Indian cottage cheese

So .. this was something that i wanted to do for quite some time and i just got time to do it. Paneer or mostly called as indian cottage cheese is something like tofu . it does not taste like cheese at all (=.=)' weirdly enough .. haha

it is made from milk and there is many way to cook it and one of way to cook is with the spinach puree.


Here is the recipe to do it.

For the paneer

8 cups of Milk
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup hot water

Bring the milk to boil and turn off the heat.Then pour the mixture of lemon juice and hot water together. Keep stirring the milk, until the milk separates; the solid curds will separate from the watery whey. Pour it into a muslin cloth and rinse thru running tap water as it will take the lemon sourness. Wrap the muslin cloth on itself in order to squeeze out moisture from the curds. The more you squeeze, the firmer the resulting paneer. Leave it under a heavy saucepan for an hour or till it is firm.

For the spinach puree

Few bunch of spinach leaves
Few stalk of green chillies (up to your level of spiciness)
1 tablespoon garam masala
ginger paste
garlic paste
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon fennel seed
1 tablespoon cashew nut powder
salt pepper

In a pan, stir fry the spinach with salt and pepper.Then, blend it into puree using a food processor. Then fry the ginger, garlic , cumin and fennel seed in oil. Add the puree together with garam masala and cashew nut powder. Cook it for 10 to 15 minutes and then add the paneer. cook for another 5 minute. Whola.. u have a palak paneer.

For your information, i roughly did all the measurement. So try to adjust according to your individual taste.

HPV Vaccine

I read this article from my friend's blog (seila), so i thought of sharing the same thing, so let spread the word and create the awareness.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is a vaccine that prevents infection with certain species of human papillomavirus associated with the development of cervical cancer, genital warts, and some less common cancers (e.g., anal, vulvar, vaginal, penile). Two HPV vaccines are currently on the market: Gardasil and Cervarix. Both vaccines protect against two of the HPV types that can contribute to the development of cervical cancer, and some other genital cancers; Gardasil also protects against two of the HPV types that cause genital warts.

The vaccine, Gardasil®,is given in three shots over six-months. The vaccine is routinely recommended for 11 and 12 year old girls. It is also recommended for girls and women age 13 through 26 who have not yet been vaccinated or completed the vaccine series.

Here is some collections of my favorite images...

My waste stuff

As i promised in my previous post; to post a creative book made of waste papers and recycled newspaper. The art is bit crappy as i was rushing to do it. hehe not a excuse.. lol ~

So here is some of the pics. Mostly i used newspaper. Some of leftover color papers. The ring is the one that i used put together all my lecture notes (miss being a student.. )

Uuuu.. i used love shape as it is the easiest to do (you can see above pic).. and its global too. lol ~

*peace out*

Heatwave

Think of yummy drinks, ice creams and ice cold lemon tea during this fantastic weather. LOL !! Seriously, feel like dying (x________x) in this warm and super hot weather. I wonder how people are surviving with less water and food in Africa and India. Needless to say, we are suffering from this heat wave because of our generous contribution towards global warming.

Iced Lemon Tea

Not only its warm and all, now I have mouth ulcer which is killing me like hell. So, as usual when I get any sick I will do whatever it takes to cure it. I found few remedies for mouth ulcer, one of it that works for me was the holy basil leaves (check my previous post for detail on holy basil). Chew the leaves and drink it with water. Do these for at least 5 to 6 times per day.

Another thing you can do is to try drink cooling type drinks. For example ice lemon tea, young coconut, pudding and yogurt drinks. Basic 8 glass water per day is very important rule to follow. For this heat season, I share mango sorbet recipe which turns out to be yummy one (You do not need ice cream maker for this).

Mango Sorbet

• 3 ripe mangoes
• 200gm icing sugar
• 1 ½ lemon (juice only)

Method:
Slice the mangoes into chunks then add in the icing sugar, lemon juice and mangoes to food processor. Blend to puree. Freeze it for 2 hours. And then take it out, toss into the food processor again and blend it again. Make sure this time it is really blended. And freeze it overnight. Whola.. enjoy the mango sorbet.

*peace out*

Bye Bye ~

Last month, I pronounced death of my 160GB external HD as it suffered from few unknown injuries. Due to the injuries, the disk was unreadable thus cannot be detected as well. I mourn for the whole day. It’s just a one year old baby = (. I was really really sad. I don’t mind the HD but the content of it. I had a whole lot of collection which I haven burn yet (or backup). My software collections, Johnny’s collection, TV series collection, some pictures (most valuable thing ~) and also my complete resume too. What a fool am I !! wuuaaaaa that's why they say you can’t cry over a split milk.

REST IN PEACE

American Idol Finale.

So another round of my favorite reality star did not manage to win. First it was Allison from ANTM and now Adam Lambert. Though I still think he deserves to win but Kris Allen is just fine. The last song “No Boundaries” really suited his voice (except for high notes!!).

Pictures courtesy of americanidol.com

Anyway, the finale was really awesome, with great performances by all of the stars and the top 12 was great too. I have to say, my favorite was Black Eyed Peas and KISS with Adam Lambert performances. And for the part I hated most is definitely Tatiana, she is so annoying. But was it hoax or real for the finale show (the part she grabs mike from Ryan and started to sing). But most of the audience had their shocked face on. Whatever is it…I hate her. Ha-ha.

Plus, one the moment i liked was the kara vs bikini girl moment.. that was fun.lol. somehow kara show her where she stands.. and also bikini does not help you to achieve all.. hahah

Hope Adam Lambert will release his single soon… can’t wait

Garbage enzyme

I have posted earlier about making our world a better place (GOING GREEN). Well I really meant it about it. Looking back, our earth is badly hurt and we can see by all the warm climates, diseases and polluted airs.

I kept to my promises; I did my small part by trying the garbage enzyme. Not only that, I manage to brainwash my aunties to do it too. Also, I shared with them about the environmental issues and what we can do to save it. I am really serious about these things. It’s scary if you really think of our future.

So here is it, prove of the garbage enzyme. It has to be kept for 3 month before we can really use it. I’ve kept mine for two months. I update about it once I have really used it. See, you do not really need to do something big, start from something small and evolve from that. You can make a difference. Trust me.

Simple thing we can do:-

1. Recycle your papers. I used my lecture notes to print other stuff on the back of the paper. I used some the used paper to create a small notebook (will update in my next blog).


2. Use old newspapers to clean your window, it is really clean. I tried it! But you might want to use gloves (do use the plastic one (reduce plastics), use the knitted type.) because the ink might absorb to your fingernails.


3. Try to clean your fans regularly. The dust makes it to use more power to spin. If you clean it you get a breezy air. At the same time, reduce the power consumption.


4. “STAND BY” mode you pc’s or lappie whenever you are not using it. Less power consumption.

Really hope we can make difference and save the earth.

So unfair ANTM!!

Oh my god !!! ALIEN TEYONA won antm cycle 12..horrible. I think Tyra should really pick one she likes and make her top model, she don need a show cause at the end she pick who she likes. Allison deserve better. She improved alot. Whatever!
