Method:

1. Soak Moth Beans for 4-6 hours.
2. Add ¼ tsp salt & boil it in pressure cooker for one whistle in high flame.
3. When the pressure is released, strain all the water.
4. Wash moth with fresh water.
5. Make ready crispy fried potato fingers.
6. In moth, add finely chopped onion, tomato, coriander leaves, khatti-meethi chutney, lemon juice, fried potato fingers, green chilli & black salt, as per taste.
7. Now, its ready to serve.

Tip:

• Don’t allow more than one whistle as that would result into the overcooking of Moth Beans. Overcooking would further lead to over-softening of the Beans.
• The crispy fried potato fingers should be added in the last so that it remains crispy while being served in the juicy moth chaat.

Tip : Removal of Greasy stain from the clothes

Removal of Greasy stain from the clothes

Often our kids bring some or the other greasy stain(s) on their clothes.

If it's fresh, first try to damp-clean using blotting paper or tissue paper or waste cloth. Else just follow, following steps:

• Apply liquid dishwash soap directly on the stain(s).
• The soap should be sufficient enough to cover the stain(s).
• Leave it  at-least for 5 to 10 min. And then wash the cloth as usual.

Poem : संस्कार

संस्कार

वो हर बात पे मुँह बनाते,

हम हर बार फिर भी पास आते

संस्कार उनको मिले थे जो

वो वैसा करते रहे

संस्कार हमको मिले हैं ये

जो हम ऐसा करते रहे

वो जो करे

उल्टा या सीधा

सब सही है

हम करें, ठीक भी तो

वो समझते, सही नहीं है

अंतर्द्वंद है दिल में मेरे

की क्यूँ ना

मैं भी करूँ, वैसा ही

उल्टा सीधा

जैसा करते हैं वो,

पर हाय रे! ये संस्कार

कर ना सके कुछ गलत

हम, बहुत सोच के भी
