Dahi
Boondi (phulki)
Tiny Gram Flour Fritters
In
Yogurt
Sauce |
Boondi:
-
3\4 cup basin (gram)
- 1-2 level tsp. bicarbonate of soda
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1\2 tsp. chili powder
- 1 cup water
- oil for frying
For Assembly:
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 2 medium tomatoes, seeded and cut into small cubes
- 3 green chili, roughly chopped
- 2-3 medium sized boiled potatoes, cut into small cubes
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. red chili
- 1 tsp.
garam masala
For Yogurt Sauce:
- 500 g.
plain yogurt
- 1\2 tsp. salt
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
Boondi:
1. Sift the
basin, bbicarbonate of soda, chili
powder and salt into a
bowl. Make a slight well in the centre,
add 1\2 cup of water and beat well with a wooden spoon or
electric beater. Add enough water a little at a time to make
a batter the consistency of thick cream. (The batter should
be thinner than pakora batter.) The mixing should be done as
quickly and lightly as possible. Leave to rest for 15
minutes.
2. Heat oil in a karahi or
deep fryer. Test the
temperature by dropping a small
amount of batter into the
hot oil. It should rise to the top at once.
3. Pour batter in polythene
bag and hold it like a piping bag, make about 3mm hole at
the base. Pipe boondi into hot oil.
Alternatively hold a perforated spoon
over the hot oil. Pour the mixture
little by little on the perforated
spoon to make boondi.
Fry to a golden colour, turning once or twice. Remove with a
slotted spoon, drain on absorbent kitchen paper and then
soak the boondi in plenty of warm water for few minutes.
Press the boondi between
the palms carefully to squeeze out the water.
Assembly:
4. Place the boondi, potatoes, tomatoes,
green chilies and onions in a glass serving dish, Sprinkle
salt, chili powder and garam masala over the boondi mixture
and mix gently to coat the spices.
5. Whisk yogurt with 1\4 cup water,
salt and garlic to make a smooth paste
and pour evenly into the boondi mixture and stir gently.
6. Garnish with
Chat Masala
and
Sweet Imli Chutney
You can water
your plants while you are away by placing one end of string
in a bucket of water and the other in the plant’s soil. As
long as the bucket is positioned higher than the plant, the
string will soak up the water and keep the soil moist.

HUBBLE
SPACE
TELESCOPE
 |
The
Hubble
Space Telescope
got back to business this summer
after an intensive repair and
upgrade mission in May by a crew
aboard the space shuttle. This
week, an
exultant
NASA praised
the work done by the
astronauts--"Bottom line, these
professionals left Hubble as a
new state-of-the-art telescope,"
said Ed Weiler, the agency's
associate administrator for
space science--and released a
series of photos that offer
fresh and spectacular glimpses
of the interstellar realm.
This image, taken by the new
Wide Field Camera 3, shows the
Butterfly Nebula (or Bug Nebula,
cataloged as NGC 6302), at the
center of which is a dying star
that once had five times the
mass of Earth's sun. The wings
of this butterfly are actually
gas heated to 36,000 degrees
Fahrenheit and traveling faster
than 600,000 miles per hour,
NASA says. The nebula is some
3,800 light-years away in the
constellation Scorpius, within
the Milky Way galaxy. The outer
edges of the butterfly wings
arise from light emitted by
nitrogen, while the white areas
show light emitted by sulfur.

Low
self-esteem leads to obesity
Women's weight is more affected by their emotions study says
|
Children with
self-esteem problems are more likely to
be obese as adults, a research team has
found.
A study of 6,500
participants in the 1970 British Birth
Cohort Study found that 10-year-olds
with lower self esteem tended to be
fatter as adults.
The effect was particularly true for
girls, researchers from King's College
London reported.
One obesity expert said the results
highlighted that early intervention was
key to tackling obesity.
The children had their weight and height
measured by a nurse at the age of 10 and
they self-reported when they were 30.
Their emotional states were also noted,
the researchers reported in the journal
BMC Medicine.
Children with a lower self-esteem, those
who felt less in control of their lives,
and those who worried often were more
likely to gain weight over the next 20
years, the results showed.
Professor David Collier, who led the
research, said: "What's novel about this
study is that obesity has been regarded
as a medical metabolic disorder - what
we've found is that emotional problems
are a risk factor for obesity.
"This is not about people with deep
psychological problems, all the anxiety
and low self-esteem were within the
normal range."
Strategies
Another researcher, Andrew Ternouth,
said: "While we cannot say that
childhood emotional problems cause
obesity in later life, we can certainly
say they play a role, along with factors
such as parental weight, diet and
exercise.
"Strategies to promote the social and
emotional aspects of learning, including
the promotion of self-esteem, are
central to a number of recent policy
initiatives.
"Our findings suggest that approaches of
this kind may carry positive benefits
for physical health as well as for other
aspects of children's development."
Dr Ian Campbell, of the charity, Weight
Concern, said: "This study presents some
disturbing evidence that, as we
suspected, childhood psychological
issues have an influence on future
weight gain and health.
"Many of the adults we work with have
identifiable underlying emotional and
self esteem issues and are often
resistant to treatment.
"The message here is that early
intervention, in childhood, can be the
key to combating adult obesity.
"That requires much more than health
practitioners can deliver alone and
needs greater alertness from parents,
teachers, and anyone involved in the
welfare of children."

Some
Worth Gifts
Assalam-O-Alaikum
Folks, hope all of you are in good shape and making most of
the holy month of Ramadan
It is often mistakenly believed that we need money to give
gifts to others and that only rich can do good deeds in
terms of service to humanity. Giving gifts is in no way
bonded to money. Performing good deeds is one the easiest
way to please others. While helping some needy with money is
one way, there are many other activities that one can do to
please others.
One of the easiest to give and always readily available
present is the gift of “affection”. A broad smile can
brighten other’s day. It is said “smile is contagious”…your
smile will make the other person happy and in his happiness
he will smile to someone else and so on. That’s why it is
said you smile… and the world smiles with you. By
just a simple exercise of your mouth’s muscle you lighten up
day for so many.
Appropriate hugs, kisses, pats on the back, handholds are
just some of the expressions of feeling of warmth and care.
Just by these effortless actions we can show the love we
have for our dear ones. Then there are many people who need
someone to listen to them. You can give such people the gift
of listening. Listen to their pains, their experience
or just anything that they want to pour out. Another great
gift is the gift of laughter. If you are among the
lucky ones who have a good sense of humor, then you can use
it to ease others’ tensions. Or even if you don’t have, then
share funny tales, jokes with your friends to show that you
love to laugh with them. Another way to make someone's day
is by giving them nice compliments. Don’t be stingy in
praising others but just be realistic. Because it shows when
it is really meant and when it is just pure flattery. They
can be simple compliments like, “This color suits you really
good”, “you cooked a wonderful meal”, “you did the job so
well”. Another way to please others is by doing them small
favors like helping elderly cross the road, holding the door
for the elder to pass through, carry other’s load, polish
dad’s shoes, massaging feet of elderly in your home. This
will make them feel happy and you yourself will find
yourself blessed when they will return your favor by giving
you blessings.
So friends, enjoy your eid and be sure to give GIFTs to all
you meet. And this giving of gifts shall go on all year
through because they don’t cost but do wonders.
Eid Mubarik., Till next time, Allah Hafiz
