chilly paneer


chilly paneer

Paneer or Indian cottage cheese is a very important constituent of the Indian cuisine. As it is, despite its great diversity, Paneer is a component which is present in the cuisines of almost all the regions. As it is, one of the most important aspects of Paneer is that it is not only used for making various sweet dishes, as well as dishes constituting the main course menu. Therefore it would not be actually surprising if you are invited for dinner and Paneer forms part of every thing right from the appetizer, the main course and the sweet dish.
Of all the Paneer recipes, Chilly Paneer is one of the most popular. Heavily influenced by its non vegetarian cousin, the Chilly chicken, it was evolved to give vegetarians a substitute for the chilly chicken. Being a devout non-vegetarian, I used to hate this idea of going for petty substitute.
However, my views were thoroughly shagged up, as I had my first morsel of this wonderful dish; at the request of my wife. Here I was enjoying Chilly Paneer, which was if not better, then equally good in comparison to Chilly Chicken. Thereafter I looked through the recipes and I was flummoxed to find so many recipes of chilly Paneer. I tried some of them, and found this recipe the most appealing.
Ingredients:
400 gm Paneer
8 tbsp Corn flour
4 tbsp Oil
4 Onions
6-8 cloves Garlic
6-8 Green chilly
2 large Capsicum
1 cup Vegetable stock
Salt to taste
1 tsp White pepper powder
4 tbsp Soy sauce
1/2 tsp Ajinomoto
2 tbsp Chilly sauce
Preparation:
  1. First of all, drain Paneer properly and chop down into medium sized pieces.
  2. Now, heat sufficient oil in a wok, roll the Paneer pieces in corn flour and deep fry the Paneer pieces on medium heat till the edges turn brown.
  3. Thereafter set the fried Paneer pieces aside.
  4. Now, blend remaining corn flour in quarter cup of water and set aside. Chop the onions into thick slices and crush the garlic cloves.
  5. Now, chop green chilies and cut capsicum into thick stripes and set them aside.
  6. After this, heat two-tablespoon of oil in a pan, add crushed garlic and then stir-fry for some time.
  7. Now, add sliced green chilies, onion as well as capsicum and saute for some time.
  8. After this add fried Paneer pieces and stir in the vegetable stock.
  9. Add salt, pepper powder, soy sauce, chilly sauce, Ajinomoto and the blended corn flour and keep stirring while cooking on high heat until the sauce thickens to coat the Paneer.

    Making money with Google Adsense

    Google adsense is a money generating tool if used smartly. Google adsense is a type of advertising opportunity offered by Google through which you can earn some money only if you own a website or a blog. 'Google ad sense' are the third party ads, 'ads by Google' which you can place on your website or blog.
    Goggle adsense is of two types: 'content adsense' and 'search engine adsense'. In the content adsense, small ads labeled as 'ads by Google' with appear on the side of the page. You get paid when your site visitor clicks on any of those ads. In 'search engine adsense', Google search engine will appear on your site. If your site visitor conducts a search using that and then clicks on any of the sponsored adsense ad which appears in the search results, you get paid for that click.
    Procedure for using Google adsense:
    1. You can sign up for free by visiting: www.google.com/adsense
    2. Check up with their program policies. If it is compatible with you then fill their online form. Check your e-mail, as you will be asked to confirm your e-mail address. Within 2-3 days you will receive an e-mail confirming your registration.
    3. Then you can log in your account in order to obtain an HTML code generated for you by Google adsense.
    4. Put this code on your website. This code will generate ads on your site which will be labeled as 'ads by Google' or a Google search engine or both depending on the option you have chosen while filling the form
    5. You can choose the type of ads you want to display on your website to certain extent. For e.g.: You can prevent your competitor's ads from appearing on your site by setting up filters.
    6. You can customize the appearance of the ads so that it matches your site by changing the background color, font size and type etc.
    So if you currently own a blog or a website Google ad sense is a good way to earn some revenue. Google matches the keywords of your site with the keywords appearing in the sponsored ads. It then places the ads matching with the content of your site. Thus the visitors on your site act as a highly targeted audience for these ads. These are the very group of people who would be interested in these ads. Every time an 'ad by Google' is clicked by a visitor on your site, you earn a commission. The amount of commission you earn per click can vary from 0.05$ to 30 $ a click. Thus everyone benefits. The website owner who has put up these ads earns money as the visitors on his site click these ads. The websites whose ads are clicked obtain more traffic. Google earns money through the bids placed by advertisers for placing these ads.
    The disadvantage of using Google adsense on your site is that when your visitors click on Google adsense ads, the ad does not open in a separate window, the ad opens in the same window. Thus you lose your visitors. Your visitors land on some other site. However Google compensates for this by paying you a little commission.
    Goggle has technology to detect click fraud, thus do not even attempt to cheat on goggle adsense by clicking your own ads or asking your friends to do it.
    The revenue you earn from ad sense ads depends on depends on the following things:
    1. How much traffic your site is getting: With a large traffic you can get a lot of clicks and thus can generate few hundred dollars per day. Thus in order to increase your earnings from Google, increase the traffic on your site
    2. How well optimized is your site: It your site is well optimized i.e. if the keywords you have used in your site exactly match with the contents of the ads placed on your site, the ads placed on your site are sure to get a large number of clicks. For e.g.: Imagine a situation in which you sell flowers on your site and you have used the keywords as flowers and butterfly while optimizing your site. When you place Google adwords, ads dealing with butterflies may also appear on your site. People visiting your site are interested in buying flowers and not butterflies. Thus it is unlikely that they are going to click the ads dealing with butterflies. Thus in this case since your site is not well optimized, you don't get many clicks. You can learn about tips for optimizing your site from the Google adsense site.
    3. How much money the advertisers are paying Google for particular key words: There are certain key words which are very hot and competitive. They will earn you a lot of money.
    4. What is your website theme: Does your website pertain to hot keywords which are heavily bided for. Use the site www.wordtracker.com to find the keywords in demand.

If you knew how often I thought of you, you'd be blown away. If you knew that I compare everyone else I come across to you, you'd be blushing. But if you knew how badly you hurt my heart and how whenever I see you I just want to break down and cry... you would feel so guilty that someone so "special" to you has to feel this unbearable pain... even worse, you're the person causing it.

    lyf...

    Life has never promised you anything,nor has god..but people did..they said they wont ever leave..
    LIE.
    they said they wont let you get hurt...
    LIE.
    they said u'r precious...
    LIE...
    but without these lies life wouldn't be worth living..
    It's when you're living these lies and realizing that they ere just lies that make up life...

    lyf....

    As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let us down, probably will. You'll have your heart broken and you'll break others' hearts. You'll fight with your best friend or maybe even fall in love with them, and you'll cry because time is flying by. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you've never been hurt. Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances. you just have to live life to the fullest, tell someone what they mean to you and tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someone's hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late, be a flirt, and smile until your face hurts. Don't be afraid to take chances or fall in love and most of all, live in the moment because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back.
    I’ve never been for the word love
    As silly as it may seem
    Too many people just say it
    But not knowing what it means
    And even though I am in love
    It’s something I’ll never show
    I’ll never stop to say that words
    So I’ll guess you’ll never know
    I’ve never been for promises
    They make people look like fools
    No one ever means to keep them
    They’ll be broken just like rules
    And even though I am sincere
    And feel it’s something I owe
    I can’t say I’ll be there for you
    So I’ll guess you’ll never know
    I’ve never been for love symbols
    Those really stupid tokens
    People give them out like presents
    Then leave your heart all broken
    And even though I want to kiss
    You under the mistletoe
    I don’t feel its right to do that
    So I’ll guess you never know
    I’ve never been for anyone
    Cause there’s no one just like you
    How can I tell you how I feel
    When this world made love untrue
    And even though I feel for you
    I’ll let my emotions go
    I don’t think these words mean enough
    So I’ll guess you’ll never know
    I’ve never been for sad goodbyes
    Cause I don’t know what I’ll lose
    I’ve never left a friend behind
    It is something I will refuse
    And even though I really want you
    Away my love, I will throw
    I can’t say what you want to hear
    So I’ll guess you’ll never know
    Ik tamanna thi jis ki, woh khwab tum ho,
    Hai sitaron ko bhi khabar, mera mehtaab tum ho.
    Youn tau kai chehre mile iss zamane mein,
    Magar dil ne kaha, nigahon ka aftaab tum ho.
    Dekh kar phoulon ko hota hai ye gumaan,
    Mast baharon mein khila gulaab tum ho.
    Dastaan-e-mohabbat ho, ya koi afsaana-e-dil,
    Har bazm-e-yaraan mein, mera khitaab tum ho.
    Likha hai main ne, ae dost, alfaaz-e-mohabbat, Meri ghazal,mere ashaar,meri kitaab tum ho
    Wo college ke dino mein hamaari pehli mulakat
    Wo chhp chhup ke ki gayi tumse meethi meethi baat
    Wo shararat bhari nazarein tumhari
    Wo jhuki jhuki si palkein hamaari
    Wo raaton ko karvatein badalna
    Wo din bhar tumhare baare mein sochna
    Wo sab ke saamne seena taankar tumhara pyar ka izhaar karna
    Wo sile honthon se muskura kar hamein uska ikraar karna
    Kitni khushiyan aayi thi mere soone jeevan mein
    Phir kahan se aa gayi patjhad pyar ke saawan mein
    Badalte mausam ki tarah tum bhi badal gaye
    Mera saath chhod kad kisi aur ke ho gaye
    Apni jaan se azeez mohabbat ko humne khoya hai
    Haan mera dil khoon ke aansoo roya hai
    Shikayat mujhe tumse nahi apni dhadkan se hoti hai
    Jo kisi se to kuchh nahi kehti par akele mein roti hai.....

    school days ....

    When

    The school reopened in June,

    And we settled in our new desks and

    benches!

    When we queued up in book depot,

    And got our new books

    and notes!

    When we wanted two Sundays and no Mondays, yet

    managed to line up daily for the morning prayers.

    We learnt writing with

    slates and pencils, and

    Progressed To fountain pens and ball pens and then Micro tips!

    When we began drawing with crayons and evolved to

    Color pencils and finally sketch pens!

    When we started calculating

    first with tables and then with

    Clarke’s tables and advanced to

    Calculators and computers!

    When we chased one another in the

    corridors in Intervals, and returned to the classrooms

    Drenched in sweat!

    When we had lunch in classrooms, corridors,

    Playgrounds,

    under the trees and even in cycle sheds!

    When all the colors in the world,

    Decorated the campus on the Second Saturdays!

    When a single P.T. period in the week’s Time Table,

    Was awaited more eagerly than the monsoons!

    When cricket was played with writing pads as bats,

    And Neckties and socks rolled into balls!

    When few played

    “kabadi” and “Kho-Kho” in scorching sun,

    While others simply played

    “book cricket” in the

    Confines of classroom!

    Of fights but no conspiracies,

    Of Competitions but seldom jealousy!

    When we used to

    watch Live Cricket telecast,

    In the opposite house in Intervals and Lunch breaks!

    When few rushed at 3 o Clock to

    “Conquer” window seats in our School bus!

    While few others had “Big Fun”, “peppermint”,

    “kulfi”, ” milk ice !” and “sharbat !” at 3 3o!

    Gone are the days

    Of Sports Day,

    and the annual School Day ,

    And the one-month long

    preparations for them.

    Gone are the days

    Of the stressful Quarterly,

    Half Yearly and Annual Exams, And the most

    enjoyed holidays after them!

    Gone are the days

    Of tenth and twelfth standards, when

    We Spent almost the whole year writing revision tests!

    We learnt,

    We enjoyed,

    We played,

    we won,

    we lost,

    We laughed,

    we cried,

    we fought,

    we thought.

    With so much fun in them, so many friends,

    So much experience, all this and more!

    Gone are the days

    When we used

    to talk for hours with our friends!

    Now we don’t have time to say a `Hi’!

    Gone are the days

    When we played games on the road!

    Now we

    Code on the road with laptop!

    Gone are the days

    When we saw stars

    shining at Night!

    Now we see stars when our code doesn’t

    Work!

    Gone are the days

    When we sat to chat with Friends on grounds!

    Now we chat in chat rooms…..!

    Gone are the days

    Where we

    studied just to pass!

    Now we study to save our job!

    Gone are the days

    Where we had no money in our pockets and still fun filled on our hearts!!

    Now we have the atm as well as credit card but with an empty heart!!

    Gone are the days

    Where we shouted on the road!

    Now we don’t shout even at home

    Gone are the days

    where we got lectures from all!

    Now we give lectures to all… like the one I’m doing now….!!

    Gone are the days

    But not the memories, which will be

    Lingering in our hearts for ever and ever and

    Ever and ever and ever…..

    Gone are the Days…. But still there are lot more Days to come in our Life!!

    NO MATTER HOW BUSY YOU ARE,

    DONT FORGET TO

    LIVE THE LIFE THAT STILL

    EXISTS……
