In Kadapa District of Andhra Pradesh, the place I hail from most of the people prefer Pakoras in their dinner or sometimes in their lunch.
This is one of the best side dishes that gives taste to any kind of food item. This can be had individually as Pakoras or one can have them along with the rice.
The Kadapa happens to be a very backward area. The people are mostly Muslims. They are very experts in making Pakoras. Here the speciality is that they are made using only Onions. They show you the way to the heaven during the rainy season.

As told already they prepare Pakoras using only Onions. They will not use Potatoes, cauliflower etc. They prepare them using the flour of Bengal gram. They add chili powder, salt , slight pepper, cumin seeds for digestion, etc,

But, nowadays there are places where even green leaves are also being used to prepare this dish. But originally Pakoras means the fritters made of Onions only.

I am a big fan of oats meal Cookies, such a Delicious treat!!!

I have not tasted them at any time. Even during my tour in Singapore, I have not noticed these Chinese cookies. This must be a delicious one as it has got all rich ingredients good for health. The chocolate is my favorite. Anything with Chocolate is my favorite The butter gives energy to the body. The combination of Beans and Chocolate is highly suggested by all medical practitioners. This combination is very helpful in the quick recovery after Typhoid fever.

It is best food for school going children because it a sweet and delicious dish. It is tasty in eaten as I have from my net friends but I have not eaten it still.

As I think that his is a wonderful meal you can whip up in around 10 minutes. What I love about these delicious green pea fritters is that you can also take any leftovers to work the next day and enjoy them cold or warm with a side salad of leafy greens, a squeeze of lemon and cold pressed olive oil.

I think these may be its benefits health wise as Green peas are loaded with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory nutrients. They are a great source of Vitamin A, K + folate, fibre and packed with protein as well as iron for energy metabolism.

Ricotta is a good source of protein, which encourages muscle growth and repair. Protein also stimulates the production of growth hormone that is responsible for bone and muscle strength that decreases as we age. Studies show that overweight people have lower-than-normal levels of growth hormone in their body, which may make it harder for them to lose weight as growth hormone can promote fat burning in the body.

HGH can be increased naturally by a quality protein- and vegetable-rich diet, getting quality sleep and enjoying regular exercise.

Green peas are highly rich in protein content. They should be taken in small quantities as it will be quite difficult to digest. A healthy person can digest easily 10 gms of Green peas.
If it is included in your regular diet in small quantities one need not consult any doctor for deficiency problems relating to proteins.
The recipe you have described here is similar to THE MASALA STUFFED INTO SAMOSA. The main difference arises while making mashing the Green peas. Here we grind it and make it a rough paste. We add Chilli powder in place of sugar. Rice flour is added in a small quantity.
Instead of preparing fritters with the stuff we dough it adding some Potatoes (boiled and mashed), some boiled and nicely cut vegetables like carrot, beans, cauliflower, etc. We keep this mix aside.
We prepare the dough of Pancake. Make small balls of it. Each ball will be pressed against the floor into a square shape. We place the Green peas stuff at the center of the square-shaped dough.It will be folded into a triangle shape. This is a technique. We fry it in a hot sunflower oil taken in a Pan having a deep base. When it turns into brown in color it will be taken away into a separate container. They will be quite crispy and crunchy also. We can take them as morning / evening snack along with a cup of hot tea.

It may be very hard indeed to introduce new foods to children, and I cannot agree more that we must not bribe nor threaten them. it is our job to be creative as parents and to find interesting ways that might work in getting our children to have a healthy diet. I have a two year old daughter and a six year old niece and they are very picky eaters. My niece for instance doesn’t like meat, however she likes patty, so what I do is to make bite-size patties which she loves very much. My daughter doesn’t like milk, so what I do is to milk popsicles which she loves;see, mission accomplished. There are also other creative ways in which i get them to eat foods that they don’t like.

The only “trick” I remember my mother trying on us was to let us starve until we got hungry enough to eat the food she prepared. What was on the table, that was it. She said if we didn’t like it, there was bread and butter and we could have a glass of water with it and then go to our room. Yeah. That was the “old school” parenting style. I come from a large family and I don’t remember that many of us being picky eaters. Looking back on it, I don’t know if the alternative meal of bread and butter and water, was the reason why we weren’t picky eaters. (O.o) 🙂

Food is part and parcel of human life we are eating vegetables fruits since our birth the same apple, the grains , the same meat, the banana, the same orange…

But the children like different foods and vegetables in eating with different style so that they change their eating pattern and its most important for health and human spirit.

Your child should consume a variety of foods from the five major food. Each food group supplies im­portant nutrients, including vitamins and minerals.

Vegetables: 3-5 servings per day. A serving may consist of 1 cup of raw leafy vegetables, 3/4 cup of vegetable juice, or 1/2 cup of other vegetables, chopped raw or cooked.
Fruits: 2-4 servings per day. A serving may consist of 1/2 cup of sliced fruit, 3/4 cup of fruit juice, or a medium-size whole fruit, like an apple, banana, or pear.
Bread, cereal, or pasta: 6-11 servings per day. Each serving should equal 1 slice of bread, 1/2 cup of rice or pasta, or 1 ounce of cereal.
Protein foods: 2-3 servings of 2-3 ounces of cooked lean meat, poultry, or fish per day.

A serving in this group may also consist of 1/2 cup of cooked dry beans, one egg, or 2 tablespoons of peanut butter for each ounce of lean meat.

Dairy products: 2-3 servings per day of 1 cup of low-fat milk or yogurt, or 1 1/2 ounces of natural cheese.

I think that Although food habits are not stable and unchanging during a person’s lifetime, a base for healthy food habits can be created in early childhood. Children’s food habits can be assumed to be influenced by their parents’ food habits and choices.

The aim of this article is to review factors influencing food choice in children as well as in adults. The results demonstrate that the development of children’s food habits is influenced by a multitude of factors. Parents play an important role in the formation of food habits and preferences of young children.

They can influence their children’s food choice by making specific foods available, by acting as models for their children and by their behaviour in specific situations. Children tend to be afraid of new foods and do not readily accept them. However, experience is known to enhance preference, and earlier experiences of a particular food are the major determinants of the development of children’s food acceptance patterns.

Thus, parents should be encouraged to make healthy foods easily available to the child and serve these foods in positive mealtime situations in order to help their child to develop healthy food habits.

Yes you are correct. I still disagree with lending money to best friends even if they are in need of the money. Money is very bad and also good but when it comes to friendship, money should be far especially lending money to friends. If you want a friendship relationship between you and your friend to last, don’t lend him money. Instead of you to lend him 2000 to solve a problem, I rather you dash him 200 and ask him to manage the 200,that that’s all you have. Like that your friendship still Continues harmoniously. Am talking from experience,. If you study the reasons why many best friends broke up, you will realize that money to an extent is the cause of the end of the friendship. I have witnessed a lot of friendship that has been broken up because of lending money issue and that is why I believe this topic and also agree with the topic beyond doubt. Some friends though very good friends are not worth being helped on terms of money. This has made me realize my uncles word, he said you can never say a man is good until you do money business with him. If he is good with money business, you will know he’s good. So many friends of ours are not worth being lent some money because at last they will disappoint you. Because they are your best friends, that will make them always delay your payment even if the money comes around. They will be like, after all he’s my guy. They don’t remember again that their guy is also on need of money.

Thanks for sharing such a useful information. I have been a victim of this lending of hard earning money to friends whom I never heard from again.

you r right–want keep that friendship–dont do it

You know…Money is a real bad thing. It can never buy happiness of any kind but still it is one of the greatest need of life.
I have seen money destroying many relationships and that too for the whole life.
But one question which is coming to my mind at present is WILL THEN WE BE ELIGIBLE TO BE CALLED AS BEST FRIEND.
Don’t you think it is our responsibility to help our friend without thinking of the results.

I know that situation quite well. I have had friends who have shown their true friendship at some point, when they were aĺ over you and that will do anything fun you, be there whenever you need them. Until one day i offered to help a friend and housed her for 2 years. Not asking for anything in return. I would buy good, wash the laundry, cook and sometimes i would even go ahead and offer them transport whenever they needed help. So for me it was a simple day of lending a helping hand, i never expected anything on return.
Then one day my friend decides she is ready to move out because she got a job and a house. I was so happy for her, but what followed is something I didn’t expect. In fact she got a house just next to mine, there was not even a day that my friend would pass by my house to come and say hi. To me i felt like that was really a bad show. How much would it cost you to just go back to the person who helped you, thanked her and just appreciate what she did for you. I think that would be prudent right? I know if I was the one I would have gone back to my friend and just appreciate her for what she did for me. But I guess people are different. So friends sometimes cannot be trusted, if at all that can do that then what can’t they do if you lended them money? So I don’t think I would give my friend money especially when I expect them to pay me back.

Yes. If we lend money to our friend then friendship will be spoilt. Mostly he may not be able to return and if it is insisted it will result in relationship problems. good day.

Lending money to friends will result in relationship problem. In case we give we must be prepared not to insist on returning.

Is it possible to prepare the chicken rice in a rice cooker? Have you ever used a rice cooker?

Yes, it is very difficult for parents and children which school they choose for children to learn English especially for the non English parents in all countries because English has become the symbol of national and international prestige.

We learn English because it the need of time all countries for jobs and interaction on earth with people who speak English.

English is the true lingua franca, the world’s global language. It is the most widely used language in the world, spoken by well over a billion people in every continent. Significantly, in addition to almost 400 million native speakers, there are as many as a billion non-native speakers, suggesting that English as a second language is a vital skill for much of the world.

This is reflected in where you find English. It is a dominant language in business, science, I.T., aviation, seafaring, diplomacy, medicine, the internet, and many other industries. In an increasingly globalised world, English is expected as a basic requirement on any respectable CV – and bilingual speakers can enjoy much better employment prospects than those who speak only one language.

Learning English opens you up to masses of entertainment and arts. It’s the language of centuries of culture: of Shakespeare, Dickens and Austen; of Byron, Shelley, and Wordsworth; of Hollywood, the Beatles and Britpop.

It’s an official language of some of the largest and most important countries and organisations in the world, including the UN, the EU, the US and the UK. And as the one language to unite the world, it breaks down cultural barriers and acts as a common tongue for native and non-native speakers alike.

Learning English is a crucial step to becoming a truly ‘global citizen’. It’s a means of communicating in any country, in any part of the world.
