Actor who played Goli from 'Tarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah' starts video blog and cooks for people

A video that went viral on social media shows Bhojpuri superstar and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Pawan Singh receiving blessings from Lalu Prasad Yadav, the leader of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD).

This meeting took place during the grand finale of the show 'Bhojpuri Baawal' in Patna, where Governor of Bihar Samrat Chaudhary and other influential figures were also present. The video clearly shows that as soon as Pawan Singh spotted Lalu Yadav, he immediately approached and bowed to him, saying: 'Chacha, bahut din baad mile' (Uncle, long time no see).

Lalu Yadav smiled and placed his hand on Pawan Singh's shoulder, bestowing his blessing. A brief conversation also took place between them, which was fully captured on camera.

This encounter attracted public attention because Pawan Singh is a BJP MP, while Lalu Yadav is the head of RJD and a prominent opposition politician. Despite representing different political views, respect for elders is a tradition in Bihari culture and the Bhojpuri industry. Pawan Singh's address to Lalu as 'Chacha' and his bow demonstrate adherence to this cultural norm.

Many major political figures and Bhojpuri artists gathered at the grand finale. During the event, Pawan Singh also raised a demand for the creation of a film center for the Bhojpuri industry, which became an important issue for local artists. After the video went viral, social media users praised the meeting between Pawan Singh and Lalu Prasad, noting his humility and respect for culture. Nevertheless, some view this meeting through a political lens, especially after Tej Pratap Yadav made some controversial remarks about Pawan Singh during the same event.

The meeting between Pawan Singh and Lalu Yadav has become a topic of discussion in both the Bhojpuri industry and Bihar politics, showing that despite differences in political ideologies, culture and mutual respect can unite people.

Kadhi is an important part of Indian cuisine, and although it is prepared differently in various regions of the country, Punjabi kadhi pakora is considered the most special and delicious. If you like the same appetizing Punjabi kadhi pakora as in a cafe, the recipe suggested by film director and choreographer Farah Khan can be very useful. Farah often shares simple recipes and kitchen tips in her video blogs.

This time, she presented three simple tricks for making Punjabi kadhi pakora that help make the pakora tender and fluffy while significantly enhancing the flavor of the kadhi. If you want to make a tasty and creamy Punjabi kadhi pakora at home, be sure to apply these simple tips.

According to Farah Khan, to make the pakora soft and airy, one should not rely solely on baking soda. A little yogurt should be added to the gram flour (besan) dough. Thanks to the yogurt, the pakora rises well during frying, and its texture becomes very soft. To make the pakora, you will need besan, chopped onion, salt, spices, a little yogurt, and a pinch of baking soda.

To enhance the flavor of the kadhi, Farah Khan uses a special method: before putting the kadhi on the heat, she adds minced raw garlic to the mixture of yogurt and besan. This makes the taste of the kadhi even richer. To prepare the kadhi, first thoroughly mix the yogurt, besan, salt, and turmeric. Then, after adding the required amount of water, pour the prepared mixture into a simmering oil sauce.

According to Farah, kadhi should not be rushed. After adding the yogurt and besan mixture, it needs to be cooked well over low heat. This allows the raw taste of the besan to dissipate and fully develops the flavor of all the spices. To prepare the oil sauce, heat the oil and fry asafoetida, cumin, fennel, whole coriander, and chopped onion in it. After this, pour in the yogurt-besan mixture and water to make the kadhi.

While preparing the kadhi, you should prepare the batter for the pakora. Mix besan, onion, yogurt, salt, spices, and a pinch of baking soda to get the batter. Then, fry the pakora in hot oil until golden brown and add them to the ready kadhi so they have time to absorb the sauce's flavor. Finally, after the kadhi is ready, a final tempering sauce is prepared: cumin, curry leaves, asafoetida, kasuri methi, green chili, dry red chili, and red chili powder are fried in ghee. This sauce is poured over the hot kadhi.

Thus, your tasty kadhi pakora is ready, and it can be enjoyed with hot rice.
