Pomelo pickle

Laxmi,do you know after Tihar we must have bhogate ko achar as part of festival.I remember this month I spent a lot of time in wild and farms of our relatives and enjoyed a lot and pomelo is one of them .I do not have the idea how to prepare I said but my hubby requested to prepare and I began to request my momma.

Mom made Pomelo pickle using dry-roasted sesame seeds, salt, sugar, yogurt, chili and several other spices. ,bhogateko achar.You can ombine the grapefruit with orange segments, dry-roasted sesame seeds, plain yogurt, sugar, fresh lemon juice, cayenne pepper, ground black pepper, timmur, and salt to taste in a mixing bowl.


Paratha

Paratha a tasty food of my life and made by momma at home.People often asked me about my profession I feel that is my food and sleeping habit and television because books and TV are the most friendly and do not debate with me and keep on providing me the information about the world and facebook and google also add a charm in my daily schedule,my soft bed with pillow and laptop just speak many things with colors .

There was a poem about a sad man ,Dukhiko Thauno and my life is part of that Dukhiko Thauno, a poor man has a blanket which is very important for his  life .Even the bed brought to me by my dad has become same poem and the paratha making process helps me a lot of flavors in life.There has been discussions,articles and different blogs about paratha but my recipes does not work so much at all but I have been mentioning below.

In a large bowl take flour, salt, 1 tbsp oil or ghee and mix well to combine. Add water in small quantity and make soft pitiable dough you can keep aside the dough for 30 mins to 2 hours before making paratha too. Divide dough in to 6 to 8 equal portions.

Shape into smooth balls, flatten them and dust with flour and roll into roti. Apply oil or ghee all over roti and sprinkle little flour, fold into half apply oil, sprikle flour, fold again into half to form triangle shape. If you want your paratha to have layers then apply oil or ghee nicely all over and sprinkle flour, if not you won't get layers

Heat a tawa or griller and place rolled paratha, cook in medium flame for around 1 min or until bubbles starts to appear (if you have make good dough and rolled them properly it will puff up nicely as shown in below picture), flip and apply all over oil/ghee or butter, flip again and apply oil/ghee again. Cook for 30 secs to 1 min or until light brown patches, flip and cook again light patches appears. Repeat same for rest of dough.

Food and foodie

No more articles about food ,said the girl who was in orange dress and was depicting the values of dress.Whole night I kept on focusing on TLC about various gowns and value of photo session of family members but comic serials about family also helped me a lot about tastes of life with colors and spices .

To be foodie is not disease by birth , I remember how I used to suck the nutshells of green tea and leaves of tea which were soft with  my primary school classmates as they used to have competition for the weekend.There were tasty but to pretend to do something you uneasy was a matter of prestidge. Whenever market is busy of Tarkari wali or Topiwali,cycle ride,elections,furniture show,child care and beauty tips my focus remains on food.Because food is necessary as base and helps me a lot to understand the taste of visual,audio and other sensory perceptions around me.From facebook to mountains everywhere cuisine colors have been associating in same line and ingredients are just being the best things to describe on televisions and magazine,no matter how is the life one is busy to have a journey between innocence to experience and different foodie worlds are part of daily life.
