Apologies in advance if you are struggling to keep

Apologies in advance if you are struggling to keep your eyes open by the end of this post 😛

Answering a question that I thought needs a proper post rather than giving you half baked replies. " What do I study"

Question stemming from all the late night stories I post about studying. Tots valid.

I graduated in dentistry and then decided not to pursue it (for now). But I loveeee learning so I continue doing it no matter what. So this, is what I study:

⬇️ Structured learning (formatted)
There are 2 courses I am currently taking as a part of structured learning

1. Arabic Quran Grammar and Tafseer
This is ofcourse an endless study that I think no one ever graduates from. I try to give it roughly 1 hour everyday for 4 /5 days a week.

2. Photoshop, lightroom and illustrator.
I literally have no idea how this works, so I opted to do a mini course rather than youtube it like crazy. I set aside 40 mins to do this. Last month I took a course on pinterest. And next year i'll probably take on some other topic. This 2nd course option keeps changing depending on where I think I lack, i just book a course and get done with it.

⬇️ Informal Learning (random tid bits of info)

This one also takes about 1 hour to 1.5 hrs of my day and keeps changing as to what I need.

1. Currently reading up on cooking/nutrition etc.
2. My old medicine books and online research journals to keep in touch with my past.
3. Blogging related boring tech stuff.

❤ If you are thinking, "bitch be crazy" thats ok, 😛 I probably agree. I sometimes think its too much too. But i see this as in investment in myself. And then I don't mind it at all.

I know that some of you become overwhelmed when I replied to you and you immediately dismiss the IDEA of learning entirely. Please don't.

I try to be consistent but ofcourse don't end up doing all of this EVERYDAY. But currently circling between these. I don't expect you to relate to any of this 😄 and thats ok. If you DO want to learn something new, just remember it only takes 10 mins a day and 2 months down the road, you'll know more than you did if you haven't even started. Thats how I started too.

In the next post - where to find courses.

HOW MANY of you have made anday ka halwa before?

HOW MANY of you have made anday ka halwa before?

Since last night, there has been a slow but constant influx of dms mentioning that you guys find Anday ka halwa as an intimidating recipe. And I mean, I get it, its technical for sure! But if you really want to make it, all you need is the right ratio and tips along the way and you'l naillll it!

Edit:
Guys I removed the recipe from the caption because as much as I want it to be here, you really need to read the tips to get it right. This is technique plus ingredient ratio working together.

The full recipe link is in my bio. I request you to pleaseeeee pleaseee read the blogpost to understand what to do and what no to do.

Practically lost my mind trying to find the englis

Practically lost my mind trying to find the english translation for Bhujia. Apparently there isn't any 😛 had to settle with "curry". if you know, please dooo tell. Also what do you call sabzi at your homes? bhujia, bhaaji, bhaanji ya bhateeja

LAUKI KI SABZI - BOTTLE GOURD CURRY

Ingredients

1 kg bottle gourd.
1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
3 cloves of chopped garlic
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 tsp red chili powder
1/2 tsp crushed red chili
2 medium onion sliced
2 medium tomatoes chopped
3 tbsp oil
1 tsp cumin seeds
2/ 3 whole green chili
coriander for garnish

Instructions

Preparing the bottle gourd

Peel the skin of your bottle gourd with a peeler. Cut the long bottle gourd into 4 smaller segments.
Keep a bowl of water on the side and put the segments in the water.
Take out one segment of the bottle gourd and cut it into 4 wedges (length wise). Now the fleshy center of the gourd will be visible to you.
Check for seeds of the gourd, if they are very big, slice the central part of the gourd with all the seeds. Small seeds can stay.

Now thinly slice the gourd wedges into triangular chips. You can do this manually with a knife. You can also use a mandoline or a food processor with the slicer attachment to do this step. Keep putting all the sliced chips in water to prevent them from turning brown.

Cooking the gourd

Add oil in a wok or a pot along with sliced onions, chopped garlic and cumin seeds at medium flame

Saute the onions till they turn translucent.

Add turmeric, crushed red chili and red chili powder. Saute for another 2 mins at low medium flame.

Add in chopped tomatoes and mix.

Drain water from the gourd and add it to the pot. Stir everything together so that all the sliced gourd gets coated with all the spices. Cover the pot and let it cook at medium flame.

Allow the gourd to cook for 20 to 25 mins or till the all the water from the vegetable evaporates.

Once you see oil separating on the side, reduce the flame to low. Add salt and mix well. Add green chilies and chopped coriander. Cover the pot again and let it simmer for another 4 mins at low flame.

Turn off the flame and serve with rice and lentils.

Bara hi koi ander se sukoon milta hai when I add a

Bara hi koi ander se sukoon milta hai when I add a small tick mark on recipe requests that have been pending. 😄 #chotichotikhushiyan. This chocolate icecream has been on my list since god knows when! Finally its up!

I am also going to put up a detailed blogpost later tonight complete with substitutes, tips, tricks and vegan options. Filhal ap stories pe video tutorial dekhen.

⬇️ Recipe for Chocolate Ice cream

✅ Ingredients
250 gms of dark chocolate
3/4 cup milk
550 ml of heavy whipping cream
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup Dutch processed Cocoa powder
1 tbsp instant coffee powder
1 cup chocolate shavings (optional)

✅Instructions
In a saucepan, prepare the chocolate milk for ganache. Add cocoa powder, milk, sugar, coffee, salt, and 1/3 cup of the total 550 ml of cream.
Let the mix simmer at medium low flame. Whisk it for 5 to 10 mins or until everything is dissolved. Pass the chocolate milk through a sieve just to be sure there are no lumps of any sort.
Put the chocolate milk back in the saucepan and reduce the flame to low. Add chocolate chips or chunks in the chocolate milk and allow them to melt
Simmer for 5 mins or until the chocolate is fully melted and you have a smooth chocolate ganache.
Turn off the flame and cover the chocolate ganache. Allow the ganache to come down to room temperature. THEN place it in the fridge for at least 4 to 5 hours to cool down.
After 4 to 5 hours, bring out the remaining whipping cream and whip it till your cream gets fully airy and fluffy.
Bring out chocolate ganache and fold it into the cream with a spatula. Leave a little ganache behind to use as chocolate topping later.
Pour the ice cream base into a container. Add leftover chocolate ganache in between layers or on the top.
Cover the container with cling wrap over the ice cream. Make sure the cling wrap sticks to the ice cream base. Then use a lid to cover it.
Freeze overnight.
Serve the next day with any toppings of your choice.
