Tingmomo Is a Tibetan Treat You Should Know. Here’s How to Make It

What comes to mind when you think of Tibetan cuisine? It probably depends on which part of the world you live in. If you’re in North America, it may be the famous Tibetan butter tea, or bhocha, as it is known to Tibetans, which inspired the once-viral bulletproof coffee trend. But if you live in the Himalayan region of India, Bhutan, or Nepal, home to some of the largest Tibetan exile settlements of the past seven decades, you will likely know of momo, Tibetan dumplings that have become widely adopted in these Himalayan countries. Tingmomo is another Tibetan treat you should know. A steamed bun with a soft, fluffy texture, its name, some say, is a contraction of tingba, the Tibetan word for “cloud,” and momo, the Tibetan word for “dumpling.” The buns, called tingmo for short, are typically paired with phing sha, a savory stir-fry of glass noodles with mokru (wood ear mushrooms) and chunks of meat; or with shapta, thinly sliced meat stir-fried with velvety gravy that you sop up with p

16 Best Benefits Of Corn (Bhutta) For Skin, Hair And Health

Corn, also known as maize or our good old ( Bhutta/Makkai/Challi ) in Hindi, ‘ Mokka Jonnalu ‘ in Telugu, ‘ Makkacholam ‘ in Tamil, ‘ Cholam ‘ in Malayalam, ‘ Musukina Jol a’ in Kannada, ‘ Makkai ‘ in Gujarati, ‘ Makai ‘ in Marathi and Punjabi and ‘ Butta ‘ in Bengali. Corn is a large grain plant which is said to have originated in Mexico and Central America. Though viewed as a vegetable, it is actually a food grain. The leafy stalk of the plant produces ears, which contain the grains known as kernels. For every kernel on the cob, there is a strand of silk. The white and yellow kernels are most popular, but today, corn is available in red, brown, blue and purple also.

Baby corn is available in cans or jars in the supermarkets and is used in Asian cooking. This grain is generally available in summer and can be

Grilled Piri Piri Sardines on Crusty Bread Recipe

by Rochelle Ramos When we fire up our barbecues seeking that aromatic smoky and charred flavor, most people don’t consider one of the most sustainable and healthy fish for a grilling candidate; the sardine! A summer favorite, sardines are found all over Europe but have been expanding their delicious reach around the US in recent years. One of the most loved ways to consume these little fish is to serve them hot off the grill with rustic bread. The thick slices of crusty bread are used not only as a utensil to transfer those little fish into hungry mouths, but also acts as vessels to capture all the rich juices as they seep into it. Traditionally grilled sardines are made simple with only a sprinkle of salt and a hot flame for seasoning, but this recipe is made even more enjoyable with garlic, cilantro, a squeeze or two of lemon juice, and a bite of spicy red piri piri peppers!
