash the pai thoroughly under running tap and scratch any burnt part with a sharp knife.

3. Place pai and all the ingredients for stock in a large heavy based sauce pan. Bring to boil, reduce the heat, cover and allow to boil gently for about 3-4 hours until the meat is almost tender. (The process can be speeded up in a pressure cooker. Use half the quantity of water. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for timing. note: It will take at least 1 1\2 hours in a pressure cooker.)

4. Meanwhile prepare the gravy. Heat oil in a large heavy based pan and add sliced onions. String frequently fry for 5-8 minutes until the onions are transparent and soft but not brown. Add the garlic and ginger paste and continue frying for another few minutes. Add a little stock to prevent the mixture from sticking to the bottom. Add the turmeric, chili powder, coriander powder, garam masala and salt. Stir fry for another few minutes. Add a little more stock if the mixture sticks to the bottom of the pan. 

5. Remove pais from the stock and add to the gravy. Add 1\2 cup stock and stirring frequently fry for 10 -12 minutes. Add little more stock to prevent the mixture from sticking. Turn off the fire, carefully remove the pai from the gravy, and put them back in the stock. Place it over medium flame and bring to boil, reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook until the pai are very tender and soft and about 8-10 cups of soup is left.

6. Reheat the gravy, add meat to it and stirring frequently fry for 12-15 until the meat is well browned. Add little water if while frying meat stick to the bottom of the pan.   Add 4 cups of  water to  the meat, cover and cook over low heat (stirring occasionally) until the meat is tender and oil begins to separate from the gravy. Turn off the fire.

7. When the pais are very tender and soft, add beef mixture to it. Carefully stir once and cook for another 5 minutes. Don't over stir otherwise the meat pieces will break. Serve hot with Nan  or boiled rice.

Passive smoking a 'global threat', WHO warns
A man smokes in an Istanbul shopping mall on 16 May

Almost 95% of the world's population is not protected by laws banning smoking, the World Heath Organisation says.

In its second major report on the "tobacco epidemic", the UN agency said second-hand or passive smoking killed nearly 600,000 people each year.

The WHO said seven new countries passed comprehensive smoke-free laws in 2008, taking the world total to a mere 17.

It warned that tobacco is still the leading preventable cause of death, killing five million people every year.

"Unless urgent action is taken to control the tobacco epidemic, the annual death toll could rise to eight million by 2030," the WHO report said.

In 2008, an additional 154 million people were newly covered by smoke-free laws enacted in seven countries - Colombia, Djibouti, Guatemala, Mauritius, Panama, Turkey and Zambia.

But that still meant only 5.4% of the world's people were protected, the report said.

The agency urged governments to implement the 2005 WHO framework convention on tobacco control, which 170 nations have signed.

The convention urges countries to adopt measures to prevent smoking - by offering people help to quit, enforcing bans on tobacco advertising and raising tobacco taxes - and to protect non-smokers from tobacco smoke.

Dear CP Team, I am glad that you and CP newsletter is back. No doubt you have been doing an excellent job for the Pakistani Community since 97. I am your regular reader and have benefited a lot from your counsels and guidance in so many fields.
You know now a days our beloved country Pakistan under the terrorists attacks. Similarly what is going in Baluchistan, Swat and Fata and Pata. This is not the war which could only be fought by our army. We must support them and do what ever we could do in this regard. The basic thing in my mind is to educate the people to give them correct thinking about Islam. What is being done on the name of Islam is nothing but an Indian Jewish lobby conspiracy against Pakistan. I would request you to think over it and start some program in the Cp issues on this topic and let us get together and help our country get out of this dangerous game. My best regard to all Cp Team Mohammad Amin Khan

Dear Bhai, We thank you and all other members who sent us welcome back mails. We are glad to be of help to you and all other members who have always benefited from our virtual services including legal, health, students counseling and our regular alerts and newsletter. It is unfortunate that we are engaged in this war against terror but call of the time is to support our security forces who are on the war front as well as those security personnel who are resisting, saving lives of the citizens of Pakistan by giving away their lives in the cities. We are proud of all these patriots and stand next to them in saving our country from these barbaric criminals. These criminals cannot be Muslim as they are indiscriminately killing children, women and innocent citizens even in Mosques. We must wipe them out of our land and for this we all have to be united and supportive to our forces who are saving so many lives.
We would love to accept and publish views of our community concerning the war against terror. But note we are not into political gains for anyone, we would only publish write ups that would help our country and boost morale of our forces. May Allah SWT bless and protect our country and its people.

CP Team,
Well one! I am really impressed to see the State Bank of Pakistan circular on your side and distributed to CP member.

 Faith In Yourself   
Assalam-O-Alaikum!
Folks, hope you all are enjoying the pleasant mild winters.
Sometimes in our life, we find ourselves caught in a quagmire of difficulties. We feel distressed and wonder what we did to be put in such a condition. But it is often these tough times, when man struggles to find his way out and comes to know of many of his hidden talents that he himself was oblivious to.
When we read the autobiographies of successful people, we come to see that it was trust in their inner self that kept them going through all challenges. Having faith in yourself means the ability to recognize the value of your talents, your worth and your contribution to the rest of the world.
It is important to have confidence in yourself because if you don't believe in yourself, then it will be impossible to truly believe in anything else that you cannot see, touch, feel or physically behold.
Remember the story of the young seagull that didn’t have faith in it and hence would not try to flap its wings till its family left it alone. Nearing to death due to starvation, the gull found itself in a situation where it had no other choice, but to try to fly. And as soon as it let itself fall in air and flap its wings, it discovered its talent of flying.
I too went through a somewhat similar experience. I was taught driving after I was 18 years old. I passed my driving test and got a license too. But I feared driving alone. One day, the driver didn’t turn up and I had a very important exam in university. Missing it would have meant repeating the whole semester. There was no one at home who could drop me. I had to muster the courage to drive the car, alone, on my own to the university. Though I cursed the driver for not turning up in time, but after this venture, I got the required confidence to manage driving on my own.
Endurance, perseverance, and most importantly trust in oneself are the key to the success of most of the well known achievers.
Allah is our Creator. He has promised that He will not put undue burden on any one. He never puts any one in a situation from which that person is unequipped to rise out. We only know what we have on us, but our Creator knows what is in us. We only see the weight and burden we carry but He knows of our strengths.  Our Lord has more FAITH in us than we do in ourselves. He has best plans for us- the ones that are for good and not for disaster. So keep your faith. You can do it!
Wa-alikum-us- salam
