Poha: a quick and simple breakfast recipe


Here again, I have come up with an easy and healthy breakfast recipe, that's poha, a very very popular dish in Maharashtra.

Ingredients:

 Flattened Rice (there are two different types of flattened rice/poha available in the market, get the thicker version amongst the two), Curry leaves, Onion, Tomato, Chilies, Pea-Nuts, Mustard Seeds, Jeera powder, Salt, Turmeric and Ginger Paste.


How to make it?

 Take a pan, and put one tablespoon of oil in it and let it warm. Put the mustard seeds and jeera powder as tadka. then one by one put the curry leaves, ginger paste, chilies, and the onions and fry till the onion becomes brownish in colour. After that add finely chopped tomatoes and cook till its mushy. Now add the washed poha (remember not to soak the poha in water, else you will get lumps of it and it won't taste good that way). Add the poha /flattened rice and mix well. Do not add any water else it gets into lumps. After mixing the flattened rice with the masalas in the pan for like 2-3minutes, close the flame.

It's done! You can also add capsicum and carrot to the poha to add to the quantity and also the taste of it.

Happy breakfast-ing!

Jovees Honey and Apple Conditioning Shampoo Review

So today is another review day! And today I'm gonna talk about the product which has been with me for the longest time ever☺ Yah, as you all must have understood by the caption, today I will be sharing my review about Jovees Honey and Apple Conditioning Shampoo. I have been using this shampoo for the longest time ever! For the last FOUR years, I'm using it.

So the shampoo actually looks like this: The shampoo had a different packaging when I just started using it and is now in this form. So you can understand I have seen all phases of this shampoo. LOL!! I actually have very dry and rough hair and was looking for some shampoo which will keep it soft and not make it even drier after hair wash. This exactly serves the purpose. It is transparent and has a very mild and nice f...

Khadi herbal Hair conditioner review

So here I am today to review two varieties of KHADI Herbal Hair Conditioner, one is Khadi Shikakai and Honey Hair conditioner and the other is Khadi Green Tea and Aloevera Hair conditioner. The first thing I want to share is I am absolutely in love with these hair conditioners. I am the one who has dry and rough hair, and for me, I felt these conditioners are just perfect! So why I'm in love with these? I have tried like so many conditioners on my hair, some of it turned out to leave my hair too sticky, some didn't do its job at all and left my hair brittle and rough, and to be very honest, I was tired to figure out which one will suit me the best. Then suddenly I came across these Khadi conditioners. The first time I used them only I felt the difference, it nourished my hair, made it soft and smooth, like the way a conditioner should exactly be. Moreover, it is not at all costly.

Mixed Noodles

Instant Noodles (any brand) and the masala of it, Vegetables (here I have taken a carrot, capsicum, potato, and onion-you can also use other vegetables of your wish), Eggs (here I have used 2) Cumin seeds, salt, turmeric. How to make it? First, boil the noodles and keep it aside. (Remember to strain off excess water from the noodles and also wash the noodles with cold water after its boiled to remove the stickiness of the noodle.) Take a kadai, one spoon oil. Add the cumin seeds, salt, and turmeric. Then add the chopped onions, let it get brownish. Now add rest of the vegetables. Let them cook for a while. Then add the noodles masala, stir and then add eggs (you can also add chicken). Stir for 1-2 minutes till the egg is cooked. Now add the already boiled noodles. Mix well, and ...
