What is Pink Himalayan Salt? Pink Himalayan salt, also known as 'white gold', is a rock salt that is naturally found in a non-polluted area deep within the Himalayas. It is known for its striking properties, as it contains 84 natural elements and minerals that are indispensable to our health. These include magnesium, potassium, calcium, chloride, phosphorus and iron. It also contains zinc, selenium, iodine and copper, and has traces of iron oxide (rust), which gives it its pink tinge.  Unlike regular table salt, Himalayan salt is completely natural, and contains no added chemicals or additives. For this reason, it is considered to be a healthy salt. It is commonly sold as coarse grains, or even as large blocks, although finely grained versions are available.
What are the health benefits? Consuming Pink Himalayan salt brings a multitude of surprising health benefits to our body. Here are some: It controls the levels of water within the body; It regulates blood pressure; It balances the body's pH; It helps with blood sugar regulation; It aids absorption of nutrients in the intestinal tract while supplying the body with sufficient energy; It promotes vascular health, bone strength and respiratory function; It prevents muscle cramps; It nurtures the kidneys and gall bladder; It regulates healthy sleeping patterns; It wards off signs of aging; It supports your libido. Having said this, it is still very important to watch your amount of intake of this salt. Just like other salts, Pink Himalayan salt may contain some traces of aluminum, lead and toxic metals, so make sure you always maintain a balance. Why should I prefer it to table salt? Table salt is a highly processed type of salt, which can act as an 'invader' to the human body when it is turned into sodium chloride. It is widely known that this is the main cause of high blood pressure and water retention, and it can also bring about tissue irritation. Because it affects the balance of fluids in our body considerably, it causes the body to waste a great deal of energy in order to bring it back to normal. In fact, for every gram of sodium chloride that is ingested, our body uses about 20 times the amount of cellular water in order to neutralize it. As a result, this can lead to health conditions such as rheumatism, arthritis, cellulite, and kidney and gall bladder stones.  For these reasons, Himalayan salt is very often the healthier option. This type of salt is natural and hence easier on the body when it comes to metabolism and energy usage. Apart from this, it is found to have positive effects on the nervous system and is an excellent source of energy for our bodies. How much Pink Himalayan salt should I consume? Sodium is found in every type of salt, and this is why we should be careful not to consume more than we should, even when it comes to Himalayan salt. Excess intake of any salt can lead to water retention, high blood pressure and heart disease, and while the risk is less for Himalayan salt, it still doesn't exclude the fact that you should be cautious. Consider the facts: According to the American Heart Association, we shouldn't consume more than 1,500 milligrams of sodium daily. In reality, the body can function on just 500 milligrams a day, but an average American consumes a shocking 5,000 milligrams - far exceeding the limit. The ideal amount of Himalayan salt would be a quarter-teaspoon, which contains 500 milligrams of sodium. This allows one to use it a little more freely than regular table salt.   Another way of using it: Himalayan Salt Lamp There's another great way Himalayan salt can be used, besides consuming it. People have found that lighting up a block of this salt, to form a so-called Himalayan Salt Lamp, can transform a room both chemically and physically. Apart from being aesthetically pleasing and calming, it is also said to have some unique healing effects.

 Ingredients

bananas 3 ripe chopped
ragi flour 2 tbsp
oats plus ( this has other millets etc) 2 tbsp or even plain oats is fine
 I used coconut palm sugar, you can use sugar free to taste or plain sugar/jaggery about 2 tbsp
ghee/ clarified butter  1 tsp

Method
in microwave, I roasted ragi flour for 2 minutes
then I added oats, roasted for another 2 minutes
then added the chopped bananas, coconut sugar and kept for some time, as sugar melted, so I could mash the banana well with a spoon
then I microwaved for 2 minutes, stirred well, another 2 minutes on high power, when it all came together in a mass, I added the ghee and kept for another minute.

It is healthy, as ragi is rich in iron and calcium, oats as fibre, millets are rich in minerals, since coconut palm sugar is used instead of sugar for diabetics, it is healthy, bananas are rich in potassium, fibre and minerals and very little fat. You can also cook it over gas, but I did in microwave, as I was busy cooking something else over gas, then wanted to make tomato-onion chutney to refrigerate, to use for roti, bread or upma etc. Then of course, I was in a hurry to finish a bear I started yesterday, which you can see in my crochet blog.

* Boiling eggs in salty water will make sure that even if the eggs break, their insides will not escape, and you will be able to take off the shell with ease.

 

* To check if the egg is fresh, put it in a bowl filled with salty water. A fresh egg will sink, while a stale egg will float.

 

* Peeled apples, pears and potatoes won't blacken if you put them in cold, slightly salty, water.

 

* Have coffee or tea marks in your cups? You can remove them with a moist sponge and some salt water.

 

* Your glassware can go back to being shiny and transparent if you wash them with hot salt water and then with regular cold water.

 

* Using salt, you can easily clean the bottom of a burnt pot or pan - just add a thick layer of salt at the bottom, add some water and leave the pot to stand for the night. In the morning - boil the water.

* A combination of salt and baking soda will clean the fridge and remove odors.

 

* If you add just a tiny pinch of salt to your coffee it will improve the taste and counter the bitterness.

 

* If you add a tiny pinch of salt to milk it will stay fresh for longer.

Tips and Tricks for Egg-lovers

1. Check whether your egg is still fresh

The trick is easy: sink your egg in a glass of water. Although eggs can generally last for quite a long time in your fridge (around 5 weeks), it is still important to see whether one is still good for use in the kitchen. If the egg sinks to the bottom of the glass, that's a positive sign. But if it floats, consider discarding it.

2. Keep your eggs lasting longer

If you think buying fresh eggs has become quite a frequent and demanding task, you may need to find an alternative way of storing them. A suggestion would be to freeze them - like that, you would be keeping a storage of eggs for whenever you may need them. Fill a muffin tin with some beaten eggs, and place them in the freezer until they solidify. When they do, transfer them to a freezer-safe plastic bag, and store for up to 6 months.

3. Scramble the right way

Achieve chef-quality scrambled eggs by cooking them the right way. Here are some tips: Firstly, make sure you keep the heat at medium-low to low, not higher. Secondly, opt for butter rather than oil - it is better at keeping the mixture moist in the pan. Thirdly, you could use both your hands to improve the way it cooks, by using one to slightly shake the pan in a circular motion, and the other to stir the eggs continuously with a spatula, in the opposite direction. Finally, use a spatula to "scramble" the eggs in the pan, although the right way to do this is to push the eggs from side to side. If you're on the right heat, your scrambled egg should be ready in no more than 2 minutes.

4. Learn how to make a 1-minute omelet in a mug

Looking for a quick but filling breakfast snack that doesn't involve pans and burners? Make your omelet in the microwave! All you will need is: 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 1 tablespoon whole milk 2 large eggs Pinch of kosher salt Pinch of freshly ground black pepper 1/2 cup grated cheese 1 tablespoon chopped scallion (optional) Instructions: Melt the butter with the herbs and scallion first, placing them in a mug in the microwave for 15 seconds. Then, add all the other ingredients, mixing well, leaving the cheese, salt and pepper to the end. Microwave for another 1 minute - and voila - breakfast is served!

5. Put your remaining egg wash to use

Egg wash is a common mixture found useful in multiple recipes, including ravioli, dumplings, and scones, to give food a glossy appearance. The thing about egg wash is that you would normally only require about a tablespoon of it, leaving plenty of extra egg mixture remaining. Don't toss this away - use it for your scrambled eggs in your next breakfast.

6. Use egg yolk to the fullest

Egg yolk contains a great deal of protein and nutrition, so if you have been using egg whites for your recipes and have some yolks left over - make sure they don't go to waste. Use them to add some more flavor to your scrambled eggs or omelets the next time you make them.  Another tip concerning egg yolk would be to separate them from the egg white when you are frying an egg.  This might sound odd, but it's a method that allows for better cooking of the egg white, while keeping the yolk runny, if that's that's your preference. To achieve this, add the yolk to the pan once the white turns opaque, and you'll have one perfect fried egg.

7. Hard boil your eggs the easy way

If the kitchen is too busy, you're out of gas, or you just don't have the right equipment to prepare your egg, it might seem impossible to think of a way to cook your eggs. However, we've got it sorted for you - simply make a hard or soft boiled egg using a coffee pot or an electric kettle. This tip can work wonders, especially if you live in a busy shared apartment, dorm, or are staying at a hotel while on vacation.

8. Know the secrets behind poached eggs   As a rule of thumb, perfect poached eggs need to be made with the freshest eggs possible. This is due to the fact that if they're not so fresh, the result will be a looser, messier poached egg. If you've happened to use an old egg, you may want to drain off the loose egg white by using a fine mesh strainer. If you're taking your poached egg with you for lunch, you don't need to eat it cold. You can warm it up using a thermos - first filled with cool water, then replaced with hot water for around 2-3 minutes before serving on top of your salad or bread.      9. Try ham and egg cups for breakfast   It's neither a fried, poached, or scrambled egg, and nor is it an omelet - it's an egg in a cup of ham. Using a muffin tin, you can create a multitude of egg-serving variations like this mouth-watering delight to kick-start your day. Here's a great and easy recipe you can use to make it: What you'll need: Handful of plum tomatoes, halved 1 clove garlic 2 slices of ham 1 tablespoon jack cheese Splash of milk 1 egg Salt & pepper Olive oil Instructions: First, preheat the oven to 375ºF. Grab a muffin tin and grease one slot (or as many as you need). Place 2 slices of ham inside, overlapping each other. Then, in a small separate pan, cook the tomatoes over the oil and garlic, on medium heat, for a few minutes. When ready, place this into the ham shell and add a splash of milk and cheese. Finally, empty a cracked egg over everything, and drizzle with salt and pepper. Your ham and egg cup will be ready for serving in 20 minutes.   10. Make more with just a muffin tin and some eggs   There's an endless list of what you can do with baked eggs. Ingredients such as cheese, chicken, ham, mushrooms, tomatoes, onions, spinach, and plenty of other interesting vegetables can give splendid results if baked with eggs in a muffin tin. Create your own little "egg muffins" to surprise your family or guests with some heavenly bites, for any meal of the day.

 A household abrasive
Use crushed eggshells and soapy water to clean the insides of containers, as well as pots and pans. Simply put the solution into the container and shake it well. Oh, and it’s eco-friendly.
 Clean your drain
 Consider keeping some crushed eggshells in your sink’s strainer – they’ll add another level of straining, and as they break down, they keep the drain and pipes clean.
Help seedlings grow
Fill shell halves with soil and add your choice of seeds, place in an egg carton and let it grow. Once the seedlings are ready, transplant them with the shell in your garden to give them fertile ground to start from.
Take the edge out of coffee
 If your coffee tastes too bitter, just add a clean, dry eggshell to your filter. The shells contain calcium carbonate, which neutralizes the acidity in the coffee, thus reducing both the bitterness and acidity levels in the coffee.
 Compost enhancer
Eggshells break down rapidly in compost piles, adding some much-needed calcium to the mix. Add the coffee grounds from #5 for even better results.

How to Grow New Vegetables from Waste

Re-grow Onions
Onions are such fantastically versatile vegetables packed full of health benefits. But the next time you prepare a bunch  for a salad or vegetable dish, don't toss the root (the hard part at the bottom of the onion) to the garbage. You can use these roots to re-grow your very own, fresh supply of onions and it couldn't be easier. All you need is the root, some pots, some dirt and some water! If you want to drop the pot, you can plant the roots directly into the ground if you prefer.


Instructions:
1. Chop off the onion bottom, being sure to save the root in good condition. The more 'bottom' you can save, the better so try to keep at least 1.5 inches.

2. Dry the onion in a well ventilated place for a couple of hours.
3. Grab your pot - one which leaves a couple of inches around each side of the onion is ideal - and fill it up with soil until it's about 2/3 full.
4. Make a indentation in the soil and plant the onion. Cover it over with 1-2 inches of soil.

5. Wait until the onion bottom has developed a few leaves, then remove it from the pot. If more than one plant develops from the root bottom, separate them by slicing between the different plants. 
6. Cut any leaves to 1/3 the size of the bulb to allow the plant to grow more easily. Replant in a larger box.



Re-grow Romaine Lettuce
Next time you chop up romaine lettuce to make a nutritious salad, consider holding on to the stalk that you would usually throw in the garbage. The reason? Well, this stalk can be classed as the 'heart' of the lettuce, and if you plant it in some water and show a little bit of patience, it will eventually grow a whole new lettuce ready to be plucked, prepared, eaten and then re-planted again:
1. Remove a few inches from the bottom or 'heart of the lettuce'.
2. Put the hearts you have collected into a container or cup and add a couple of inches of water. Each heart should be placed in its own container.
3. Wait for a few days. Make sure that the root is always fed with water, and change the water regularly.

4. Ensure that the plant is fed by light  - so place your chosen container on a window ledge.
5. Fresh lettuce will begin to sprout from the root in no time. Once it grows big enough to harvest, use it and then re-start the process.

1. Cook up Your Broccoli Leaves Broccoli is one of the healthiest vegetables you can eat, but most of us throw away the plant's leaves and stems despite the fact that they contain as many if not more nutrients than the parts we eat! Broccoli leaves are absolutely packed full of vitamin A, fantastic for good vision, cancer prevention and anti-ageing. And there's no reason to throw these leaves away because they're perfectly edible!  You can cook them like you'd cook cabbage or chop them up and stir fry them with green onions, meats or what ever ingredients you desire.

2. Put Kale Stalks to Good Use Though the majority of us throw kale stalks away, they are packed with loads of nutrition and there are plenty of recipes you can follow to put them to good use. Consider steaming the stalks for 10 minutes (after cleaning them), and then fry them in sunflower oil with chilli and garlic. You will get a delicious meal that will provide plenty of fiber and help cleanse your digestive system. If you don't have kale, broccoli stalks work just as well!

3. Turn Carrot Peels into a DIY Skin Treatment You can eat carrots with the peel on, but many of you probably peel them before boiling or roasting and discard the outer skin. However, this peel is full of goodness that can work wonders for you if you add it to your regular care and beauty regimen. Carrot oil can protect both your skin and hair from the effects of the sun and pollution, ward of dreaded signs of ageing and create silky smooth hair. Here's how you make it: 1. Wash the peel of the carrots. 2. Grate them with a hand grater or food processor. 3. Pour the mixture into a crock pot and cover with 2 1/4 cups (18oz) of water. This is the optimum amount of water, if you use about 4 or 5 peels from large carrots. 4. Set your crockpot to the lowest heat and infuse the mixture for 24-72 hours. Do not set the heat above 100 degree F (33 degree C.) 5. Once infused, strain the mixture to remove any remaining solids and place the oil in a mason jar. Refrigerate before use. The mixture will last 6-8 months if stored well.

4. Add Avocado Seed to Your Smoothies The health benefits of eating avocados are plentiful, but most us throw away the most nutritious part of this delicious fruit. The seed (also known as the stone or pit) contains around 70% of an avocado's nutritional value yet typically ends up in the trash can. It might look inedible, but it isn't - you just need to do some prep work. Chop it into quarters using a sharp knife or other tool and then blend it until it's a powder. You need to use a powerful blender and make sure it is completely enclosed. The resulting powder will be strong tasting, so mix it in well with a berry or citrus fruit smoothie to benefit from an incredible amount of nutrition!

5. Potato Peels Get Rid of Warts Potato skins can be eaten of course, but if you are boiling or roasting the veggies, then you will need to remove the skin first. The discarded peel does have its uses - and one great way you can put it into action is to rub it across a wart or skin tag to gradually diminish growth. 6. Citrus Fruit Peels For Your Smoothies If you want to benefit from all the nutritional value that your favorite citrus fruits offer, you need to start adding the part you usually throw away to your smoothies and drinks. The peel and rind contains much of the well known goodness of oranges and lemons, along with added enzymes, fiber and vitamin A. They are not very pleasant to eat, but if you mix them with berries, other citrus fruits and honeyed yogurt, then you shouldn't have a problem. It's best to make sure you only use organic oranges to ensure that the peel doesn't contain too many pesticides.   7. Make Yourself a Warming Broth The best and most complete way to re-purpose your old vegetable scraps is to create a healthy, warming broth. In days gone by, when people were much more concerned about food waste than we are now, leftovers like onion skins, carrot peels, mushroom stems, celery leaves and green onion ends would always be thrown together with some herbs and seasonings to create a super-healthy broth. This is a fantastic way to ensure you are a) not wasting food and b) benefiting from all the goodness veggies offer - onions, for example, store most of their healthiest property, quercetin, in the skin's outer layers and root of the vegetable. Here's how you make it: 1. Stir fry the vegetable scraps and skin in butter or olive oil. Use a large soup pot for the job. 2. Season the vegetables with your favorite herbs and spices. 3. Add 8 cups of water. 4. Bring the mixture to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for an hour. 5. Add any additional seasoning spices as desired. 6. Pour the mixture into a colander placed over a pot to remove the vegetable scraps. 7. Serve. 8. Experiment by Infusing Vinegar This is a great kitchen experiment that can really liven up your condiment selection! Re-use your orange and lemon peels by piling them into a pot and filling it up with vinegar. The vinegar extracts the essential oils from the peels, which takes the harsh edge off its taste and makes for a unique taste. It's not just useful for your food either - you can clean your kitchen with it. It harnesses the renowned cleaning power of both ingredients for a fragrant fluid, free of harmful chemicals.   9. Make Strawberry Leaf Tea Strawberry leaf tea is available in some health stores, but is just as easy to make yourself if you have the leaves at hand, having bought a full strawberry plant or grown one yourself. Strawberry leaves have been found to be even more successful than herbs like chamomile and rosehip in fighting dangerous free radicals in the body and drinking them in tea can also help settle an upset tummy. All you need to do to make the tea is: 1. Put 1 cup of strawberry leaves in a teapot and boil. Allow the leaves to steep. 2. Pour out the mixture, strain out the leaves (you can leave them in if you desire). 3. Add natural sweeteners like honey or Stevia, and top with cream if you prefer.   10. Re-grow the Vegetables for an Ongoing Supply of Goodness! Finally, did you know that you can actually re-grow a lot of vegetables yourself using the scraps that you would usually throw away? In general, it's really easy to do and you don't need any special skills or equipment - just a little patience can theoretically provide you with an ongoing supply of green onions, romaine lettuce or celery, for example. Onions are so wonderfully versatile, and if you save the hard root at bottom of the vegetable next time you chop one up, you can easily plant it to grow some more.

I found an easy way to peel  and chop Onion without tears. Simply put the whole onion in the microwave depending on the size and number that you want to use, anywhere between 20 sec for a big one- 1 minute for 3-4 medium onions. It is easy to peel and also when you cut no tears, also they're soft, so cooked faster !

Ingredients
peanuts roasted  1 1/2 cups
oats  1/2 cups
sesame seeds   1/2 cup
jaggery/ gur  1 cup
water little

Method

roast peanuts, sesame seeds and oats separately on slow flame, cool and powder them coarsely
In a pan,  add water and jaggery, once jaggery melts, strain to remove the impurities, then cook till ball consistency, i.e., when you put little syrup in water, you'ld be able to roll it into a ball, which should be soft, remove, add the powdered ingredients, mix well quickly, while still warm roll into small balls.

By chance you're not able to roll all at once, if your syrup is too thick, don't worry, I cooked 2 small carrots grated with little milk and sugar, once the mixture was thick, I added what I'ld not  roll, mixed well, then rolled into balls, then I kept these rolled with carrot and milk in the fridge, so it will not get bad. It tasted good, all the ladies to whom I distributed for Navarathri I liked it, as it is healthy and tasty too. It is rich in iron, calcium, fibre, protein.

Surprising Uses for Beer

 Make a Delicious, Tenderizing, Toxin-Fighting Marinade
Of course, there are various ways you can cook with beer, and marinating your meat before you throw it on the grill is one of the best. It works with any meat and you can be creative by using other ingredients such as marmalades, hams, soy sauce and fruit to add an extra dash of flavor. It will not only add taste, but also soften the meat better than industrial tenderizers. As an added bonus, it will fight the harmful toxins released when you cook meat over charcoal.
 Polish Your Pots
In the past, breweries used beer dregs to clean copper vats, and for good reason. Again, the gentle acidity of beer makes it great for this job - it will shine up pots without staining the metal. Try buffing a small area of the pot using beer dabbed on a cloth, and see how much of a difference it makes.
 Loosen Rusty Bolts
Rust is an enemy of us all and can cause metal fasteners to become permanently fixed to their host hardware. If you've ever tried to wrench out a bolt that is stuck firmly in place, you will be glad for some help, and here's where a splash of beer can come in handy. Apply it, leave it for a few minutes to allow the carbonation to break down the rust and then try and remove the screw again.
 Liven Up Rice
If you haven't tried beer soaked rice, then you have missed out on a tasty treat! Add something extra to your standard long grain, jasmine or basmati rice by cooking it in a dark beer. The rice absorbs the beer and produces a lovely flavor.
 Remove Stains



Beer can be used instead of chemical cleaners if you have a stubborn tea or coffee stain on your clothing or rug. Apply the beer directly to the spot and let it soak in before washing it well with a cloth or soap (you can put clothes through the washing machine afterwards) but always spot test the fabric first.
