Holige

Ganesha Chaturthi special: Coconut puran poli

Worldwide people believe that  Lord Ganesha removes obstacles in our life. Ganesha Chaturthi will be celebrated everywhere next week and to celebrate people cook various types of dishes. Apart from kadabu (kolakatte), modaka and numkins people also offer coconut poli or holige to Lord Ganesha.  Holige or poli is coconut and jaggery stuffed flat bread and a festival specialty in South of India.

If you wish to prepare poli, here is simple recipe for you.

 Ingredients:

  1. All purpose floor – 1 cup
  2. Vegetable Oil – 2 tbsp
  3. Turmeric Powder – ½ tsp
  4. Grated Jaggery – ½ cup
  5. Fresh grated Coconut – ½ Cup
  6. Powdered cardamom – 2
  7. Poppy seeds – 1 tsp
  8. Ghee – 1 tsp

Preparation: 

(Preparation time: 1 hour)

  1. Add all purpose flour and turmeric powder in a mixing bowl. Add little oil and knead the dough.
  2. Now, add little water and prepare a soft dough. Consistency should be close to chapati/roti dough. Keep it aside for couple of hours.
  3. In a pan add 3 spoons of water and add jaggery. Heat it under medium flame. As jaggery melts, add coconut and ghee. Mix well using a spoon.
  4. When the contents start thickening add cardamom powder, poppy seeds and mix well. Remove the puran from the heat source and allow it to cool down.
  5. Take the dough and make small balls. Flatten the balls using your palm and roll to a small size.
  6. Place a portion of the coconut puran in the center of  the rolled dough and cover/close it from all the corner. Do not fill excessive puran (otherwise, when you roll further puran will leak out of the dough).
  7. Roll the stuffed puran to a flat bread by dusting little flour to chapati size.
  8. Transfer it to a tava on medium heat and cook on both sides.
  9. Offer it to Ganesha and serve to family/friends with melted ghee or coconut milk!

Willy Wonka

Willy Wonka – Gene Wilder’s best quotes

Gene Wilder the star of the movies “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” and “Stir Crazy,” died this Monday morning. He was a talented comic actor and had an impressive career. Wilder’s rule for comedy was very simple: Don’t try to make it funny; try to make it real. Like his movies, his quotes are also very popular and teach valuable lessons needed for life and personal development.

Here are best quotes of Gene Wilder (on and off screen)

  1. “I never used to believe in fate. I used to think you make your own life and then you call it fate. That’s why I call it irony.”
  2. “So my idea of neurotic is spending too much time trying to correct a wrong. When I feel that I’m doing that, then I snap out of it.”
  3. “If you’re not gonna tell the truth, then why start talking?”
  4. Time is a precious thing. Never waste it.” —Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory
  5. “The big catalyst was seeing my sister, when I was 11, doing a dramatic recital. When I saw her on the stage and everyone listening to her so patiently, quietly, that’s all I wanted: for someone to look at me and listen to me, but in some beautiful and artistic way.”
  6. “I didn’t set out to shock. I said, ‘Just tell the truth’ and see how it comes out. I used to be a milksop, beat around the bush, not speak frankly. Now everyone says, ‘Don’t ask Gene, because he’ll tell you.’ ”
  7. “I started writing, just casually writing, the ironies in my life—the strange accidents that turned the corner of where my life was going to.”
  8. “On stage or in the movies I could do whatever I wanted to. I was free.”
  9. “Well, you know, success is a terrible thing and a wonderful thing. If you can enjoy it, it’s wonderful. If it starts eating away at you and they’re waiting for more from me, or what can I do to top this, then you’re i”Invention, my dear friends, is 93 percent perspiration, 6 percent electricity, 4 percent evaporation and 2 percent butterscotch ripple.” — Willy Wonka (Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory)
  10. “The suspense is terrible… I hope it’ll last.” — Willy Wonka (Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory)
  11. “So much time and so little to do. Wait a minute. Strike that. Reverse it. Thank you.” — Willy Wonka (Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory)
  12. “Well, my name is Jim, but most people call me… Jim.” — Jim (Blazing Saddles)
  13. “No, it’s pronounced ‘Fronkensteen.'” — Dr. Frankenstein (Young Frankenstein)
  14. “I’m not going to the toilet, I’m going to showbiz!” — Leo Bloom (The Producers)
  15. “Just do what you love. That’s all I want to do.”
  16. “It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.” —The Little Prince
