My all time fav recipe!

Ingredients:


- 250 grams of fresh ladyfingers (okra)

- 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil

- 1 onion, finely chopped

- 2 cloves of garlic, minced

- 1 teaspoon of ginger, minced

- 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds

- 1 teaspoon of coriander powder

- 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder

- 1/2 teaspoon of red chili powder (adjust to your spice preference)

- Salt to taste

- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice

- Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish


Instructions:


1. Wash the ladyfingers and pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Trim the tops and tails, and then slice them into thin rounds.


2. Heat the vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds.


3. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, which should take about 3-4 minutes.


4. Add the minced garlic and ginger. Continue to sauté for another minute until the raw smell disappears.


5. Stir in the coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Cook the spices with the onion mixture for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly.


6. Add the sliced ladyfingers to the pan. Stir well to coat them with the spices and onion mixture.


7. Cover the pan and let the ladyfingers cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. The ladyfingers should become tender and slightly crispy on the outside.


8. Once the ladyfingers are cooked, drizzle them with lemon juice and give them a final stir.


9. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves.


10. Serve your Asian-style cooked ladyfingers as a side dish with rice or flatbreads. Enjoy!




This dish has a delightful blend of spices and makes for a tasty addition to any Asian-inspired meal.

 Well, if you are thinking that an emulsion paint or a weather shield paint is used on roads, I shall make you aware that the answer is no! The very reason for this is that no matter how high the quality of weather shield or emulsion paint you use on the roads, they will fade away or chip away within months if not days. While a weather shield paint can protect your house for years, it cannot do so on a road.  You ask why? Because you don't walk on the walls of your house, you don't spill water, and you don't run cars and trucks on the walls. But you do on the road. Roads are vulnerable to dust, sunlight, and water.

This paint is made of fine minerals and resins which makes it reliable for the roads. It is then sprayed in layers to make it reliable and durable.  Here are some...

The pressure to excel academically has increased, with students often required to manage heavy workloads, long school hours, and extracurricular activities.

In addition to academic pressure, the expectations for extracurricular involvement have risen. Many children are encouraged to participate in numerous activities to build well-roun...
