Has this ever happened to you? After days of procrastination, you finally decide today is the day to dive into your studies, and BAM! Your relatives storm in like it's a family reunion! Suddenly, you’re forced to do dishes, do dusting, and help your mother in kitchen. Yup, that was my day! Just when I had my study plans all set, the universe threw a curveball and said, "Not today!" 😭

But still, I revised the Living World chapter, which had somehow slipped my mind. With beautiful sunset view from my window.

P. S :- feeling guilty😫

Episode 1

CHILLI POTATO

My Absolute Favourite

🎀Ingredients

One potato.

One onion.

One tomato.

One capsicum.

4-5 cloves of garlic.

Ketchup.

Laal mirch powder.

Soya sauce (optional).

Step 1 : Cutting Vegetables

Cut potoato in French fries shape (idk what that shape is called. Rectangle? Dk!)

Slice onions , tomato and capsicum.( Do not finely chop it , it will ruin the whole taste)

Peel the garlic and then finely chop it.

Step 2 : Preparation

Fry the potato in pan or you can just deep fry it like we do with french fries but if you wanna use less oil ,I suggest you to just fry it in a pan with little bit of oil. (Or you can always air fry it! >.<)

Pour ketchup in a small bowl and add finely chopped garlic in it.

You can also add chilli flakes, oregano, soya sauce in it.

Step 3 : The Final

Grab a kadhai and add some oil in it then add sliced onion and tomato. Then after 1 min add capsicum ( let it stay a bit raw because it tastes good like that).

After adding all the vegetables add some laal mirch , haldi if you want but add just q pinch.(or as you wish)

Then add the ketchup and garlic mixture that we created earlier and give it a good mix.

After that you can turn off the stove and add our fried potato.

Adding the potato at last makes it stay a bit crunchy. It eventually gets soggy but tastes good.

Step 4 : Done

Appreciate yourself and eat with pride and joy and happiness!!❤️❤️

Love you alll!✨

P.s - this is my version of chilli potato. I try to keep it a bit healthy and avoid adding sauces and vinegars.

Otherwise there are many videos on YouTube that you can follow.

Peace ✌🏻

Yayyyy!! Congoo guysss!! We did it!! 🩵🇮🇳

Today was a great day! I took a break from studying and watched the entire match from start to finish. It was my first time doing so, and it was definitely worth it.

What. A. Match!

Today was supposed to be a study break, but it turned out to be so much more. A cozy dinner of dal chawal and India winning the ICC Champion Trophy - it doesn't get better than this!

There was a moment when I doubted our chances( Virat's unexpected one-run play and the way whole stadium went quite). But Shreyas and Rahul and Hardik turned the game around!

And let's not forget the incredible performances by Varun, Kuldeep, Jadeja, and Axar!

And OFC! Rohit!🫡

What a day, what a match!

P.S - Santner looked damn hot!😭

Long time, no see?

Getting back on track! Life got busy, but I'm refocusing on my priorities. Studying and personal growth are back at the top of my list.

It's time for a fresh start. Balancing responsibilities and academics won't be easy, but I'm up for the challenge.

Things I managed to do today-

Revised Anatomy Of Flowering Plants from these beautiful notes of Vipin sir.

Half-Complete Periodic Table Chapter.

Here's to new beginnings and making progress, one step at a time! 🥂

The start doesn't matter but the ending does!✨

gentle reminder you can rise up from everything. you can recreate yourself. nothing is permanent. you are not stuck. you have choices. you can think new thoughts. you can learn something new. you can create new habits. all that matters is that you decide today and never look back.

Completed Mole concept chapter's revision from ummeed batch.

Half completed frog from one shot of samapti ma'am.

Didn't do much yesterday because my sister who is pregnant was at home.So I have to take care of her and do all the housework. My mother also got sebaceous cyst removed from her back so all work was on me. Well, I tried to get some work done. ✅

you don’t need perfect conditions to start. you just need to start. five minutes of focus is better than waiting for motivation to come.

Episode 2

SOYABEAN FRIED RICE

Accidentally favourite.

Ingredients 🎀

Soyabeans (quantity depends on your serving, so take accordingly).

One onion.

One capsicum.

Green chilli.

Cabbage. (Less quantity)

Ginger-garlic paste.

Steamed / cooked rice.

Coriander (opt.).

1 tbs soya sauce.

Laal mirch.

Salt.

First cook your rice then start with the following steps.

Step 1 : Basic preparation

Soak the soyabean in warm water with a bit of salt for at least 15-20 mins, until you feel they are soft.

Drain water fully from soyabeans and then add ginger-garlic paste , laal mirch. Give it a good mix and then add 4-5 spoon of oil into the pan and fry them till they are crispy.

You can also deep fry it.

Step 2 : Cutting

Cut onion and capsicum into small pieces.

Finely cut the cabbage.

Cut corriander.

Chop small pieces of green chilli .

Step 3 : Pan enters

In the same pan in which you fried the soyabeans, add green chillies, ginger-garlic paste and give it a good stir.

After add chopped onion and fry until it turns golden.

Then add cabbage and let it get a bit softer.

Then add finely chopped capsicum. (We are adding it after onions and cabbage to give them a little crunch)

After add 1 tbs soya sauce, laal mirch, a bit haldi, salt and a pinch of black pepper if required.

Then add our cooked rice and give it a good mix.

Tada!✨ Your soyabean fried rice is ready! Serve hot!

You can add any vegetables of your choice. I personally prefer these only. Carrots give good flavor too.
