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 :)

      Trust me, make this and give this to Deeps, he will start liking it.
      Same thing happened with my cousin Sharan, initially he was like, haan who will eat this? Once he got the taste of it, he was like I need one more bowl :-)

Have we lost our brain power to technology?

How many times a day do we use some form of technology in life? Pretty much every minute: be it the usage of smart phones, laptops, tablets, phablets,...etc. We got so much used to it that sometimes we do not see the answer to a simple problem lying right in front of us. As much as I love technology and anything to do with it, I do believe in the fact that - " Technology made us all lazy, to an extent ". To get back to our humanness, we have to use only those entities which are necessary and let go off the rest. If that is not possible, then take a " technology break " once a month - see how beautiful the day turns out to be! I did one complete day, and I was so peaceful, Zen like! If somebody asks me to tell them the current-local-time , although I wear my watch all the time, I go straight to my phone, it is not that I cannot read time, it is just that my phone displays it for me. What can I say? Laziness personified! I'm sure many of you would have come across...

RIP 'Google Reader' and what next?

We all know ' Google Reader ' would shut it's service down on the 1st of July this year. If you are not aware, then try logging into Reader, you get a popup reminder like the one shown in the picture below. There are so many people, who logs into Reader as the first thing in the morning than logging into their own blogs, for them this shut down means letting go of a helping hand. And the worst thing is, there are umpteen number of alternatives available in the market for free, so which one to choose? To be honest with you, there are pluses and minuses in each and every product. But there are 2 Reader alternatives which come close to Google Reader and that is Feedly and Digg ! I'm somehow inclined to try  Feedly , so here I have jotted down some basic information to get started. If you already are using some other alternative, good for you! - You don't have to read further, coz this post is only about Feedly! Ok, So why do you think Google is shutting down the Reade...

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 ...
