A recipe for making sweet Mithi Samoosas (Sweet Samoosas) is presented. To begin the preparation, it is necessary to prepare the filling (pur).
Heat 2 tablespoons of ghee (clarified butter). Then add raisins and heat until they swell. After this, add desiccated coconut, mix, and then add milk, milk powder, and condensed milk. The mixture needs to be allowed to thicken, after which nuts and cardamom are mixed in. The mixture is removed from the heat and cooled.
The cooled filling is placed into dough, which is sealed using prepared paste. The samoosas are fried until golden brown. Simultaneously, a syrup is boiled until it reaches a sticky consistency. The finished samoosas are dipped in the syrup and garnished additionally with crushed nuts before serving.
The syrup is made from a quarter cup of sugar, half a cup of water, a few drops of rose water, one cinnamon stick, and two pods of cardamom.
Actress and entrepreneur Tebogo Tobedjane urges women over 40 to believe that their best years are still ahead. She shares her new approach to wellness, which goes beyond simple weight counting.
Tebogo Tobedjane recently shared the philosophy of her latest wellness journey on Instagram. She is focused on building a stronger and healthier version of herself through discipline and consistency. She wrote: 'This season is about taking care of myself. Eating plenty of protein. Taking creatine. Wearing athletic wear that gives me confidence. Training regularly. Choosing discipline over excuses.'
Instead of chasing rapid weight loss, Tobedjane stated that her goal is now to shape and sculpt her body, prioritizing overall health. She emphasized: 'I am no longer chasing a number on the scale. I am shaping and sculpting my body into the strongest, healthiest, and most confident version of myself.'
The actress also used the opportunity to inspire women over 40 to reconsider their attitude towards aging, asserting that there is no reason to think their prime has passed. She addressed them: 'To every woman over 40, please do not think your best years are behind you. They are not behind you. Your forties can be the start of the most beautiful chapter of your life.'
According to Tobedjane, the aging process brings its own advantages, including gaining greater wisdom, confidence, and self-awareness. She noted: 'You possess more wisdom, more confidence, and more strength than ever before.'
She advised women to take care of their bodies through proper nutrition, maintaining activity, and embracing every stage of life with confidence. Her advice was: 'Take care of your body. Feed it well. Move every day. Wear clothes. Lift weights. Believe in yourself. It is never too late to become the woman you always wanted to be.'
Her message resonated with some followers who highly appreciated her promotion of a balanced approach to fitness and self-care, rather than obsession with unrealistic body goals. One user, @londiejn, commented: 'My inspiration, baby ❤️❤️'. Another follower, @kat.__smith, added: 'So this is body recomposition. 🔥 Burning fat while gaining muscle = weight stays the same, but the body is toned 😌.'
Potato salad is a traditional dish at many South African barbecues (braais), where it is usually served alongside chops, boerewors, and garlic bread. While the classic mayonnaise-based version is reliable and pleasant, small additions can make it much more memorable.
If you want your potato salad to stand out at the next family gathering or weekend barbecue, here are three simple ways to give it a new flavor.
Bacon can transform almost any dish, and potato salad is no exception. Its smoky, salty flavor contrasts wonderfully with the richness of mayonnaise, and the crispy texture adds contrast to the soft potatoes. Even a small amount of crispy bacon will give the salad a deeper and more savory taste, pairing perfectly with grilled meat during the barbecue.
Although this combination might seem unexpected for potato salad, it brings a fresh and bright accent. Crumbled feta adds a salty tang, lemon brightens the dish, and dill provides an aromatic herbal note, enhancing the overall flavor. The result is a lighter and fresher salad, which is ideal for hot days when heavy side dishes might feel too much.
For those who prefer a richer and creamier potato salad, sour cream is a simple improvement. It adds a pleasant tang and velvety texture that pairs wonderfully with potatoes. Extra red onion provides crunch and a sharp flavor, while green onion adds a mild onion aroma, tying all the elements together. This version has a more pronounced flavor profile and harmonizes especially well with smoky barbecue dishes. At a barbecue where everyone expects the usual potato salad, these small changes often prompt people to ask for seconds.
An 11-year-old girl, identified as Shannon Facey, was trapped between rocks for over four hours during a school trip in Dartmoor, UK, on June 23rd. The rescue was carried out with the help of dishwashing detergent.
The incident was reported by The Telegraph. Emergency services were called, but all initial attempts to rescue the child failed. Later, a team from the Devon Cave Rescue Organization arrived at the scene carrying a bottle of Fairy detergent. This product was poured onto the girl's leg and onto the rocks, which finally allowed her to be freed.
Jessica Facey, the girl's mother, described the moment as 'madness,' highlighting that after long hours of effort, only a little Fairy helped in the rescue. She reported that people were trying to pull her from above and below, even using various types of tools to try to cut the rocks. The 38-year-old mother mentioned feeling 'terror' upon receiving the news that her daughter was trapped.
Upon arriving near the location, Jessica Facey received a second call informing her that Shannon had already been released. She was met by her daughter, who was carrying the packaging of the detergent used in the rescue, signed by the rescuers. Fortunately, the girl did not require hospital treatment and, according to Jessica, chose to remain on the study visit for another four days, going down waterfalls the day after the accident.
