Raw Banana Fry (with Gram Flour)

I love this recipe. This tastes good with dal, rasam or even with curd rice. In fact, my cousin Sharan eats this like a snack. Also this recipe is healthy, owing to the fact that we are using only 1.5 spoons of oil & strictly no deep frying required and it is undeniably a rich side dish which is damn easy to make. Make this quick fry, your guests are gonna go gaga over this for sure.
Raw Banana Fry (with Gram Flour)
Ingredients:
1)Raw banana - 1
2)Gram flour(Besan) - 4 tsps
3)Asafetida - a pinch
4)Curry leaves - a bunch(or 5 sprigs)
5)Red chilli powder - 1 tsp
6)Coriander powder - 1 tsp
7)Salt - to taste
8)Oil - 1.5 tsps
9)Water - 3 tsps
10)Turmeric powder - a pinch
11)Mustard seeds - 1 tsp

Preparation:
1)Cook the raw banana in pressure cooker for 1 whistle. Peel the skin & cut the banana into half-moon shaped pieces.
2)Add Gram flour, Turmeric powder, Asafetida, Red chilli powder, Coriander powder, Salt, Water in a bowl & make a flowy mixture. Now add the cut & cooked bananas into the mixture & slightly coat the exterior.
3)Take a frying pan, add oil, add mustard seeds, let it splutter.
4)Add curry leaves, let it splutter.
5)Add the banana mixture into the frying pan, also add the leftover gram flour mixture sticking to the sides of the bowl.
6)Keep stirring until the mixture cooks(it might stick to the pan a little) & starts to break down, make sure the raw besan smell goes off before you turn off the heat.
7)Taste the recipe for salt & there you go, you have Raw banana fry ready.

      Thanks Divya!
      My little cousin Sharan can tolerate only fried potatoes(just plain not even mustard) with curd rice , but once i made this recipe he somehow liked it even though it had mustard & curry leaves. So this recipe has become a regular at home :)

Google Glass - All that you might want to know!

Google showcased the concept of  " Google Glass " in 2012, but for the past couple of months people( 500 to 600 so far ) started using the Glass and have come up with mixed reviews, with the feedback slightly tilting towards the negative side. Well, it is just a beta version(a test version)! The good thing about Google is that, they have sold Glasses only to app developers, testers and couple more and not to general public. Google is open to feedback and ready to fix problems and make them fool proof, before selling them to general public. I have been following this topic for quite sometime now and have read nearly 100 articles on this. Hence, I'm more or less capable of imparting some knowledge gained theoretically and sharing the same here. Is it a computer, a tablet, a phone or what on earth is ' Google Glass' ? Google Glass is a head-mounted wearable technology(or a computer) that easily rests on your nose and ears very similar to a pair of glasses, only that ...

What NOT to do with Social Media!

“What happens in 'Vegas' stays in 'Vegas'; what happens on 'Twitter' stays on 'Google' forever!” -  Jure Klepic Ever heard this quote before? Although, the quote is sarcastic, isn't it scary? For the past one week, we have been hearing news about NSA( National Security Agency ), PRISM( A Govt. program, where corporates are supposed to provide user's data shared in social media and call records to Govt. ) & several other Govt. agencies gathering personal data out of social media et al. Here comes the question: Why do NSA or Govt. spy on our personal information? What do they achieve, by doing this? A brief overview -> According to me, Govt. and the National Security agencies have always spied on the shared information available online. Only now, we are getting to know that our data is being monitored, thanks to a Whistle Blower named " Edward Snowden ". Why is this freaking people out?  Mainly because of over-sharing of personal ...

A mini story and a lesson for life!

This is one of my favorite short stories. I got this story as a forwarded mail long back. There are only 2 lines in the story but the take away is worth spending couple of minutes. Not everyday we come across intense yet thought provoking stories( whoever that wrote the story, kudos to you boss! ). The Story: A grandfather was talking to his grandson about how he felt. He said, "I feel as if I have two wolves fighting in my heart. One wolf is the vengeful, angry, violent one. The other wolf is the loving, compassionate one." The grandson asked him, "Which wolf will win the fight in your heart?" The grandfather answered: " The one I feed." My Analogy: What a powerful reply from the Grandfather! Isn't it? This is a very important scenario, mainly because it states no matter what the circumstance is - it is always "we" who decide as to which path to follow, which decision to take, which mountain to climb! Have you ever acted in ways that were u...
