Bitter Gourd Recipe


Bitter gourd has excellent medicinal virtues. There are many who dont like this poor vegetable.. but I just love it... I came across a cool and simple recipe which i would like to share ...(All the bachelors can also try it..its simple!!)


Ingredients:(Serves 2-3 [medium eaters] )

2-3 bitter gourds medium
3 big onions
1 slit green chillies
1 tomato
3-4tamarind(soak it in water for sometime)
2-3 pod of garlic -small
chilli powder(accordg to ur need)
turmeric powder - a pinch

Lets start...

Cut the gourd length wise and clean up the inside.. now chop it into thin slices...chop the onions.. smash up the garlic.. slit the tomatoes.. soak the tamarind.. slit up the green chilly. and get ready with the oil and salt..

Now heat some oil..2-3 spoon.. splutter some mustard seeds..put some curry leaves...put the smashed garlic..let the aroma come up..then add the green chilly and the chopped onions..let the onion turn gloden brown and a bit more.. add the chopped bitter gourd and sliced tomatoes.. close the pan with a lid so tht it gets cooked.. keep it in low flame..
then add a bit of chilli powder and some turmeric powder.. and mix it well.. becareful the mix does not get burnt near the flame...

when the gourd is almost cooked..pour the tamarind liquid into this mixture.. 1/4rth of the gourd should be covered with the tamarind.. let it get cooked in this..

Lastly..put some curry leaves and remove from fire..
P.S--Tamarind is put to remove or reduce the bitterness of the Gourd..


(sorry i dont have a snap of the recipe now..will post it sooonn!!)


Enjoy!!

Kidzzzz!!!!

Innocent...twinkling eyes...naughty looks...smiling faces... weren't we kids once!!?! Do we ever try to keep a smile on our face for more than a minute?(mmmm good question!)

I noticed this from my one year old son..they smile over small small things we do for them..so ignorant.. full of love for everything around and those naughty pranks are never from heart... how much you get angry at them, they come back to you...
Such wonderful creatures are they...isnt it!!!(nuisance for the neighbors ...hihi)

Veg or Non-Veg??

After eating a meal with chicken and mutton..stuffed up, we feel so heavy and cant even breathe properly, we would wanna take a nap..isn't it? Jus by eating these slaughtered animals, we gain nothing but ...still nothing!!We feel so dull coz the meat requires more energy for digesting the food in our body...and so we become tired..

And it takes more than 10 -12 hours for it to digest.. So between this 12 hours we stuff up 3 meals.. and jus imagine how much time this meat gets rottened in our body and eventually we start to stinkk!!!! Have anyone noticed that..

Maybe i did start feeling it myself now..and i bid goodbye to NON-VEG.(lucky chickens n cows)...

Being a pure veg really helps u in many ways(from what i experience)..

1. Mornings..guys..its really easyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!! ;)..you kno wht i mean..
2. Wont feel dull
3. Smells good!
4. Mind gets some good flow of thoughts(dont u want tht toooo??)
5. Feels a positive energy..

Jus this much in a months time.. so i think i wil be able to add more in the following moths i guess... [:)]

So when is YOUR turn to be a VEG?????

Enjoy!!

Look around... Its beautiful..


This is a waterfall on the way to kodaikkanal.. The beauty of it made me glued there for and hour.. The sound of the water hushing down.. jus cant imagine how God is designing all this..

We all go out of India to look for beautiful places.. but why do people forget or tend to not c the beauty around us..

Eating those spicy corns and watching the waterfalls is jus so astounding. i have seen many crazy people trying to climb up this fall!!!!.. (wht goes thru their head i donoooooooooooo) ..Jus too risky guyss!!

Anyways..guys do stop in on ur way to kodai at this spot..

Enjoy!!!!

REALIZE...the Crazy mind...

Have you ever thought of that person who keeps nagging within you??When you jus think of doing something good , that PERSON asks you "do u wanna do it now?? do aftersome time.."

If you guys really wanna meet that person i will tell u the right time... jus keep the alarm at around 5a.m(if u don get up at tht time), and whn the alarm rings then, jus listen within, "OH wht are u doin.. NOW??!! whts ur probs..get back to bedddd!!" something that pulls u back..

Don you wanna get rid of that person.. atleast get control of IT?..

BUT guys these problems in the world is jus becoz of this IT.. no one is realising.. If everyone tries to control this IT and then u will realise wht a wonderful individual all are.. ALL are jus filled will LOVE.....

Enjoy!!
