Intrapersonal

Why am I cursed to have a drunkard as my father?? Everyday, he spents away lots of our hard-earned money away like water just to buy toddy. Just because of that, my elder sister and I cannot even go to school! We have to work very hard to earn just enough money for my two younger sisters school fees and for food.
I want to go to the city where I can earn more money and escape from my father. Yesterday was the day where enough was enough! The next door idiot came and killed our dog pinto because my father owed him money. The heartless idiot!!
I will get a job from the de Silvas. Mr de Silva said that he would give me a job as a car-cleaner if I go to bombay. I will earn lots and lots of money and escape from poverty.
Bye

YES! I love talking about food. I will continue posting more topics on food in the weeks to come.

Chapati tends to be thin and papery while roti plata is soft and pliable. The roti plata originates in Punjabi while the chapati originates in East Africa.
Jalebi is a fried sweet dipped in sugar, while You Tiao is a long deep-fried dough, without any sugar content.

Here is a simple recipe to make 8 Chapati :
- 2 cups Wheat Flour, 1 tsp Ghee, 1 tsp Salt, Water to knead dough

The steps are :
1. Mix ghee, salt, wheat flour and adequate amount of water to knead smooth dough.
2. Leave it for an hour.
3. Make equal sized balls, smear them with dry flour and roll them out on a rolling board.
4. Heat a griddle. Put the chapati on it.
5. Moderately roast both the sides of chapati on griddle.

Here is the recipe for Jalebi, with the ingredients consisting of 2 cups All Purpose Flour, 1-1/2 tbsp Rice flour, 1/4th tsp Baking powder, 2 tbsp Curd, 3 cups Sugar, 2-1/2 cups Water, 1/2 tsp powdered Cardamon, Ghee or Vegetable oil.

The steps are :

2. Mix well, add water and whisk until smooth.
3. Set aside for about 2 hours to ferment.
4. Whisk thoroughly before use.
5. Prepare sugar syrup. Add cardamon powder
6. Heat oil in a heavy bottomed pan or kadhai.
7. Pour the batter in a steady stream into the kadhai to form coils. Make 4-5 at a time.
8. Deep fry them until they are golden and crisp all over but not brown.
9. Remove from the kadhai and drain on kitchen paper and immerse in the sugar syrup.
10. Leave for at least 4-5 minutes so that they soak the syrup and serve hot.

I feel hungry now :p

I choose a piece of music 'Relax for 10 minutes. Sit by the Sea'. The link is provided here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oOlNhkDE_E. I chose this piece of music because I heard it since I was young and it is a relaxing piece of music. :)
