Recipe alert
If you too love a delicious little Gujarati snack every now and then, here we have for you, the most convenient khandvi recipe you could possibly come across!
Ingredients: Gram flour (besan) - 1 cup, dahi - 1/2 cup, water - 2 cups, turmeric powder - 1/2tsp, salt to taste, asafoetida (hing) - a pinch, crushed green chillies - on the basis of your spice tolerance; For tempering — mustard seeds - 1tsp, sesame seeds - 1tsp, slit green chillies - a few, curry leaves - sprig, chopped coriander leaves - a handful
Method: In a big mixing bowl, sift the gram flour and add in the dahi and water. Go in with the turmeric powder and salt and whisk together till there are no lumps. Now add the crushed green chillies and give another good whisk, before straining the mixture through a sieve once again to get rid of the chilli bits. Now add this to a pan and keep whisking on heat. The mixture is bound to start thickening significantly — you are to wait to have it reach a point where it feels gelatinous. A good way to check would be to take some of the mixture on the spatula and spread it on the back of a steel bowl. Wait for a few second before trying to peel it — if it rolls off, the way a khandvi is supposed to, your mixture is ready. But till it isn't, don't stop whisking.
Pour out the mixture onto a tray and and let it cool down to room temperature before chopping into cubes. Now in a separate pan, heat some oil followed by mustard seeds, sesame seeds, slit chillies and curry leaves. Add in the khandvi cubes and give it a good toss before serving.

Congress demands review of India's defence preparedness by independent committee: Kharge after CDS Anil Chauhan's remark
Mallikarjun Kharge, Congress' President and Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha, on Saturday announced that Congress demands a comprehensive review of India's Defence Preparedness by an independent expert committee after remarks of Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) in Singapore. "Congress party demands a Comprehensive Review of our Defence Preparedness by an independent expert committee, on the lines of the Kargil Review Committee," said Kharge in a statement on X. Chief of Defence Staff of the Indian Armed Forces General Anil Chauhan on Saturday categorically rejected Pakistan's claims that it had shot down six Indian warplanes during Operation Sindoor, calling the information "absolutely incorrect". by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Thị trường có dấu hiệu suy thoái không?

Kharge in his statement said "As per CDS's interview, "we made, remedy it, rectify it, and then implement it again after two days and flew all our jets again, targeting at long range". We salute their resolute courage and bravery. However, a comprehensive strategic review is the need of the hour." — kharge (@kharge) Live Events "These can only be asked if a Special Session of the Parliament is immediately convened. The Modi Govt has misled the nation. The fog of war is now clearing. Our IAF pilots were risking their lives fighting the enemy. We have suffered some losses, but our pilots were safe. Additionally, Kharge demanded answers on United States' President Donald Trump's remarks on his role in brokering ceasefire between India and Pakistan. "Instead of clarifying Mr. Trump's repeated assertions, and the affidavit filed by US Secretary of Commerce in the United States Court of International Trade, PM Modi is on an election blitz, taking PERSONAL CREDIT for the valour of our Armed Forces, hiding behind their bravery and dodging the contours of the agreed CEASEFIRE, which the Foreign Secretary announced on 10th, after Mr. Trump's tweet. Is India and Pakistan now again hyphenated? What are the conditions of the CEASEFIRE agreement?" said Kharge in his statement.

'The first hundred days of our government have been transformative. Significant work has been accomplished, reflecting a clear shift since the BJP assumed power in Delhi after twenty-seven years. This change has led to a proactive, working government that inspires hope and confidence among the people. We hold the key to Delhi's development, and I am confident that the city will progress under our leadership,' he said. He credited Chief Minister Rekha Gupta for demonstrating strong willpower in driving Delhi's development while criticising the AAP for continuing to suppress public voices in the Assembly. 'The achievements in these hundred days demonstrate how effectively the system has functioned and how it has won the trust of the people. Restoring faith in governance for the development of Delhi's citizens was a critical task. Our Chief Minister, Rekha Gupta, has proven that with strong willpower, the path to progress becomes clear and achievable,' he said. Targeting the opposition, he added, 'The AAP's approach remains unchanged. They continue to suppress the voices of the people in the Assembly, as is evident. In contrast, our government, in just a hundred days, has set a living example of effective governance.' Following the completion of 100 days in office as the Chief Minister of Delhi, Rekha Gupta said that it was not just a responsibility but a 'politics centred on public service, and policies that are for public welfare.' In her 'X' post, Rekha Gupta mentioned that in 100 days, her government has worked towards fulfilling every promise, and her priority was also clear: 'development that can be seen as well as felt.'

She further thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his vision of 'Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas'. 'When you gave me the opportunity to serve Delhi, it was not just a responsibility but a resolve to have 'politics centred on public service, and policies that are for public welfare.' In these 100 days, we have worked effectively towards realising every promise. Our priority was clear - development that can be seen as well as felt. Cleanliness, security, women empowerment and e-governance on every front, we have endeavoured to make Delhi a strong, safe and inclusive capital. This has been possible only due to the inspiration, guidance and vision of 'Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas' of the respected Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. The trust of the people of Delhi is my biggest strength. The foundation of change has been laid, and the pace of development will not stop now. Delhi will now continue to move forward with the resolve of good governance and service', the 'X' post said. (ANI)

"Brave daughters of BSF displayed exceptional valour": PM Modi praises women's contribution in Operation Sindoor
Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh) [India], May 31 (ANI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday praised the women personnel for their contribution during Operation Sindoor and said that the Border Security Force's 'brave daughters' displayed exceptional valour. Addressing the 'Lokmata Devi Ahilyabai Mahila Sashaktikaran Mahasammelan' in Bhopal, PM Modi emphasised that during the worship of Shakti, we offer sindoor, which today has become a symbol of India's valour. 'In Pahalgam, terrorists not only shed the blood of Indians, but they also attacked our culture. They tried to divide our society. These terrorists have challenged the women's power of India -- a challenge that has now turned into a nightmare for the terrorists and their handlers,' he said. 'Operation Sindoor is India's largest and most successful counter-terrorism operation. Our forces destroyed terrorist hideouts in places that even Pakistan's army had never imagined. This operation made it loud and clear that proxy wars through terrorism will no longer be tolerated. Now, we will strike even inside enemy territory, and those who support terrorists will also pay a heavy price,' PM Modi asserted. Further, the Prime Minister asserted that Operation Sindoor has also become a symbol of India's 'Nari Shakti'. 'Now, 140 crore Indians are saying: If you fire bullets, be ready for a response with bombs. Operation Sindoor has also become a symbol of 'Naari Shakti. We all know how significant the role of the BSF (Border Security Force) was in this operation. BSF's daughters were holding the front lines from Jammu to Punjab, Rajasthan, and the Gujarat border. They gave a strong reply to cross-border firing. From the Command and Control Centre to destroying enemy posts, the brave daughters of the BSF displayed exceptional valour,' he said. Prime Minister Modi also emphasised that from schools to battlefields, the nation today has unprecedented trust in the courage of its daughters. 'For the first time, the doors of Sainik Schools have been opened to girls. Before 2014, only 25% of NCC cadets were girls, but now that number is heading toward 50%. The first batch of women cadets has passed out from the National Defence Academy (NDA). Today, women are being deployed in frontline positions in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. From flying fighter planes to serving on INS Vikrant, women officers are demonstrating outstanding bravery,' PM Modi said. Highlighting his government's initiatives for women's empowerment, the Prime Minister said that there was a time when women were kept away from new technologies. 'But today, the government is making efforts so that our women lead the way in modern tech. In agriculture, a drone revolution is happening. Through the NaMo Drone Didi initiative, the confidence and income of rural women are rising. Today, a large number of our daughters are becoming doctors, engineers, and scientists. In all of our major space missions, our mothers and sisters are working as scientists. In the Chandrayaan-3 mission, over 100 women scientists and engineers were involved,' he said. (ANI)
