Shahi Tukray


Ingredients:

1. 6 slices of white bread
2. Clarified butter for frying
3. 400 grams sweetened condensed milk
4. ½ cup white OR raw sugar
5. a pinch of saffron strands
6. 3-4 green cardamom
7. 2 liters full cream liquid milk
8. sliced almonds and silver leaf for garnishing.
Method:
All the procedures can be started side by side, on one stove make sugar syrup, on another put milk to make rabRi and fry the pieces of bread on another stove.. in this way by the time rabRi is ready the slices will be fried and soaked in sugar syrup and ready to receive the rabRi.
Frying the bread in ghee:
Cut the brown edges of the bread and cut each slice in 4 pieces.
Melt clarified butter (ghee) in a pan and fry the bread slices on medium heat to golden color
when the slices get golden color from one side flip them and fry them to golden color from other side as well
fry them in batches until all of them are done, keep them on an absorbent paper so that all the excess ghee is drained out.
Making sugar syrup:
In a pot add sugar, ½ cup of water, saffron strands and green cardamoms and let it cook.
Don’t cook it too much, only when it boils and gives aroma, pour it in a bowl to let it cool down.
The sugar syrup should be luke warm before bread pieces are dipped in it.
Dip the fried pieces of bread in luke warm sugar syrup for 15-20 seconds, flip them once in the sugar syrup
when sugar syrup is absorbed well in the slices, arrange them in the serving dish
Making rabRi

Put liquid milk in the pot and let it boil, leave the spoon in the pot, this will avoid its spilling out.
Milk will take some time to reduce and become rabri.
When the liquid milk has reduced then add sweetened condensed milk in it, now keep stirring as it may stick to the bottom

of the pan. As sweetened condensed milk is added so there will be no need to add sugar.
After getting thicker, the chance of boiling and spilling over is less so now it can be cooked on a larger burner on a higher flame but keep stirring.
Once its reduced and looks thick and creamy, let it cool down.
When its luke warm pour it on the fried slices of bread set in the serving tray.
Some people just pour a little bit of rabRi on the fried slices of bread
Garnish with silver leaf and sprinkle the peeled and sliced almonds.

Smart Phone Freezing or hanging


The first time you use your smartphone, the speed switching between apps and tabs is amazing. After a couple of days or weeks when you have installed all the apps, some of which you barely use. Then the freezing starts, even a few micro seconds feel like forever. This calls for what i would name “app control”:
  • Before you install an app read its system requirements it may task your processor more than you expect
  • Delete any app you haven’t used in 2 weeks because honestly, you don’t need it
  • If an app is causing your phone to hung, update it or reinstall it
  • Expand your internal memory if your phone allows it
  • Those pictures you have had since you got the phone, once you have them backed up (which can be made automatic with dropbox, picasa, instagram etc) save your phone some memory and delete them. Basically free up as much space as you can.

Phone not charging


Now this is one problem i experienced with my galaxy nexus. You plugin as always, only this time both the charger and phone get really hot and the battery is not charging. A lot of people have had this problem with phones that charge with micro usb cables. If this happens to you and your phone is still on warranty, take it for repair but if you are interested in attempting to fix things like me( i must add daring too) troubleshooting is the way to go. Find out if its your battery, cable/plug in charger or if its the phone itself.
  • Try charging a different battery with your phone
  • Try a different charger with your phone
  • Try a different power outlet or use your computer
If this doesn’t work, you need to seek some technical help because its a phone problem. Either a software problem or internal hardware problem especially if the thunder bolt is showing on the battery icon but the battery settings say it is not charging. I took it a notch higher with my phone since all the troubleshooting above didn’t seem to work. One last attempt after reading some phone forums was to lift the female micro usb tongue(gently) such that it makes good contact with the male plug. This idea seemed to work for people with the same problem so i gave it a shot and it worked for a while. Lets just say that wasn’t the problem with my phone, at this point it was time for me to make use of my warranty, thank God for warranty.
Different companies offer product service and sometimes you can find a lot of help in the faq support or troubleshooting pages.

Most Amazing Features: Samsung Galaxy S4 or Samsung Galaxy Note 2

The latest Samsung Galaxy S4 has been able to attract lots of eye balls all over the world. While many have already made the choice to purchase the Galaxy S4, there are still lots of people who are still confused whether to purchase this smart phone or to opt for other smart phones like Samsung Galaxy Note 2.
While the Galaxy S4 has already started arriving on the doorsteps for those who had pre-ordered it, it is still not available for immediate purchase. Those who have already started taking advantage of this smart phone have reported that the Galaxy S4 is a tempting smart phone which boasts amazing features.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 features a 4.99-inch full HD Super AMOLED 1,920 x 1080 display with a pixel density of 441ppi while the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 comes with an S-AMOLED capacitive touch screen display of 5.5 inches of 720 x 1280 resolutions with a pixel density of 267 ppi. The Galaxy S4 uses Super AMOLED display with a PenTile pixel arrangement.
The Galaxy Note 2 has got an 8MP camera of 3264×2448 pixels resolution. However, the Galaxy S4 has got a 13 megapixel rear camera that can shoot video in Full HD 1080p quality. It also has a 2 megapixel camera that can also record 1080p video.
The phone has got Backside-illuminated (BSI) sensor for better low-light sensitivity. It can be used for video calling and has even got Dual Camera mode. The front camera of the phone controls the phone with Smart Pause. When you look away from the screen the video will get paused and when you will look back, the video will automatically turn on.
The Galaxy S4 has got Exynos octa-core processors running at 1.6GHz. It uses ARM’s big. LITTLE architecture and is therefore, strictly not an eight-core processor phone. The eight cores are divided in two: four high-power, complex cores for doing the heavy lifting and four smaller, power-efficient cores for doing more mundane tasks. Its architecture is designed so that it can switch between the different types of core seamlessly while the Galaxy Note 2 is powered by Exynos 4412 Quad, MALI 400, 1.6 GHz Cortex A9 Quad Core processor.
The Galaxy S4 will have the Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean OS while the Galaxy Note 2 operates on Android Jelly Bean v.4.1.1.
However, like the Galaxy Note 2 even the Galaxy S4 has got 2 GB RAM and the storage capacity of 16GB, 32GB and 64GB which can be expanded further through microSD card.

Battery wearing out


This is a common song sung about all models of smartphones, truth is with more features and processing power, you need more power. The battery is becoming more and more less sufficient to meet the ever increasing needs of these phones. According to fixya a study was done on some of the most common smartphones and battery life cut across all the phone models as the most popular problem. This report was done with 25 million users, 650000 experts and 15 million product problems and solutions. It includes some of the common problems popular smartphone models have and how they can be fixed.

Solution

If your phone battery starts to need charge every 2-3 hours with regular usage, its time to buy another battery. If your battery works fine and you just need it to push through a typical work day or you want it to last you till you upgrade your phone,then here are some simple solutions you already know:
  • Turn down screen brightness
  • Closing all the apps you are not using
  • Turning off the extra things like wifi and bluetooth when not in use
  • If you need to listen to music whole day everyday, get an mp3 player
  • Not using your phone beyond certain battery percentage (15-20%)
Even with knowledge of these simple solutions we are still reluctant to follow through. Blame it on laziness or just the thought that if the app is closed you are missing out on something. This is something we need to consciously put into practice to maximize our time with these gadgets – a personal discipline.

                                  Chicken Kofta Kebabs




                                  Ingredients:
                                  • 2lbs ground chicken
                                  • 1/2 cup diced onion
                                  • 1/2 cup chopped parsley
                                  • 1/3 cup bread crumbs
                                  • 4tsp ground coriander
                                  • 1tsp nutmeg
                                  • 1tsp cumin
                                  • 1tsp red pepper flakes
                                  • 1tsp minced garlic
                                  • 1/2 tsp salt
                                  • 1/2 tsp pepper
                                  • 12 skewers, (soaked for at least an hour)
                                  Method:
                                  In a large bowl, combine all the kofta ingredients and mix well.
                                  Place 1/3 cup of the mixture in the palm of your hand and roll between your two hands to make a cylinder or tube like shape about 4" long and about 1" in diameter.
                                  Insert one of the pre-soaked skewers up the center of the chicken kofta kebab just until it begins to poke out the other end.
                                  Clean and oil the grates and preheat the grill to 525 degrees Fahrenheit. When the grill is heated up, place the kebabs on the grill and close the lid.
                                  Every 5 minutes rotate the kofta kebabs so all sides cook.
                                  After 10 - 12 minutes they'll be fully cooked and can be removed from the grill.
                                  Serve this with a creamy garlic cucumber sauce and some pita, tortilla shells or buns.
                                  You can also consider chopped tomato, onion, cucumber or other toppings.

                                  ½ tsp sugar
                                  4 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
