mom s chutney & sambhar recipe ,i m loving it

02 Apr 07 02:26:48 GMT

my mom s sambhar recipe (mind you , she never used sambhar powder available off the shelf , said the sambhar tastes good only when the sambhar powder is ground fresh

6-7 Drumsticks pieces
1 Potato
1 Egg plant
1 Carrot
10-12 French beans
1/2 Onions
2 Tomatoes-
100 gms pumpkin

Spices for Sambar Masala
2 tsp urad dal
1 tsp corainder seeds
1/2 tsp Jeera
1/8 tsp or a pinch of methi seeds
4-5 peppercorns
1/2 inch turmeric root or 1/8 tsp turmeric powder
5 hot red chillies
2 mild byadagi chillies, optional- this gives dark red colour
1 chick pea sized hing

For seasoning
1 tsp mustard seeds
1 sprig curry leaves
2 tbsp chopped cilantro, optional

To start with you will cook 1/2 cup tuvar dal in the pressure

cooker.
Soak 1 inch cube size tamarind in water.

While the dal is cooking you will make the Sambar masala by

roasting spices in oil.
Heat 2 tsp of oil in a round bottomed kadai. You can use the small

wok or your seasoning pan/spoon. Add urad dal and fry, when it

gets light golden brown add coriander seeds. Fry for a minute,

when it gets little darker add jeera, methi, peppercorns and

turmeric. Fry for 30 seconds, switch off the flame. Add red chillies

and hing, keep frying for a minute. Let it cool.

Grind the roasted spices along with tamarind into a smooth paste.

Chop a variety of vegetables of your choice. Tomato gives a good

taste, helps to bring out the sour-tangy taste in the Sambar. Cook

the vegetables in water except cauliflower. When the vegetables

are tender add cooked dal and the sambar paste. Add salt. Bring it

to a boil. Continue boiling for another 3-5 minutes.

Make a seasoning of mustard seeds and curry leaves and add to

the Sambar. Sprinkle chopped coriander leaves on top.

Serve with plain rice or Idli

coconut chutney -------------------------
1 cup fresh shredded coconut
5-10 green chillies
tiny piece of tamarind
tiny piece of ginger
5-6 sprigs cilantro, optional
5-10 coriander seeds, optional

For seasoning, optional
1/4 tsp mustard seeds
5-6 curry leaves

Grind coconut along with green chillies, tamarind and ginger. When

almost smooth add broken coriander seeds and continue to grind.

Take care not to heat the motor of your grinder or blender, this will

cook the coconut which we want to avoid. Transfer to a bowl.

Adjust salt.

You can season the chutney if you would like to. Splutter a few

mustard seeds in a tiny bit of oil and the fry the curry leaves in it.

Add to the chutney.

Adding coriander seeds is optional. Some people do add jeera

instead of coriander seeds. But I like the coriander seeds better.

You may also add a small clove garlic of garlic to the chutney.

))))))))))))))

Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus [baptized Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus] (b Salzburg, 1756; d Vienna, 1791). Austrian composer, keyboard-player, violinist, violist, and conductor. Son of Leopold Mozart, Vice-Kapellmeister to Prince-Archbishop of Salzburg, Mozart showed exceptional musical precocity, playing the klavier at 3 and composing at 5. His elder sister Maria Anna (1751-1829) was also a brilliant kbd. player and in 1762 Leopold decided to present his children's talents at various European courts. They first visited Munich and Vienna in 1762. Wolfgang was now able to play the vn. without having had formal teaching. In 1763 a longer journey began, from Munich, Augsburg, Frankfurt, and other cities to Cologne, Brussels, and Paris. They spent a fortnight at Louis XV's court at Versailles. In Apr. 1764 they arrived in London and were received by George III. While in London, Wolfgang studied with Abel, comp. with J. C. Bach, and singing with the castrato Manzuoli. He wrote his first 3 syms. in London. After visits to Holland and Switzerland, the Mozart family returned to Salzburg in Nov. 1766. Further visits to Vienna were made in 1767 and 1768 and Mozart comp. 2 operas, La finta semplice and Bastien und Bastienne. In Dec. 1769, Leopold took Mozart to It. where the boy's genius was everywhere acclaimed. He was taught by Martini and met Nardini, Jommelli, and Burney. In Rome he heard Allegri's Miserere and wrote it out from memory. His opera Mitridate, Rè di Ponto was successfully prod. in Milan in Dec. 1770. Two further visits to It. speedily followed, but the new prince-archbishop of Salzburg was less well-disposed towards the Mozarts and in 1777 Mozart left on a tour with his mother, Leopold not being well enough to go. They visited Munich, Augsburg, Mannheim (where he heard the famous orch.) and arrived in Paris in 1778. Mozart's mother died there in July of that year. No longer a Wunderkind, Mozart had less appeal for the Parisians, who were engrossed in the Gluck-Piccinni controversy. Unable to obtain a court post, Mozart returned to Salzburg where he spent the next 2 years as court and cath. org. amid growing hostility to the archbishop. In 1780 the Elector of Bavaria commissioned an opera from Mozart (Idomeneo), prod. in Munich, Jan. 1781. On Mozart's return to Salzburg he had a final confrontation with the archbishop and resigned. He went to Vienna, where he married Constanze Weber in Aug. 1782, a few days after the first perf. of his opera Die Entführung aus dem Serail. The last 9 years of his life were a juxtaposition of financial troubles with an astonishing outpouring of masterpieces in almost every genre. In 1785 he frequently played the va. in str. qts. with Dittersdorf and Haydn. To the latter, who regarded Mozart as the greatest composer he knew, Mozart dedicated 6 str. qts. in the autumn of 1785, when he also began work on Le nozze di Figaro. He frequently appeared as soloist in his own kbd. concs. Although Figaro was rapturously received in Vienna in 1786, it was taken off after 9 perfs., but was the rage of Prague when prod. there in 1787. During his visit to the Bohemian capital, Mozart's Sym. in D (K504, No.38) received its f.p., thereafter being known as the ‘Prague Sym’. He was subsequently commissioned to write an opera for Prague for the following autumn. The result was Don Giovanni, written in a few months while the 2 str. quintets in C major and G minor and Eine kleine Nachtmusik were also composed. In the same year Leopold Mozart died at Salzburg. The new opera was a success in Prague, but initially failed in Vienna, where it was prod. with some extra numbers in May 1788. A month later Mozart began to compose the first of his 3 last syms., completing them between 26 June and 10 Aug. In 1789, under severe financial pressure, he played a conc. in Dresden on the way to Berlin. He visited Leipzig, playing Bach's org. at St Thomas's. In Berlin King Friedrich Wilhelm II, a cellist, commissioned 6 str. qts. of which only 3 were written. In the autumn Emperor Joseph II of Austria commissioned a new comic opera, Così fan tutte, which was prod. early in 1790. Joseph died shortly afterwards, but Mozart's hope of being appointed by Leopold II Kapellmeister in place of Salieri was not fulfilled. In 1791 he was approached by the actor-manager Schikaneder with a view to composing a fairy-tale opera on a lib. concocted by Schikaneder. Die Zauberflöte was almost completed by July, the month in which Mozart received a commission to compose a Requiem for an anonymous patron (Count F. von Walsegg who wished to pass it off as his own). Mozart deferred work on it to compose an adaptation of Metastasio's La clemenza di Tito for Leopold II's coronation as King of Bohemia in Prague in Sept. This prod. was supervised by Mozart, who returned to Vienna, wrote the cl. conc., cond. the f.p. of Die Zauberflöte, and then resumed work on the Requiem. But his health, which had been deteriorating for some time, now became critical and he died on 5 Dec., leaving the Requiem to be completed by his pupil Süssmayr. He was buried in accordance with the Emperor Joseph II's regulations, with others who had died at the same time, and the location of his grave remains unknown. The circumstances of Mozart's death have given rise to many sensational theories, none proved, and there is much medical speculation on the cause of death.

The extent and range of Mozart's genius are so vast and so bewildering that any concise summing-up of his achievement must risk being trite. He took the mus. small-change of his day, learned from childhood in the courts of Europe, and transformed it into a mint of gold. His sense of form and symmetry seems to have been innate and was allied to an infallible craftsmanship which was partly learnt and partly instinctive. In his operas he not only displayed hitherto unequalled dramatic feeling, but widened the boundaries of the singer's art through contact with some of the greatest vv. of his day and, with his amazing insight into human nature, at once perceptive and detached, he created characters on the stage who may be claimed in their context as the equal of Shakespeare's. His music was supranational, combining It., Fr., Austrian, and Ger. elements. Not by revolutionary deliberation but by the natural superiority of the mus. he wrote, he changed the course of the sym., the pf. conc., the str. qt., the sonata, and much more besides. Perhaps the only element missing from his mus. is the worship of Nature which Beethoven and later 19th-cent. composers were to supply. There are brilliance and gaiety on the surface of Mozart's mus., but underneath a dark vein of melancholy which gives his works (Così fan tutte in particular) an ambivalence which is continually fascinating and provocative. ‘Mozart is music’, a critic said, and most composers since 1791 have agreed.

Bo Bice The Real Thing Lyrics
The Real Thing Lyrics: Bo Bice

Verse 1
every word I say I mean it
every single day I feel it
but sometimes when you talk
its obvious you want to show it
so don't blow it

Chorus:
tell me what we got tell me its alot tell me its the real thing
tell me not to change and always be the same tell me that's a good thing, it's a good thing
tell me not to lie tell me not to wait tell me that you want the same things as me
tell me that it's fate, driving me insane tell me its the real thing
that keeps me hanging on

Verse 2
I can read the signs between us
I feel it inside when you come nearer
there's a stillness in the air
like no one else is there
and every moment stands in the moment, yeah

Chorus:
tell me what we got tell me its alot tell me its the real thing
tell me not to change and always be the same tell me that's a good thing, it's a good thing
tell me not to lie tell me not to wait tell me that you want the same things as me
tell me that it's fate, driving me insane tell me its the real thing
that keeps me hanging on

Verse3
sometimes it hurts to watch you leave
it feels like you take a part of me with you
I never know how it'll be
I guess its just a mystery
or is it the real thing (that keeps me hangin' on)

Chorus x2:
tell me what we got tell me its alot tell me its the real thing
tell me not to change and always be the same tell me that's a good thing, it's a good thing
tell me not to lie tell me not to wait tell me that you want the same things as me
tell me that it's fate driving me insane tell me its the real thing
that keeps me hanging

Inxs Afterglow Lyrics
Here I am,
Lost in the light of the moon,
That comes through my window.

Bathed in blue,
Walls of my memory divides,
The thoughts from the roses.
It's you and the roses.

[CHORUS]
Touch me and I will follow,
In your afterglow.
Heal me from all this sorrow,
As I let you go.
I will find my way
When I see your eyes,
Now I'm living,
In your afterglow.

Here I am,
Lost in the ashes of time,
But who wants tomorrow,
In between,
Longing to hold you again,
I'm caught in your shadow.
I'm losing control.

But life drifts away,
We only have todayyy.

[CHORUS]
Touch me and I will follow,
In your afterglow.
Heal me from all this sorrow,
As I let you go.
I will find my way,
I will sacrifice,
Till' the blinding day,
When I see your eyes.

Now I'm livinggggg,
In your AFTERGLOWWW.[in your afterglow]
When the veils are gone,
As I let you go,
As I let you go.

[CHORUS]
Touch me and I will follow,
In your afterglow.
Heal me from all this sorrow,
As I let you go.
I will find my way
I will sacrifice,
Now I'm living,
In your afterglow.

Bathed in blue,
Walls of my memory divides,
The thoughts from the roses.
It's you who is closest.

simon webbe - after all this time lyrics

Simon Webbe --After All This Time Lyrics
After all, the broken stones
That were thrown, for no good reason
Inside, she's loving him still
After all this time
And though her heart bears the scars
No sign of healing, it's all right
She's loving him still, after all this time.

Ohh yeahh

[Chorus:]
Trying to push the past away
Still waiting for the lights to change
Try, try for the sake of their pride, pride
Learning to barely feel the pain
Thicker the skin, the less the strain
And though it's really hurting
She ain't breaking, breaking, breaking
Coz she's loving him still
After all this time

Now he knows his weakness shows
Selfish soul, never changing
That's fine, because she's loving him still
After all this time

And to the outside eye
You see a family getting by
And it all seems perfect, and that's how she wants it
Coz she's loving him still, after all this time.

[Chorus]

After all this time....
After all, after all, after all this time

Bones have to grow, and age it shows
Though we try and hide it
Inside, she's loving him still
After all this time

And behind his tired eyes, she sees the boy with his arms wide
Who made her feel like an angel
Oh, that's why she's loving him still
For the rest of her life, she's loving him still
For the last of many miles
She's loving him still
After all this time
