Day 2 of getting my sh!t together!
It is the second day of getting my life together, and although it wasn't perfect, it was still consistent. I am an insomniac, so sleep doesn't come easily to me without any help. I did not take my supplements or drink chamomile tea last night, which generally helped me to sleep. The supplements are usually made up of lavender and other herbs that help relax your nerves.
It works for me. So, I tossed and turned till 4 in the morning, as a result of which I could not go for a walk in the morning. But, I woke up just in time for my yoga class and joined it. I don't really enjoy it, but doing yoga makes me feel better throughout the day. It also helps me with sore muscles and body aches. I also feel very calm and at peace while doing it.
However, unlike yesterday, work was good. I managed to get a lot done and also binged on a couple of episodes from Queen of Tears. I'm so hooked on it. But, I can't watch anything at a stretch so I take breaks in between. It was a decent day but I wasn't feeling my best. I can't figure out why.
Anyways, now let's come to food. Since I woke up late, I wasn't in the mood for breakfast but I still ate something and lunch was a fulfilling Bengali meal, it was so yummy. Dinner was light and hearty. Also, I drank chamomile tea now, so hopefully I can sleep.
Breakfast:
1) Ice cream sandwich (I know not the healthiest option but I love it)
2) Black coffee
Tumblr media
Morning Snack: I got snacky right before heading to shower and that's when I had some leftover white potato curry aka shada alur torkari! It's so yummy. There are days when I eat this for dinner by itself.
Tumblr media
Lunch
1) Brown rice
2) Fish curry
3) Roasted papad curry or papor er torkari
4) Salad
Tumblr media
Evening Snack:
1) Grapes (I had to heavily edit the image as the one I clicked sucks)
2) Black coffee
3) 1 biscuit
Tumblr media
Dinner:
I had some chicken ham so I boiled some corn and stirred it with the ham in some butter and pepper. I then put together a salad with the buttered corn and ham, cucumbers, onions, and green chilies, sprinkled some garlic salt, pepper, and chat masala. Served with a spoonful of relish on top. This really put my day together. It was so comforting.
Tumblr media
Last but not the least, I had a cup of chamomile tea.
Tumblr media
Oh, here's my choice for song of the day-

How do I make testy Khichuri with Gobindobhog Rice
Khichuri is a popular dish in Bengali cuisine,
and using Govindobhog rice can add a unique flavour to it.
Here’s a simple recipe for making tasty Khichuri with Govindobhog rice:
Ingredients:
1 cup Grihika Govindobhog rice
1/2 cup split yellow Grihika Premium Moong Dal
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, potatoes, etc.)
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
1–2 green chilies, chopped
1-inch piece of ginger, grated
2–3 cloves of garlic, minced
2 tablespoons Thakumaar Cow Ghee
Salt to taste
Fresh coriander leaves for garnish
Water
Instructions:
Rinse the rice and lentils:
Wash the Govindobhog rice and split yellow moong dal under cold water until the water runs clear.
Soak the rice and lentils:
Soak the rice and lentils in water for about 30 minutes. This will help them cook faster.
Prepare the vegetables:
Cut the vegetables into small, uniform pieces.
Cooking Khichuri:
a. In a pressure cooker or a heavy-bottomed pan, heat the ghee over medium heat.
b. Add the sliced onions and sauté until golden brown.
c. Add the grated ginger and minced garlic. Sauté for a minute until the raw smell disappears.
d. Add the chopped green chilies, turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, and garam masala. Mix well.
e. Add the mixed vegetables and sauté for a couple of minutes.
Add rice and lentils:
Drain the soaked rice and lentils and add them to the pressure cooker or pan. Mix well with the other ingredients.
Add water and salt:
Add about 4 cups of water (adjust as needed for your preferred consistency) and salt to taste. Stir well.
Pressure cook:
If using a pressure cooker, close the lid and cook for about 2–3 whistles or until the rice and lentils are cooked and the khichuri has a porridge-like consistency.
Serve:
Once done, let the pressure release naturally. Open the cooker, give the khichuri a good stir, and garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
Serve hot:
Serve the Govindobhog rice khichuri hot with a dollop of ghee on top. It pairs well with yogurt, pickle, or a side of fried vegetables.
Enjoy your delicious Govindobhog rice khichuri!

From a rebel's kitchen
Daily writing promptWhat’s your favorite recipe?View all responses Disclaimer: I despise cooking. I hate the many layers of preparation required to make any food palatable. It does have something to do with my intense fear of fire, or maybe the fear is deeper than just my skin. For as long as I remember, I have mostly seen women in the kitchen, some in there by choice, some by compulsion and…
