Exclusive Recipe |
|
Moli Ka Paratha |
|
- 2 cups
flour, white or whole wheat
-1 tsp. salt
- Water for mixing
For filling:
- 3 bunches white radish (mooli)
- 3 green
chilies, chopped
- 1\2 cup coriander leaves,
chopped
-1 tsp. salt
-1 tsp. chili powder
- 2 tbsp. ghee
-
Ghee or butter
for shallow frying
1. Combine flour and salt in a
medium bowl. Gradually add water to bind the mixture
together. Knead well for a few minutes until dough leaves
the sides of the bowl clean. Cover with a damp cloth and
keep aside for 15 minutes.
2. Meanwhile prepare the stuffing. Wash the radish and grate
them, using a vegetable grater. Place the grated radish in a
colander, add 1 teaspoon salt and mix well. Keep aside for
15 minutes.
3. Place a small amount of radish between the palm of your
hands and press to squeeze out water. Put radish in a bowl,
add green chilies, coriander leaves, salt, chili powder and
3 tablespoons ghee and mix well. Divide filling into 6 equal
parts.
4. Divide dough into
12 round balls. Flatten each ball slightly. Put one
portion of filling in centre.
Place the other round over to cover the filling and press
the edges together to seal.
5. Dip the stuffed round into some dry flour to prevent it
from sticking to the surface and rolling pin.
6. Roll out each round on a
lightly floured surface
into a round 6 inches (15 cm)
in diameter.
7. Cook one at a time on a hot
griddle over
medium heat. Put about 1 or 2 tbsp
ghee around the
edge. Turn gently. Cook until sides turn golden brown.
Serve with
yogurt
and
lemon or
mixed pickle.
Dough sticking to the
rolling pin?

keep it in the freezer for a few minutes before using.

Vitamin D 'makes stronger babies' |
Giving
pregnant women vitamin D could mean their babies grow
stronger bones in later life, a study suggests.
A study of 198 mothers indicated the children of those who
lacked the vitamin, crucial for calcium absorption, had
weaker bones at nine.
Those who took supplements or were exposed to more sunlight,
which helps the body grow its own vitamin D, had children
with greater bone densities.
The research from Southampton General Hospital is published
in the Lancet.
Professor Cyrus Cooper, who led the team, said the findings
provided evidence that maternal vitamin D status during
pregnancy influenced the bone growth of offspring and their
risk of osteoporosis in later life.
He told the BBC News it was the vitamin deficiency of the
mother carrying the child, rather than the baby in early
life, which affected the child's bone strength later. "This
is completely new - no one has ever looked at the mother's
vitamin D levels before."
Vitamin D is crucial for the absorption of calcium which is
in itself key in the formation of healthy bones.
The team from the Medical Research Council's Epidemiological
Resource Centre at Southampton General Hospital measured the
levels of vitamin D in women's blood in late pregnancy as
well as studying calcium levels in the babies' cord blood.
Supplement warning
This showed how vitamin D had helped calcium transfer across
the placenta.
Nine years after the babies' delivery, the team traced 198
of the original 596 mothers who remained in the Southampton
area and measured their children's bone mineral content and
bone mineral density. Professor Cooper now wants to carry
out a study to see whether supplementation of vitamin D
deficient pregnant mothers could lead to stronger bones in
their babies in later life. Professor James Walker of
the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists said
the study demonstrated the importance of having adequate
levels of vitamin D in pregnancy, both for the mother and
her baby.
But he said it demonstrated that women who had adequate
vitamin D levels were fine, and it was "only when levels
were deficient that there was a problem".
"More vitamin D is not necessarily good," he said.
"Therefore, no woman should take extra vitamin D in
pregnancy unless recommended by their doctor." Jackie
Parrington, spokeswoman for the National Osteoporosis
Society, said the research was important as it showed the
need to look after one's bones started at an earlier age
than had previously been thought. "Maintaining bone
health is important throughout life. Regular weight bearing
exercise and a healthy balanced diet are all essential for
keeping our skeletons strong as are stopping smoking and not
drinking heavily," she said.
Osteoporosis, which costs the NHS £5 million a day, affects
half of women and one in five men over 50 in the UK. It
results in bones becoming so porous that they can break very
easily.

Am I Really Sorry !
"Sorry", a word we hear many a times each day. So much so
that it seems to be losing its significance for which it was
suppose to be meant for.
This five letter word automatically comes on our tongue when
we commit a mistake. It is like we have been fed to say this
whenever we err. This word, "sorry" has a greater meaning
and significance. It means that we are regretful of our
mistake AND in future will try our level best not to
repeat it. But sadly, now a days the word sorry seems
to have only apologetic notion attached to it, and the
other, equally important part, has somewhere been lost on
the way.
The word "sorry", can mend hearts when said with true
feelings. Only then is "sorry" effective when the person who
says sorry actually is determined to make sure that the
mistake will not be repeated intentionally again.
This five letter word "sorry" is not something that can
"undo" the harm caused. Sometimes we hurt others purposely
and when found guilty get away be saying sorry. But the
person who has suffered because of our deliberate hurtful
action, his sufferings cannot be undone. When someone loses
the notes and assignments borrowed from some friend just a
week before the final exams, she will just get away by
saying sorry but will that sorry make any amends for the
lost notes' owner? Will it equal the hours of hard work that
the poor soul had put in preparing them the whole year? What
happens when just by being careless while playing indoor
with the ball you break the most antique vase on the shelf
that belonged to you great grandpa? Sometimes we hurt others
by our remarks. But the words said out once are like arrows
shot from arc that can never return.
In our modern world, everyone make mistakes and gets on
without fixing the harm done by them. Committers of Robbery,
theft, corruption, violation of rights and rules all go
unchecked because they find reason to justify their acts.
People have become so busy in their lives that they have
hardly any time to realize and confess their mistakes.
First step towards correction is realization of mistake.
Then only it can be amended.
Dear fellows, saying sorry can’t mend things especially when
despite saying sorry once again we repeat our mistakes. So
watch out your behaviour. Never intentionally harm others.
If you do so, say sorry with the true feelings of remorse
and firmness to never let the mistake be repeated. The New
Year provides us with just the right opportunity to bring
about all good changes in ourselves. May Allah be with you.
