How COOK INDIAN CHICKEN KARRI

Ingredients


  • 900g boneless chicken breast fillets
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 125ml cooking oil
  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh root ginger
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander

  • Method


    1. Sprinkle the chicken breasts with 2 teaspoons salt.
    2. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over high heat; partially cook the chicken in the hot oil in batches until completely browned. Transfer the browned chicken breasts to a plate and set aside.
    3. Reduce the heat under the frying pan to medium-high; add the onion, garlic, and ginger to the oil remaining in the frying pan and cook and stir until the onion turns translucent, about 8 minutes. Stir the curry powder, cumin, turmeric, coriander, cayenne and 1 tablespoon of water into the onion mixture; allow to heat together for about 1 minute while stirring. Mix the passata, yogurt, 1 tablespoon chopped coriander and 1 teaspoon salt into the mixture. Return the chicken breast to the frying pan along with any juices on the plate. Pour 125ml water into the mixture; bring to the boil, turning the chicken to coat with the sauce. Sprinkle the garam masala and 1 tablespoon coriander over the chicken.
    4. Cover the frying pan and simmer until the chicken breasts are no longer pink in the centre and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the centre should read at least 74 degrees C. Sprinkle with lemon juice to serve.

PAKISTAN INDIAN FROWKS


MAA MAA HOTI HAY


ایک عورت تھی، اسکو دماغ کا سرطان تھا۔ بیچاری بہت بیمار رہتی تھی، اسکا ایک ہی بیٹا تھا، وہ اپنے بیٹے سے بہت محبت کرتی تھی، لیکن بیٹا ماں پر کوئی خاص توجہ نہ دیتا۔
ایک دن ماں کی طبیعت بہت زیادہ خراب ہوگئی، بیٹا گھر پر موجود نہ تھا، ماں نے بڑی مشکل سے محلہ میں سے ایک عورت کو بُلایا جو اُسے ہسپتال لے کر گئی۔
یٹے کو اطلاع دی گئی تو وہ فوراً ہسپتال پہنچا۔
اب اُسے شدید ندامت اور شرمندگی کا احساس ہوا کہ ایسے وقت میں بھی وہ ماں سے غافل تھا جب اُس کی ماں کو اُس کی شدید ضرورت تھی۔
وہ بہت رویا لیکن اب تقدیر کا فیصلہ کچھ اور ہی تھا۔
اسکی ماں کا انتقال ہوگیا۔
بیٹے کو احساس شرمندگی نے کچل کر رکھ دیا کہ وہ آخری وقت میں بھی اپنی ماں کے پاس نہ تھا اور بیٹے کے ہوتے ہوئے اُسکی ماں کو پڑوسی نے ہسپتال پہنچایا۔
وہ روتا رہا، دن بھر روتا رہا۔ یہاں تک کہ اس کی طبیعت خراب ہوگئی۔
وہ ماں کے کمرے میں گیا اور ماں کی الماری کھولی،
تو اندر کچھ دوائیں ایک کاغذ میں لپٹی ہوئی تھیں۔
اس نے کاغذ کھولا تو اُس پر لکھا ہوا تھا:
"بیٹا! یہ دوائیں کھا لینا، مجھے معلوم ہے کہ زیادہ رونے سے تمہاری طبیعت خراب ہوجاتی ہے۔"

Ashfaq Ahmed


مجھے وہ بات یاد آ رہی ہے جو شاید میں نے ٹی وی پر ہی سنی ہے کہ ایک اخبار کے مالک نے اپنے اخبار کی اُس کاپی کے ٹکڑے ٹکڑے کر دیے جس میں دنیا کا نقشہ تھا ۔ اور اس نقشے کو 32 ٹکڑوں میں تقسیم کر دیا ۔ اور اپنے پانچ سال کے کمسن بیٹے کو آواز دے کر بلایا اور اس سے کہا کہ لو بھئی یہ دنیا کا نقشہ ہے جو ٹکڑوں میں ہے اس جوڑ کر دکھاؤ ۔ اب وہ بیچارہ تمام ٹکڑے لے کر پریشان ہو کے بیٹھ گیا ۔ کیونکہ اب سارے ملکوں کے بارے میں کہ کون کہاں پر ہے میرے جیسا بڑی عمر کا آدمی بھی نہیں جانتا ہے ۔ وہ کافی دیر تک پریشان بیٹھا رہا ۔ لیکن کچھ دیر بعد اس نے تمام کا تمام نقشہ درست انداز میں جوڑ کر اپنے باپ کو دے دیا ۔ اس کا باپ بڑا حیران ہوا اور کہا کہ بیٹا مجھے اس کا راز بتا کیونکہ اگر مجھے اس نقشے کو جوڑنا پڑتا تو میں نہیں جوڑ سکتا تھا ۔ 
اس پر اس لڑکے نے کہا کہ بابا جان میں نے دنیا کا نقشہ نہیں جوڑا بلکہ نقشے کی دوسری طرف سیفٹی بلیڈ کا ایک اشتہار تھا اور اس میں ایک شخص کا بڑا سا چہرہ تھا جو شیو کرتا دکھایا گیا تھا ۔ میں نے سارے ٹکڑوں کو الٹا کیا اور اس آدمی کو جوڑنا شروع کیا اور چار منٹ کی مدت میں میں نے پورا آدمی جوڑ دیا ۔ اس لڑکے نے کہا کہ بابا اگر آدمی جڑ جائے تو ساری دنیا جڑ جائے گی ۔

Top 10 Military Operation Names

War has been a major part of history. Independence has been won and lost through battle; revolutions subdued; different groups and denominations crushed. However, during these large-scale battles, several small operations are performed to help pile up victories for each respective side. Operations are held by police forces outside of warfare, as well (DEA, FBI, etc.). Each operation has a name to go along with it. Some of these names are quite interesting. This is a top ten list of the greatest military operation names of all time. Here we go.
10
Operation Magic Carpet
D822-095 Zoltan Kluner 1949 - Yemenite Immigrants Outside Dining Hall
In June 1945, the United States of America launched Operation Magic Carpet to return over eight million Americans back to their homeland, and out of Pacific and European theaters that saw war. The name of the operation is rather simplistic, but it speaks volumes about the glory of leaving a devastated region of the world for your homeland, and how peaceful the idea can be. The men were being transported on a “magic carpet” back to their safe-haven of America, and this is truly an interesting operation name. A European variation of Operation Magic Carpet was launched in 1946 to rescue European soldiers in foreign lands.

Operation Desert Storm

Taking place in 1991, Operation Desert Storm was the operative name for the Persian Gulf War. While the name may not be the most interesting of them all, it is quite intriguing. The title shows what the United States planned on doing in Iraq: unleashing a desert storm. Bombs, ammunition, and artillery would be deployed, and the sand in the deserts would create a massive storm as a result. That’s at least what I surmise from it. While I am fascinated with this operation name, there are a few others that I find to have a much better title.
8
Operation Bayonet Lightning
2551B68399F2407Fa91Eb4Bb71F7 Grande
Lasting for only sixteen hours in December 2003, this operation was performed to seize any weapons or materials in certain villages in Iraq that could pose a threat to coalition forces during the War on Terrorism. This is one of those military operations that has quite an interesting title. I honestly could not imagine what this has to do with the actual actions the soldiers had to perform; the only idea I could conjure is if they were seizing these harmful weapons so quickly, it was like lightning. In warfare, operations have to be performed somewhat effectively. Putting “lightning” in the title may lead to some inspiration for the soldiers involved. Overall, this is one of the better operation names, and also one of the most recent. Kudos for a great choice of words.
7
Operation Valiant Guardian
Iraq-War
This may seem a little ridiculous, but this is yet again, another operation pulled from a conflict involving the United States, coalition forces, and Iraq. This operation was launched to uncover insurgents and weaponry to ensure the safety of soldiers fighting in Iraq. The idea of the people involved in this operation being known as “valiant guardians” gives insight into the purpose of the plan: to simply protect our troops. However, by using the term “valiant,” this also shows the true power of the forces that the Iraqi forces are fighting against; the battle that they are embroiled in will not be an easy one to win when your opponents believe they have a grand level of valiance. I digress. All in all, this operation name definitely ranks as one of the best in history.
6
Operation Urgent Fury
82Grenadakids
In 1983, the United States, supported by other Caribbean island nations, invaded the island of Grenada because of a military coup that had occurred in the country. This invasion was codenamed Operation Urgent Fury. Plain and simple, fast and furious aggression was needed to subdue the revolution in Grenada, and that is exactly what the United States did. It is tough to explain why this operation name caught my eye, but then again, it is a very interesting title. The “fury” portion of this name is what really intrigued me. Urgency is a given in any invasion, but fury is a totally different monster in itself. Fury is dangerous on all levels. When someone is furious, you know their anger/rage is at a near-maximum level. Anyway, Operation Urgent Fury definitely ranks as one of the best operation names of alltime. Don’t like it? Well, it’s not anything to get furious about.
5
Operation Eagle Claw
Hostage.184.1.Bw
Leave it to Jimmy Carter to order an operation that would fail miserably. Operation Eagle Claw was performed to try and rescue the Americans that were being held amidst the Iran Hostage Crisis. Eight helicopters were sent out, and none of them returned. One crashed into the helicopter carrying fuel and supplies for the other six, and once that was downed, the remaining ones were left helpless in the air. Sure, Operation Eagle Claw was a failure. However, its title is one of the greatest of all time. The Americans, whose symbol is the eagle, were going to use their “claw” (helicopters) to rescue the innocent hostages. A very American name for an operation, yes, but that does not take away from its amazing quality. The only aspect that could have changed its position on the list? Perhaps, if it was actually a success… but it all worked out for the best anyway, so I think it is fine at number five.
4
Operation Crescent Wind
Two-A-10-Thunderbolt-Iis-In-Flight-Over-Afghanistan
What better way to follow-up a miserable failure, then with a success. In October and November of 2001, almost immediately after the terrorist attacks on 9/11, British and American air forces led strikes in Afghanistan attempting to weaken the Taliban. This led the way for further ground campaigns that continually weakened the government and Taliban as well. The name of this operation? Operation Crescent Wind. The title of this operation is pretty incredible. The wind is created by the bombing from the skies; and the crescent not only applies to the crescent moon, a symbol of Islam, but also the fact that the area that Afghanistan is situated in was once referred to as the Fertile Crescent. A heap of historical references in one simple operation name. Stunning, is it not? Anyway, I am definitely a major fan of this operation title. A great way to kick-off a war that still continues to this day.

Operation Spartan Scorpion

The “War on Terrorism” must be a topic that you are sick of by this point on the list, but there have been some pretty interesting titles from this time period. Operation Spartan Scorpion was launched in June 2003 to help clear the Iraqi countryside of remaining non-compliant forces and paramilitary groups that wanted to harm coalition forces. This title is a dynamic duo of harrowing power. A Spartan, in itself, is a terrifying creature. These ancient Greek soldiers were well-known for their propensity for fighting to the death, and a scorpion is an animal that can kill various other creatures in numerous ways. Essentially, this title was assigned to the operation to show that the forces fighting would be merciless in conducting their warfare. Two prolific death-bringers put into one operation name is sure to strike fear into the opponent. If I was fighting against an operation titled “Spartan Scorpion,” I would feel one thing coursing through my veins: terror.

Operation Overlord
Ae167944 Ggdday06
Nearly ever history buff has heard of this one. June 6, 1944: the largest amphibious invasion of all time. 160,000 troops crossing the English Channel to try and take back German-occupied western Europe for the Allies. Most people know this event as D-Day, or the Battle of Normandy. The official title for this invasion was Operation Overlord. An overlord, by definition, is someone who has authority over another person or group. This operation was most likely given this title to show the Germans who was the more powerful side during World War II. The French, who were a part of the Allies, were the rightful overlords of the land of Normandy and its surrounding areas, and were going to fight to take it back. This was truly a turning point in the war, and from here-on-out, the Allies really did appear to be overlords in almost every battle. Less than one year later, in April 1945, the Germans surrendered to the overlords, and this portion of the war had ended. “Overlord” is truly representative of how power and momentum was swung back in the Allies’ favor, and the war took on a different look from there-on-out.

Operation Rolling Thunder
Rolling Thunder
Lasting from March 1965 until November 1968, Operation Rolling Thunder was a lengthy, aerial bombardment performed by the United States on North Vietnam. Sure, it was much like “Operation Eagle Claw,” in the aspect that it was a colossal failure, but unlike the aforementioned plan, its title was much more indicative of its murderous intentions. Essentially, Operation Rolling Thunder was initiated to emaciate the Northern Vietnamese land, and to try and force the Viet Cong out of its holes and hills that helped them elude being caught. The idea of rolling thunder is terrifying, especially when the “thunder” portion of the term is a seemingly-endless bombardment that lasted for years. The operation was named as such because the bombs would just keep “rolling” and never stop. This gave a quality to the operation that made it seem as if it was perpetual. Again, while the bombardment was a failure, and did not accomplish its goals, the North Vietnamese land was completely destroyed as a result. Over three years of constant bombing is quite a bit for a small territory to handle, and it must have truly seemed endless during the time. Congratulations to Operation Rolling Thunder: while it was one of the biggest failures in the overall mistake that was the Vietnam War, it also has the greatest name for any operation in all of history.
