<b>Turmeric:</b> The very popular spice in curries, and we all use it in almost everything we cook, but few people use it fresh. Those who use fresh turmeric will agree that its taste and flavour is completely different from the powdered packaged versions. Fresh turmeric is very fragrant citrusy and fruity and pleasure to eat even raw. For this concoction I used fresh turmeric easily available in winters .<br />
<br />
Turmeric is declared as superior then medicines and can replace many strong prescriptive drugs. Among many health benefits of turmeric is also its strong property of acting as natural steriod, anti<br />
inflamatory and antiseptic.<br />

the way to succeed beyond the classroom</span></b></i></h3>
</div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Students are expected to study. But successful students are
expected to be all-rounders. They manage academics and extracurricular
activities equally well and the balance helps them grow into accomplished
individuals. But why, you may ask? The answer is that extracurricular
activities for students are not just a change from traditional classroom
learning but a lesson in itself irrespective of the level of students. Be it
high school students or university students, activities beyond the classroom
give students the platform to practice their learning. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

performance attractive ways to have fun outside the classroom, older students
find it extremely encouraging to flaunt their confidence. This is also true for
students who otherwise feel pressured in the classroom or are unable to stand
out. Extracurricular activities become the voice of these students and a way
for them to be noticed among their colleagues and teachers. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The advantages of such an exposure are quite obvious.
Students learn to do what they will do in real life. As adults know, most real
life situations don’t involve sitting and listening to teachers for extended
hours. They involve speaking, writing, performing, basically being active. And
extracurricular activities give young people the opportunity to do just that. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Today, young people find solace in technology inside and
outside the classroom, both. Thus, the need to promote healthy extracurricular
activities has become more pressing. The merits of technology for students are
well-established but they should not replace the role of physical activity or
exploring their interests in students’ life. Sports and creative activities can
in fact facilitate students in learning more about themselves. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
To facilitate their children’s participation and strength in
extracurricular activities parents are always on the hunt for nutritious
supplement. In this regard, I have trusted Horlicks throughout raising my
daughter for a boost of nutrition <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a>along with her
meals.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is easy to forgo
nutritious food and get caught up in demanding academic schedules. On top of
this when students get involved in extracurricular activities they find it
difficult to remain on schedule and end up having health problems.<i><b> Including
Horlicks in their diet, which has become synonymous with a nutrition enhancer for
school going children</b></i>, will supplement the vitals they are missing in their
food. It is also difficult to introduce new products to children’s diet as they
are picky about taste but the fact that <i><b>Horlicks is available in flavors like
Malt and Chocolate becomes an incentive for children to consume it. </b></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>I have fond memories of sharing Horlicks with my little one
all through her early years. As I return back from office exhausted, I would
quickly stir some Horlicks with milk in a big mug for both of us and we enjoyed
while she is settled on my lap. All refreshed to catch up on family time later
the evening.</b></div>

if schools and colleges develop them in a certain way and parents encourage
children to be a part of them</b>. These ties not only help in personal development
but have direct links to how careers unfold. Culturally we place a lot of
responsibility on young people’s shoulders to get A’s and top the class but we
also need to extend our goals and advice to students to join as many
extracurricular activities as they can manage so they are better adapted to the
world. Instead of stressing on reproducing exact knowledge we need to make them
adept at applying that knowledge in the work they do, in their daily lives and
personal interactions. This will ensure we have all-rounded practical
individuals as part of Pakistan’s future and not robots programmed to just know
everything. </div>

<span style="color: #10131a; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Wanted a quick bite but filling
and healthy before a flight, not knowing when I will get next meal. I prefer
taking off with full tummy. I wanted something fast yet real food! So a bunch
of us checked in at Chop Chop Wok! And wise decision, it sure did it for me,
bringing fond memories of eating out of roadside carts and stands in China,
Singapore, Jakarta, Penang, Manila and many other Pan Asian destinations that I
have traveled to. That flavour and aroma of flame smoked stir fried food in
wok when cooked on high flame. Ummmmm loved the bowl brimming
with goodness. </span></div>

<span style="color: #10131a; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14.0pt;">I was invited at its opening last
summer, but could not go since I was traveling then. Upon my return I made a
few attempts at eating here and was mostly disappointed since the place is
always full, yes the downside of a 20 odd people sitting capacity serving great
food, it is always full. But well got lucky this time and found a table, and this one meal got me hooked to it. </span></div>

is time to come up with a blog for this go to place for me every time the
craving to have asian food strikes. I got hold of the two dynamic young
entrepreneurs Salman and Umair, holding degrees from Australia and UK, who own this
restaurant. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>I have had a
wonderful afternoon with them, food talks, dreams, their future plans and great
food amidst the drifting aroma from the woks of the open kitchen and leaping
flames from the volcano burners. Responding to my complaints of the tiny place,
they said they are building a bigger place that will be in operation in a few
months time, so waiting and capacity wont be a problem any more. Good news
indeed!</span></div>

<span style="color: #10131a; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span><span style="color: #10131a; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #10131a; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Chop Chop Wok is presented to
Karachites as a go to spot for quality Asian Cuisine that is cheap and accessible.
The overall ambience is very informal, we need not be dressed up, or wait forever,
or pay a fortune to be served here, a really grab and go option for healthy
meals.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #10131a; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Just pick a protein from
beef, chicken, prawns, eggs or tofu, select a flavor and a staple from the
available white or brown rice or pasta, in 6-7 minutes you would get a steaming, delicious and beautifully plated Japanese, Thai, Cantonese, Vietnamese, Pan
Asian, Oriental meal. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #10131a; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Look at the mind blowing variation that has something
for everyone. </span>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #10131a; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14.0pt;">How fun that is! </span></div>

<span style="color: #10131a; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Some of the meals that really
stood out for me and are my favourite includes brown rice (a rare to find
staple in restaurants) with a combination of 4 proteins in Pan Asian spicy
sauce. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> </span><br />
<span style="color: #10131a; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Salman, one of the owners
told me they<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>use prime quality
ingredients in<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>preparing the
dishes, and just a couple of spoonfuls of Black Pepper Beef with rice explained
that. The beef is totally succulent, fork tender in a thick shiny sauce. Great
texture and presentation, every bite is a delight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Could not agree more when the Executive Chef mentioned that
it is one of their hot selling items. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #10131a; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Don’t know how many bowls of this popular
Asian rice dish Nasi Goreng I ate around the world, yet Chop Chop Wok Nasi
Goreng will make it to the list of the ones I will always remember. </span></div>

appetizers, the recently added Wasabi Prawns were excellent. Mildly sweet,
with the wasabi kick and tender U/20 size prawns. I ordered Tom Yum soup as
well, but naah… that did not work for me, it was very very sour and broth based, I always go for
the creamy version of Tom Yum, but others on the
table liked it though.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

distinct aroma of well blended thai herbs, all home made sauces that does not
have glutamate, crunchy fresh vegetable and chicken tenders served
with jasmine rice, I always get request for brown rice in place, which the kitchen staff serve happily and no extra charge. </span></div>

<span style="color: #10131a; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 13.0pt;">A bunch of Nutrilov been
sitting on my desk for quiet sometime, it was sent to me for tasting. These are some
neatly wrapped and packaged granola bars. Hummm packaged food I am not fond of
them, so well they kept sitting there.</span></div>

<span style="color: #10131a; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 13.0pt;">However one busy morning, I
just grabbed a pack of it in a rush while running to teach a very early morning
class at University, yes no time for breakfast, and it is three hours stint, I
know I cant go without food, so lets give this baby a try. Checked its label on
the way; good! no artificial ingredients or preservative, wow for 137
calories a bar it is not bad, looks like I am gonna eat it. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #10131a; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Munched on it during the class
break and it tasted totally awesome a beautiful blend of nutty, earthy and
mildly sweet flavour. The toasted oats, chocolate bits, flaked coconut totally yum,
gilt free, healthy and filled me up until 3:00pm, when I got to eat my lunch well that is definitly good mileage.</span></div>

<span style="color: #10131a; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 13.0pt;">I decided to do a bit of talking with the enterpreneurs who came up with this idea and of course I wanted to
buy more, so were my cousins and friends since I had been bragging about it. </span></div>

<span style="color: #10131a;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica";">Madiha and her husband with</span></span><span style="color: #10131a; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 13.0pt;"> therr passion for
healthy food, had hard time like many of us health and fitness freaks finding
nutrient rich delicious food easily. They realized that there is a huge market
gap for nutrient packed healthy organic food in Pakistan. Most of us either
create and cook our own healthy meals and snacks or just eat the available
junk. Yes making great granola bar is a speciality with Madiha and with this perfect
recipe she tarted baking them to sell, her husband very fondly named it ‘Nutrilov’ and did fabulous branding. This is mainly
an online brand <a href="https://www.facebook.com/nutrilovpk">https://www.facebook.com/nutrilovpk</a>.

<span style="color: #10131a; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 13.0pt;">I asked Madiha ‘why Nutrilove
when<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> t</span>he imported granola bars are
on supermarket shelves”? I could not agree with her response,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>‘most of these imported brands are
laden with sugar and additives’. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #10131a; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 13.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nutrilov is a wonderful blend of rolled oats, real fruits,
nuts, honey and brown sugar. Freshly baked and have good keeping quality, the
pack says it is good for 20 days in refrigerator, well mine been sitting on
office desk for a month and taste perfectly fresh. I tuck a pack of it in my
purse all the time now, specially if I am somewhere where I don’t know when I get my next meal,
like traveling, photo expeditions or on fields.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Keeps me filled, gives me energy and is nutritious. Love on the go it is. </span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #10131a; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 13.0pt;">The brand got an overwhelming
response and is a straight hit with whoever tried them. Each bar is priced at
Rs. 100, and can be ordered online via Facebook page, also are delivered all over
Pakistan. Nutrilov is also stocked at IBA campuses in Karachi, T2F, and are a
regular vendor at the Karachi Farmer’s Market. </span></div>

phosphorus and vitamin B-12, 10 percent of the daily value for magnesium and
smaller amounts of other essential vitamins and minerals. Scallops also are a

<span style="font-size: large;">-Transfer the it on a big piece of aluminium foil, cover the leg with any remaining marination and juices. </span><br />

<i><span style="font-size: 18.0pt;">Shan spices has been an all time life saver and of
course help not only to overcome homesickness but also to cook traditional
Pakistani dishes for our hosts and colleagues we visit during international
travels. This new Shan TVC beutifully reflects the emotions, love, the family bonding so
specific to Pakistani values, and the food memories one associate with home all
set with a melodious sufi influenced lyrics as playback ‘maula sab ki sunta

<span style="font-size: 18.0pt;">Cuisine are by all means number one strategy to
exchange and experience cultures. Shan spices comes handy for all my exchange
students who are teenagers. They cook a Pakistani meal on special occasions
like Eids while living with <a href="http://www.boston.com/lifestyle/food/articles/2010/01/13/exchange_student_trades_ideas_recipes_with_maynard_host_family/">American
familie</a>s and turn their moments home sickness into opportunities to share
the rich Pakistani culinary tradition and culture with the natives connecting
the world together as they connect with their homes and families . The
cool thing is those delicious Shan spice mix are found in grocery store
in almost everywhere in the world where we have even a small number of
Pakistani community and a Desi food store. Making us feel home away from home
having us enjoy the taste of home and happiness #KhushiyanChakhLo. </span></div>

I don’t like surprises but this one time pleasantly
surprised and loved it to bits when I at random picked this new restaurant
‘Pranzo’ last evening and had truly a dinner night to remember forever. As I was
looking for a place to take my daughter for a graduation treat, someone
forwarded a Phegency promotional video of this place. I just picked phone and
made reservation hardly ever thinking about it, considering it is easy to please
kids, lets experiment with the new place. </div>

Wow it turned out an out of the world experience, the
baroque style decor, the dreamy romantic chandeliers, the comfortable table settings, the huge premises, high ceilings, and various levels and
sections of seating including outdoors and indoors, all culminating into a beautiful overall uplifiting ambience that would linger on in our minds long after. Perfect setting for celebrations, unwinding or to just chilling out after a long day with friends and family. </div>

Something I admired about the setting of Pranzo is that<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>guests can have privacy and quiet
dining experience even if the restaurant is full. The service is impeccable and the food is of course
ravishing. Very few restaurants have such an extensive menu of<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>mutton dishes, and here we were digging our forks into tender juicy Lamb Shank, a huge rack of BBQ ribs drenched in awesome BBQ sauce,
and creamy spinach shrimp pasta that is loaded with lots of medium sized shrimps
that are just cooked to right tenderness and not rubbery as often the
shrimp<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>dishes turn up.</div>

I
totally appreciate the generous servings unlike many fine dinning that has a
morsel of food sitting at the centre of a huge plate. Yes we Pakistanis like our fine dining plates full, and Pranzo presented us big plates laden with good sized servings right from salads, appetizers to main courses. All of this
luxuries perfectly set amongst great music, looks like they had some international
radio channel live streaming playing beautiful jazz that was aired all around on
simply fantastic speakers giving the feel as if there are live music
playing somewhere.</div>

flavorful revolution to cooking. It happened to me when a friend gave me
The Taste of Pakistan, a cookbook written by Chef Saadat. People told me he is
also a TV Chef and cooks on a show. I am not a fan of TV cooking shows, but
love to cook and follow recipes from books. Taste of Pakistan cookbook did it for me. Reading the recipes i was thrilled and knew this book is a keeper and would help me take my cooking of traditional dishes to a different level. I have been cooking non stop using these recipes.</div>

-</style>Chef Saadat presented 50 recipes in this book representing
the diversity of culinary arts, skills and traditions from all over Pakistan.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The book is sponsored by National Foods
and published by <a href="http://www.libertybooks.com/bookdetail.aspx?pid=16984" target="_blank">Liberty Books</a> in 2013.<br />
<br />
At first I thought that this book is some kind of promotional
book by National Foods and the recipes wont turn great unless I use their spice
mixes. But this is not the case I read through each and every section. The book defintily refers to some National spices, but the way these
recipes are developed we can follow them and present great tasting meals
using any brand or kind of spices available.</div>

The recipes use fresh locally grown produce, minimum use of bottled, packaged or tinned ingredients neither any imported items. The amount of spice is adjustable, and even if we use exactly as in the recipes it taste great and does not overwhelm the palate. They are easily adaptable and variations can be made without compromising flavour, taste and presentation of the dishes. I cooked the Afgahni Pulao for an all vegetarian meal and instead of mutton used chickpeas, the final dish was equally tasty and well loved. Also for some of the dishes I reduced butter or replaced it with olive oil and it worked perfectly well.</div>

The recipes in the book are divided in seven different sections that includes; Street Food, Spices and Vegetable, Chicken, Meat, Rice, Seafood and Dessert. Wow!! So all we need is to pick up the book select a menu and surprise our family and guests by cooking these amazing dishes. Something that impressed me as a cook
is the last section of the book giving a comprehensive explanation of some of
the culinary terms, cooking techniques and ingredients.<br />
<br />
This nice hard copy publication has a wonderful layout. User friendly with clear step by step easy to follow instructions accompanied by thumb nail images of cooking step. I loved the full two page folded spread at the start of every section.</div>

Everyone who tasted these dishes that I have been cooking following Taste of Pakistan, left
completely impressed, their taste buds satisfied<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and they got to experience Pakistan from just one

100% of the recipe that I followed worked perfect the very
first time. I never cooked white qourma ever, but it was simply an epicurean
delight when I cooked my first Bhawalpuri White Qourma, everyone on the table
were licking fingers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">The Mdarasi Daal Masala is another winner with me, I weighed different spices and herbs roasted and milled them, stored into a jar full of fragrant exotic spice mix called 'Madrasi Daal Masala". I wont be exaggerating if i say that it transformed the daal and daal sabzi that I have been cooking using the Madrasi Daal Masala.</span></div>

should be measurements in metric units rather then cups and spoons, which vary
in weight and volume from one kitchen to another. Many novice cooks might have difficulty determining the
weight and measurements Also missing is a section on beverages, Pakistani meal
tables are never complete without some amazing traditional drinks. <br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Kaiser rolls, also referred to as New York hard
rolls or Vienna rolls, are known for the </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">classic five spooked swirling pattern
on the top of the roll. The traditional method for achieving the classic
kaiser roll shape requires a series of overlapping folds. However during my recent visit to the Farmers
Market at San Francisco, I got my hands at a Kaiser Roll stamp and that made it
easy for me to create these beautiful rolls that are smooth even looking. With thin and crisp crust, and
soft crumb– this is perfect for creating favorite sandwiches!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;">Good things comes in small packages, and these little
fruits are a proof of it, the tiny strawberries are packs of vitamins, fiber, particularly high levels of antioxidants known
as polyphenols. Strawberries are low-calorie food and among the top 20 fruits in
antioxidant capacity and are a good source of manganese and potassium. Just one
serving -- about eight strawberries -- provides more vitamin C than an orange.</span>

to enjoy them. Making jams at home
without any preservatives, artificial colors and being able to control the
sugar quantity is a very good step towards healthy and hygienic eating and of
course home made products are much cheaper then their store bought counter
parts. </span></div>

At a recent workshop that i facilitated, the CEO of Naurus gave us out a neat
box of ‘Chatkhar’ products. These bottles and jars were bursting with flavours
and colours, and non ending varieties. Hummm made it really difficult to choose from what to try out first.
Yet there is one that can be paired with every meal, and spike up the taste of
ordinary meals into extraordinary ones by topping, dressing, dipping, drizzling
one or the other of these sauces, chutneys and pickles on food. World on Your Table is rightly claimed by<a href="https://www.facebook.com/chatkhaar" target="_blank"> Chatkhar</a><br />

What works for me with Chatkhar is the usage of olive oil in
their products, not sure if many local manufacturers of condiments use olive
oil. The sugar content is extremely low.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>However like all preserved food, it has sodium, so we need to keep salt
low or omit from the main dish if using condiments that has salt.</div>

These are high end products given the use of prime quality ingredients and oil. These are locally
prepared Pakistani products, giving us a wide range of products to choose from
and easily available off the shelf at most super markets. I always suggest to use locally produced bottled products if we have to, at least it is not been travelling forever to reach the supermarket shelves. </div>

I have used some of these products in my everyday meals, specially when you have guests, these “Chatkhar” products featured in this

<span style="font-size: large;">Originating from France, Bisque is a traditionally creamy
smooth soup with a base cooked with shellfish stock. However, this vegetarian
version of Bisque is equally tasteful, satisfying and nutrition packed. The
base of pumpkin, giving it the velvety, rich and creamy signature texture of
Bisque, slightly sweet and tangy hint of apples gives it a unique blend of
delicate flavor that is refreshing. Sea vegetable adds on a whopping amount of
vital vitamins and minerals including <span style="font-family: Times;">calcium, iron, zinc, manganese,
folate, vitamins A & K, and iodine</span>. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Kale is the super vegetable, and I love create recipes to
incorporate it in my daily meals.<span> </span>Besides
being rich in Calcium and Iron, it is a super <span style="color: #1f1d1d; font-family: Arial;">antioxidant that protects our bodies
against certain types of cancer. One cup of Kale has 180 percent of the
recommended daily does of Vitamin A, 200 percent of Vitamin C, and 1,020
percent of Vitamin K. Kale's unusual amount of vitamin K in particular helps
the body with such vital functions as blood coagulation and bone health. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #1f1d1d; font-family: Arial;">Herbs pair up so well with Kale for enhancing its taste and
upping the nutritional benefits of the dish. I used fresh Basil, Cuban oregano,
Dill and Chives giving the omelet a strong flavor and aroma that wakes up the
senses giving a feel of health and well being as we bite through it.<span> </span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #1f1d1d; font-family: Arial;">This omelet taste best if fresh herbs are used, though can be
cooked using dried herbs but taste wont is same. Depending on your taste and
preference you can omit and adjust amount of some herbs. The main idea is to
use some strong flavored nutritionally rich herbs. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Bread making is both science and art;</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Science in the sense that it involves a lot of chemistry </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">including fermentation, temperature control and </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">enzymetic activity. Art because crafting and baking </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">artisanal handmade breads ensure quality, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">taste and satisfaction.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Here goes an artistic and extraordinary verstile recipe and instructions of a very popular bread loaf. I regularly bake for home consumption as well as bake for friends and family. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhri8JyobddNtO4qxYMccgis4YsIb0O_g5OuzPTHvB8KqbT0YlxIEYaXqKZ-FxUqC0KICb2TyTVqH4exY9Xkf1G05G-tCa4fLWzSEI9yxMfhSkUpLDkqCffX1nr2L7B2BX9n9Kvk51yeoJH/s1600/4.IMG_3806.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="425" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhri8JyobddNtO4qxYMccgis4YsIb0O_g5OuzPTHvB8KqbT0YlxIEYaXqKZ-FxUqC0KICb2TyTVqH4exY9Xkf1G05G-tCa4fLWzSEI9yxMfhSkUpLDkqCffX1nr2L7B2BX9n9Kvk51yeoJH/s1600/4.IMG_3806.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I bake these using either prefermented dough that requires a portion of the bread to be fermented for 16-20 hours. The method I am sharing here is straight dough that requires hardly 3-4 hours for you to fill your house with that aroma of freshly baked breads, and present a professional looking and tasting braided loaf filled with all kind of amazing filling. </span><br />

plant in general produce for two years before it bolts. Kale is a cool weather
crop, however it is hardy and have abilities to acclimatized in most weather,
just the taste varies with the weather conditions, sweet in colder weather and
gets stronger and bitter with the rising temperature. I yet have to see its
growth pattern in the scorching heat of Karachi summers.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> I have never been so excited about Sarson Ka Saag ever, until I
happen to come across this beautiful tray of winter treat; Makai ki Roti (flat
corn bread) and Sarsoon Ka Saag (Mustard Greens cooked with spices) at Necos-Natural
Store and Café, this past month. It all started when a couple of my colleagues
and friends from NYC, we ordered breakfast, including the Sarsoon Ka Saag and
Makai Ki roti from the seasonal part of the menu at Necos. I only ordered it to
have it on the table so I can give some history and discuss eating tradition of
our country. But hola!! This turned out to be a winter long addiction with me,
since it was totally delicious, outrageously prepared in the most healthiest of
fashion any desi meal can be made. Yes, for a calorie and health freak like me,
it is hard to devour desi food until it can be adjusted to minimize additional
calories still holding its signature taste. And this awesome meal of saag and
roti from necos does it for me.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">So for the following several weeks and still now, I find
endless excuses to go back to Necos to eat it. I tried the Sarson Saag at other
eateries too, but nothing stood out for me then this spread of very well
prepared creamy spicy with desi ghee tarka saag served in a small wok, with
grilled makai ki rooti (no fat), the most amazing green chillies and sarson oil
achar/pickle. All this topped with a complimentary huge glass of lassi makes it a wow!! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Life could not be better and a value for money at Rs.399/= for the entire meal.
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">The restaurant is kind enough to reduce the amount of ghee
in my saag, and kept replenishing the totally addicted green chillies achar which adds flavour
and zing to this meal. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>There is popular saying that 'great bodies are made in kitchen', </b>and this is correct for a reason. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Workouts, running, sprinting, weight training and all kind of resistance exercise would not do any good unless you follow an appropriate diet aimed at building muscles at the right places and keep your weight under control.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">The following guidelines are specifically for males in persuit of staying fit and developing some great abs. </span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Given that an average Pakistani man is between the age of <b>mid twenties to late thirties</b>, without any <b>medical condition</b>, <b>dont drink alcohol or smoke</b>. <b>He engages in 60-75 minutes of workout</b> including weight training and resistance exercise at least 6 days a week. These guidelines would help them achieve their goals and discipline their health regime resulting in a healthy muscular body. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">ultimate
body building and fitness goals require a consistent workout regime with
correct nutrition intake. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Great bodies are made in kitchen not soley in gyms. </span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;">- <b>Flax Seeds meal</b> (powder it at home enough for 2-3 days supply, the flax seed meal/powder gets rancid if stored for more then few days)</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;">- <b>Balanced meals</b> Keep reminding yourself to balance every single meal you take during the day</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;">- <b>Count Calories and Nutrition;</b> To keep track of your nutrition and calories intake download and use any one of the Calorie and nutrition <a href="http://www.myfitnesspal.com/" target="_blank">counting apps </a></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;">- <b>Learn to Cook: </b>Most Pakistani men rely on others to cook for them, remember it is your Abs and body, so work for it yourself, or join cooking with mom, sister, wife or whoever is the executive chef of your family. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;">- <b>Share your Success: </b>send me some images once you begin getting those abs and the images and details of your meals</span></span><br />

being a coastal city offers a great harvest of different kind of fish and
seafood. As compared to red meat, fish meat are not very expensive. They are
easy to cook and can be turned into a range of creative dishes and are cheap if
cooked at home. However, in most homecooking with fish, we either deep fry them
with spices or make salaans out of it. Often we rely on pricey restaurants to serve
us delicately prepared fish and seafood dishes. Well no harm in it, but it will
be more rewarding and easy on our budgets if we learn to cooking few different
cooking style of fish and seafood at home and serve the same delicately
Italian, French or Mexican style dishes at your own dining table. </span></div>
