Five food secrets that no one told you

1. Curd rice

Great chefs make curd rice yummy by adding white butter to it. They know when to add the white butter and make it more yummy.

2. Chana masala

Great chefs add tea powder while cooking chana. This gives darker color to chana and also some of the invigorating properties of tea are added to chana masala.

3. Sarson ka saag

Great chefs add Palak and bathua leaves too in apt proportions to sarson ka saag and this gives blandness to otherwise strong taste of sarson ka saag. 

4. South Indian Adai

Great chefs add murangi leaves (drumstick leaves) to the adai batter. This makes adai more tasty.

5. Vinegared onion slices

Great chefs of dhabas serve vinegar soaked onion slices tossed with salt and red chilli powder. One can eat portions from this salad while your roti arrives from tandoori.

Have a nice day, friends!!

More on Solid Triangles

Are you practising on Solid Triangles method for comic and portraits ?

Yes, I am practising on Solid Triangle method for comics and portraits. Right now, I feel my portraits drawing will improve if I apply Solid Triangles method for 6 months or so. But currently Solid Triangles method is not proper for comics. If the head is at 70 degrees, the upper torso is at 50 degrees and legs at 30 degrees and so on. I need to concentrate hard, practise hard. But I feel in 9 months my comic drawing shall also improve if I pay attention more closely.

What about interiors background. Will it be Solid Triangles?

No. It will be a 3D box.

What about exterior buildings ?

Exterior buildings shall also be 3D boxes. They shall be drawn with my Protruding out and concaving in method technique, which I invented.

What about trees, plants, rocks, rivers, mountains?

These in the background will be drawn with freehand. And according to my abilities.

Yes, I shall be using PDCA to improve quality of Solid Triangles technique.

My favorite rice variety

I am no expert in rice. But  enjoy dwarf,  thicker variety rice.

This rice variety is great with rasam. And thinned curd.

 You need fried potatoes mildly salted and spiced for rasam rice. And amla pickle for thinned curd rice. But they are yummy.

I suggest using this rice for rajma chawal and kadhi chawal. It will be relished more by customers while giving more margin to shops.

Enjoy your day today!!

NLR34449

I think I had NLR34449 rice once. Nellore, Andhra Pradesh variety. It was awesome !!

Dental hygiene

Dental hygiene is extremely important. It is essential to visit a dentist when one has pain in a tooth or two.

I last visited a dentist in 2015. In Delhi.  I got all the issues of my dental health resolved. After that I never went to a dentist. 

My teeth has gaps.

I am into dental floss due to this. Food particles are suitably removed and the chance of cavities getting formed, thereby reduced.

But recently I developed sensitivity. Possibly because I sometimes use rubber band for flossing.

Then I applied my mind and got for myself Sensodyne paste and Sensodyne gargle.

Wow!! My oral hygiene is back to normal.  No pain, no sensitivity and can chew peanuts on both sides of jaw. I feel like back to 2015.

Have a nice day !!

Mentat medicine

Mentat is a medicine by Himalaya which gives good support to troubled minds.

India is blessed with Himalayan plants and  Mentat is a great medicine.  I have tried it and if you believe it works, it does.

Ashwagandha is good too. But it makes one dull. Could be helpful in chain smokers who want to get out of cigarette smoking. I am writing this because I have tried Ashwagandha.

I have never tried Brahmi or Shankhpushpi.

Ayurvedic herbal tea gives a "Yoga done" feeling.

I have had Himalayan Amrit tea many times.  A little Himalayan Amrit tea would do. Drink it with your favorite music being played. You will be confused whether the cup of concocted tea is good or the music.

Have a great Eid. Jai Hind, guys!!

Car Maintenance

I like to keep car cleaned. And polished. I have a Maruti Ignis car.

I have the 3M cleaning kit at home

There are three ways I wash the body of the car

1. Using 3M car shampoo - A bucket of water with a few drops of Car Shampoo is needed when car is very dirty. Once a week.

2. Using plain water - A bucket of water without any additives is used here. A cloth is dipped inside the bucket and without squeezing the water; the car is wiped. Later a dry cloth is used to wipe the semi-dried areas.

3. Little water - Quarter of a bucket filled with water is used here. A cloth is dipped inside the bucket and after squeezing the cloth, the cloth is used to wipe the body. It is a great way, when you clean the car every other day.

3M car wax is super and is super soft. You apply on one section, say top. Wait for a while. Then wipe the area where polish is applied with another cloth. Only an average amount of rubbing is needed.

3M dashboard spray only needs to be applied and spread No need to wipe and all. Your dashboard is all glossy.

3M tire dresser too only needs application and spreading. But the tires should have been cleaned with car shampoo before and should be free of dirt and should be dry. I dress using the 3M tire dresser the tread regions too as I feel it is a nice way to inspect the tires while dressing.

A clean and polished car saves petrol bills. As we live up to the good looking car.
