3 tbsp hot oil,and some Cilantro(optional)
Method:
Mix all the above dry ingredients and add hot oil and mix.Add enough hot water to make a thickish dough and keep it aside for 10 mins.It must not be thin which makes it soggy and too soft to make shapes and fry.
Heat enough oil to deep fry around 370F, and take 1-2 tbsp of dough and drop it carefully into the oil.Fry rolling them on all sides to a golden color and drain on paper towel.Make sure oil is at the right temp. Too hot,Vadas burn on the outside and still raw inside.If oil is not hot enough, Vadas sucks too much oil and becomes very soggy.

Seduction has for ages been the most exciting thing in a relationship. Though most people are clueless as to how to seduce, they do not mind being seduced! It requires some amount of practice to master the art of seduction. But hey, practice makes you perfect! Now that you have nothing to lose, read on for some general tips for seduction. Setting the right atmosphere is the first important criterion you need to fulfill for effective seduction. Make sure that the place you select has soft lighting and a soothing ambience. Music always works if it is soft and subtle. It shouldn't steal the thunder from you! Learn to dance, if you can. Master a few moves and set the dance floor on fire. Nothing turns on a person more than dancing, as it gives you a reason to be intimate with each other.
While you arrange for all the things mentioned above, do not forget to put on that killing smile of yours when you meet him/her. Eye contact sets the foundation for the seduction game. Do you know that eyes are capable of "speaking" your deepest emotions and they do it better than actually talking! So, silence your lips and let you eyes give out the true intensity of your emotions. Lastly, be confident as it counts the most. Nothing can be more depressing than you looking stressful or traumatic during the date. Remember, a confident person has much more chance of seducing than a person who lacks it. To get more seduction tips for men and women, browse through our section.
How to Seduce a Woman
You have the Greek God looks, 6-pack abs, bulging biceps et all, but if you cannot seduce a woman, it is a big waste. After all, looks are not everything. Even dorky looking guys can get the prettiest damsels, if they know how to seduce a woman. In case you are among the clueless lot, fret no more. We bring you creative ideas for seducing women. Go through these tips for seducing a girl to get that girl of your dreams.
Tips on Seducing Women
She comes First While with your woman, do not let your eyes stray, no matter how beautiful (read hot) the woman on the next table is. Know for sure that “your” woman is a special one. Focus on her, because she is beautiful in her own way. Women hate it when her date is leeching at the other women and ignoring her.
Think out of the Box
Whatever you do, be creative. It never hurts to flaunt your creativity and trust me, women love it. Buy her a nice gift, and be genuine when you give it to her. Don't do it as if you are being forced to do it. Even while talking, indulge in a conversation that interests her too. Get to know your common interests and talk about it. Do not talk about mundane things like how boring your work is, ex-girlfriends, or too much about yourself.
Basic Hygiene
It is NOT important to look like Brad Pitt to seduce a woman. Just be yourself and most importantly, be well groomed. No woman would like her man to be unclean with shabby hair and dirty clothes. Take a shower, shave and apply some nice smelling cologne. Your attire need not be a business suit. Even a simple pair of CLEAN jeans and a nice tee with a trendy belt and a classy watch would go miles to make a style statement.
Talk
Believe it or not, women love to engage in intellectual conversation. It is a big turn-on for a woman. So, do not think she is some bimbo who cannot think. Strike a conversation and you will be amazed by how much women know. Talking always breaks the ice and seduction becomes easier once the woman is comfortable. The best way to start a good conversation is by a genuine compliment.
Chivalry
Women, today, believe that chivalry is dead. Prove them wrong by being a gentleman. Of course, chivalry is not limited to opening the door or pulling the chair for her. Treat her like a princess, respect her for what she is and tell her how beautiful she is. There is nothing is more chivalrous than a man respecting his woman.
Sense of Touch
Do not touch her in an offensive way. Women can be defensive in seconds, if touched in a way that is degrading. Just touch her slightly on her hands and even shoulders. Give her a formal hug and keep your hands under control. Who knows, she might instead get out of control!!

Tips On Seducing A Man
Create the Right Environment
Seduction is best done is a sensual atmosphere. Make sure you are in a place where there is not much distraction like loud music, too many people and bad ambience. The best environment for seduction is candle-lit dinner and soft music. Do not forget to have the scented votives and fresh flowers in place.
Confidence Counts
Men like women who are confident about themselves. So, straighten those shoulders, put your nose up in the air and walk with that confident swagger. Be careful not to overdo it else it may look arrogant instead of confident. Amidst all this, do not forget that an excellent posture would be an add-on.
Eye Contact
Eyes can communicate emotions. They are the windows to our soul. Lock him in a captivating glance and make sure you "speak" with your eyes. Maintain a steady gaze. Do not gawk or stare.
Play Hard to Get
Don't be too obvious in showing your interest in a guy. Ignore every now and then. But don't be so cold that the guy loses interest in you. Giving him space would be a good option for both of you. While you get time to observe him, he gets time to “miss” you.
Looks that Kill
Slip on a sensuous dress, let your locks fall on your slender shoulders, wear those dangerously high stilettos and apply some make up. Accentuate your attractive features like eyes, lips or neck. If you find yourself gorgeous in the mirror, consider half of your job done!
Modulate your Tone
Nothing is more seductive than a gentle yet sensuous tone. Whisper something in his ear like “You look chic in blue" in that seductive tone. The guy will not only be flattered, you get to score brownie points and make your move!
Flirt
Flirt by all means. Tell him he looks like a Greek God, but sound genuine. Blink your eyes to look vulnerable yet hard to get. You can slightly touch him on the shoulder or the wrist while laughing. Again, don't overdo it. Men don't like being pushed. Engage in a good conversation and give your viewpoints instead of nodding your head constantly to his.
Smell Good
Make sure you smell good. Apply a nice perfume that is not too strong. In order to make it last long, do layering. This means, you layer yourself with the same smell in different ways. For instance, if your perfume smells of rose, put some drops of rose essential oils in your bathwater. Apply some powder that smells of rose and finally apply the perfume. DO NOT spray the perfume directly on yourself. Spray it in front of you and immediately walk through the mist. This makes sure it is not concentrated on some places and you smell good overall.
While you arrange for all the things mentioned above, do not forget to put on that killing smile of yours when you meet him/her. Eye contact sets the foundation for the seduction game.

Your friend's bachelor party is just around the corner and being one of the invitees, you would surely want to dress up right and look your very best. Before deciding a dress for the bachelor's party, there are a number of things that you need to keep in mind, such as the theme of the party, the venue, the level of formality expected, and so on. For the purpose, you can either ask the host or scan the invitation thoroughly. If it is a dinner at an upscale restaurant, you would need to dress up in your best formal suit. However, if the party involves going to a ball game with the guys and then winding up in a discotheque, the dressing needs to be totally casual. In other words, once you figure out the theme and destination of the bachelor's party, it would be easy to dress appropriately. In case you still need any help, go through the lines below and explore a few ideas for bachelor party dress.
Bachelor Party Dress Ideas
* If your bachelor party is planned on beach, then casual wear, such as Capri and cool T-shirts will look nice. Complement the look with a pair of flip-flops, sunglasses and a straw hat.
* If the venue is a five star restaurant or a bar, then you should choose completely formal dress, such as dress shirt paired with blazers. Complete the entire look by wearing a pair of black or brown leather shoes, cufflinks and a leather belt. If you want to relax a bit, wear a flannel shirt with a pair of khaki pants. Dress it up with black dress shoes, to increase the overall appeal of the look.
* If it is an informal occasion, you may slip into a pair of jeans and a v-neck t-shirt, complemented by a pair of sneakers. Another option is to wear a pair of black or tan pants with a shirt or a t-shirt.
* In case of a formal party, don't forget to pack some extra clothes in a duffle bag. In case, sudden plans emerge, it may be that suddenly you plan to go from brandy bar to sports bar; you would be able to "slip into something more comfortable."
* What ever you choose to wear, just make sure that you feel comfortable. This is the most important thing to keep in mind while dressing up for bachelor's party.
* Go for a dress that breathes and at the same time looks presentable. It should not be too tight, as you are going to wear it for the next couple of hours, even dance with the same pair of clothes on.
* Remember that the bachelor's party is not the night to break in a new pair of dress shoes, as you will be partying hard. You can try them sometime later. As far as footwear is concerned, stick to the pair you know to be comfortable.

Bachelor's Party Game Ideas
Brides Apartment Key
Pass out old keys at the beginning of the party to everyone, except the groom. Now, during the party, one man should make a speech about how the bride has made her choice and anyone who still has a key to her apartment should give it back to the groom now. Then, hold up a small bowl. Then let every one come up and place their keys into the bowl. This game will surely be the funniest event of the eve.
Game of Poker
You can plan a grand game of poker. You may use real money for bets, but it might not be liked by some of your guests. So, using poker chips would be the best option. Being thoroughly entertaining, the game of poker will surely add fun to your party.
Drinking Games
For guys, drinking comes naturally. In a bachelor's party, drink till you feel silly and downright cranky. Make sure no one is sane enough or in control. Play drinking games like making the groom or the best man drink a whole bottle in one breath. If you are heading to the club, you can dare the groom to get a lady to buy him a drink. A word of caution: Do not drive under the influence.
Checklist of Dares
Make sure you embarrass the groom by asking him absolutely unexpected questions. Make him do things that would make sure that he gets downright embarrassed and goes red on his face. If done in the right humor, it breaks the ice and brings friends closer.
Adventure Sports
You could arrange a trip to the nearest place, which is the hub of adventure sports and activities. It could be bungee jumping, river-rafting, kayaking, camping in the woods or racing. No, gambling is not adventure sports, but definitely a great option!

The Second Date

You had the time of your life in your first date. You think of him/her every now and then. You yearn to catch a glimpse of your date and will be thankful even if you get to spend just 5 minutes with him/her. Congratulations, you are eligible to proceed onto your second date. And, if you date is giving hints of meeting again... bingo, you have hit the jackpot! However, there are certain do’s and don’ts that you need to watch out for before meeting your ‘prospective’ special one. Given here are ideas for how to proceed to your second date. Read on for planning your second date.
Planning Your Second Date
* Proceed on a second date only if you are genuinely interested in the other person. Look out for visible signs if your date is as interested as you are. This includes if he/she attends your phone calls, shows interest when you talk about meeting up again, etc.
* Planning shouldn't be much of a problem. You must have got some ideas as to what his/her favorite pastimes are. Plan accordingly.
* Just because you were at your best behavior in your first date does not mean you can take your date for granted and be clumsy. Not only is the whole effort wasted, but also there is a risk that your date might not be interested in you further.
* Open up a bit more and try to have more fun around with each other. Humor always works and breaks the ice more easily. Try telling funny incidents about your life and take your relation to another level.
* Try a different theme for your second date. If you went for a dinner in your first date, go hiking or driving in your second. Remember, variety is the spice of life.
* Going to a café wouldn’t be a bad option either. The best thing about coffee shops is that you can sit for long hours over a cup of coffee, without the staff bothering much. It is the best way you and your date can get to know each other better. However, make sure that your date is fond of having coffee.
* Never indulge in anything that looks unnatural or forced. It is when you start being overtly sweet that the feelings seem artificial or forceful. Be comfortable and your date would automatically be comfortable.
* It is very important to keep in mind the time of the date. Even if it is for a few hours only, make your date feel special. Nothing can be more disheartening than the two of you just hanging around without any specific destination.
* Make sure you are relaxed and stress-free. Remember, it is now that the two of you would establish whether or not you wish to continue the relationship or not. Being relaxed would allow you to think freely and have open hearted conversation.
* Lastly, enjoy your date to the fullest. It is only when you enjoy the time spend with a person that you miss the person and want to meet them again. Remember, no date is better than a boring date!!! So just feel free and enjoy - who knows both of you could click together!!

The Knights Templar, was one of the most famous of the Christian military orders. It existed for about two centuries in the Middle Ages, created in the aftermath of the First Crusade of 1096 to ensure the safety of the large numbers of European pilgrims who flowed towards Jerusalem after its conquest.
The Templars were an unusual order in that they were both monks and soldiers, making them in effect some of the earliest "warrior monks" in the Western world. Members of the Order played a key part in many battles of the Crusades, and the Order's infrastructure innovated many financial techniques that could be considered the foundation of modern banking. The Order grew in membership and power throughout Europe, until it was charged with heresy and other crimes by the French Inquisition under the influence of the French King Philip IV and was forcibly disbanded in the early 1300s.
The Knights Templar have become surrounded by legends concerning secrets and mysteries handed down to the select from ancient times. Most of these legends are connected with the long occupation by the order of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, and speculation about what relics the Templars may have found there, such as the Holy Grail, the Ark of the Covenant, or fragments of the True Cross from the Crucifixion.
Well it's still a Mystery......and one of the world's most amazing ones.......

Tips for Planning Bachelor's Parties
* Make sure you plan the event well in advance, so as to avoid last moment confusions. The venue, day and date should be fixed in advance and bookings also made beforehand. At the same time, make sure that your guests have no confusion regarding the same.
* Send out invitations well in advance so that people come prepared for the event and do not end missing it. Do not forget to mention venue and dress code or theme in the invitation, if any.
* Decide what kind of party you are going to have. If you are going to have women, talk to the groom and see how he feels about it. After all, he's the one who has to face the bride.
* Avoid keeping the party just a day before the wedding. It will be too hectic and tiring. There are also great chances that all the guests, including the groom, would be sleeping till late hours of the morning. Now, you wouldn't want the groom to get late on his own wedding or worse, miss it altogether.
* If the wedding is scheduled on a Saturday, keep the bachelor's party on a Thursday. That way, you get a day off to relax, take control and get rid of that hangover!
* Food is the soul of any party and if it is a bachelor's party, you never know when it's going to end. So, make sure you have plenty of food and drinks to take care of the guests' needs.
* Do make sure to arrange for party favors and amusing games, as these things will surely add to fun of the party.
* Music is a must to rock any party. Select some hot and happening songs to give the perfect mood to your party.
* You can even organize a big tournament for the bachelor's party. Some good sports that can be organized for bachelor parties include: Tennis, Basketball, Baseball, Football, Volleyball, Soccer and Golf.
* You can also test the groom's limits in a different way, by organizing outdoors activities, such as camping, climbing and hiking, whitewater rafting, wakeboarding, dirt biking, parasailing, skydiving, hang gliding, bungee jumping, skiing, snowboarding, hunting and fishing, for his bachelor party.
* At the end of the party, don't forget to sit in a circle and share embarrassing stories about the groom's ex-girlfriends and college adventures.

Rudraksh - The Seed of the Comos.

Rudraksh is formed by association of two words, 'RUDRA' and 'AKSHA'. Rudra is the name of Lord Shiva. Aksha means 'tear'. It is said that the plant of Rudraksh is originated from the tear drops of Lord Shiva. As per the vedic scriptures Rudraksh can nullify the effects of malefic planets to a great extent. Shastras say Rudraksh of any mukhis can never do any harm to the wearer unlike Navratnas, which have to be carefully chosen. No other necklace or bead is so auspicious and powerful as Rudraksh.
Rudraksh come in different mukhis or the clefts or furrows on the surface. Shastras speak of 1 to 38 mukhis but normally 1 to 14 mukhis are used for astrological benefits. Each bead has a different effect on you, depending on the number of mukhis it has.
The botanical name of the Rudraksh plant is 'ELAEOCARPUS GRANITRUS'. This is found in the various parts of the world. It is said that the seed of Rudraksh contains the secrets of entire evolution of the cosmos within it. Ancient vedic scriptures like Shiva Purana, PadmaPurana (Chap 57) Srimad Bagwata (Chap III to VII ) Rudraksh Jabbalaoapanishad, Mantra Maharnava, etc. mentioned about the greatness and wonderful properties of Rudraksh beads.
It is believed that one who wear Rudraksh on their bodies, cannot be affected by sins. Even if, one wears Rudraksh on his body, without doing worship and saying the sacred mantra, does no get near any sinful deed or thought.
Before wearing the Rudraksh it is better to cleanse and purify it with milk, ghee, oil etc. and do pran prathista (give life to the Rudraksh) when the mantras corresponding to the mukhis are chanted, the Rudraksh gets activated.
It might be new for some to think that Natural Beads of vegetable matter from the Rudraksha Tree could affect the Human Neuro Physiology as they do in the ways described in the Ancient Vedic Literature however recent scientific research has again found Vedic Knowledge to be correct.

Also it is advisable to take off beads while taking bath as excess soap dehydrates the beads of the natural Oil . They need to be worn with faith , respect and love .
Life of Rudraksh could be any number of years. If well protected, can be passed on from generation to generation.
How to Identify the real Rudraksh:
* 1 Tests like the one which sinks in water is original and the one that floats is a duplicate one , are not right. Even the ones made of wood with some lead impregnated in it can sink comfortably in water. The best way is to procure from reliable source.
If you place a real rudraksh bead in a full glass of water, it would drown in water. BUT that doesn't prove that it is real... even the Fakes drown in water because of metal particles.
* 2 Boil the rudraksh in water for continous 6 hours, if it is real rudraksh there would not be any effect on the rudraksh bead, else if it is artificial or two rudrakshs are joined together artificially(in case of Gauri shanker bead), they will get seprated.
* 3 Rudraksh should not be confused with the shape and size. One should carefully examine that Rudraksh bead have well defined, corns and contours are natural, there are no cracks near the central hole and the bead has a good health . Smaller size is also considered to be very auspicious.
* 4. Rudraksh Bead shall not be broken from any end.
Rudraksh is of special importance in religious ceremonies and prayers of God - Goddesses. It is difficult to get one faced and 9 to 14 faced Rudraksh. One faced rudraksh is very rare and is very powerful. The five faced Rudraksh Chain (mala) is therefore considered ideal for pooja purposes. A chain of 26 beads of rudraksh is placed on head, a chain of 50 beads is placed over the heart, while a 16 beaded chain is kept on the forehead.

In the old days, when men were allowed to have many wives, a middle-aged Man had one wife that was old and one that was young; each loved him very much, and desired to see him like herself.
Now the Man's hair was turning grey, which the young Wife did not like, as it made him look too old for her husband. So every night she used to comb his hair and pick out the white ones. But the elder Wife saw her husband growing grey with great pleasure, for she did not like to be mistaken for his mother. So every morning she used to arrange his hair and pick out as many of the black ones as she could. The consequence was the Man soon found himself entirely bald.
Moral of the Story:
Yield to all and you will soon have nothing to yield.
Lesson in life:
If you find it hard to object or refuse, bear in mind some of these tips and techniques of saying No:-

Top Ten Unexplained Phenomena

Technology/Science

Unknown
Science has the power to harness energy, allow human flight, help cure the sick, and explain much about the world. But as amazing and beneficial as science is, it cannot explain everything. Scientists may never know exactly how the universe began, or help to settle matters of faith. The same is true for the paranormal world. Though science can explain many strange phenomena, some mysteries remain to be solved--often because there is simply not enough information to reach a definitive conclusion. Some of these phenomena may one day be fully understood, as many things that were once mysterious or unexplained (such as the causes of disease) are now common knowledge.
1.The Taos Hum
Some residents and visitors in the small city of Taos, New Mexico, have for years been annoyed and puzzled by a mysterious and faint low-frequency hum in the desert air. Oddly, only about 2 percent of Taos residents report hearing the sound. Some believe it is caused by unusual acoustics; others suspect mass hysteria or some secret, sinister purpose. Whether described as a whir, hum, or buzz--and whether psychological, natural, or supernatural- -no one has yet been able to locate the sound's origin.
2. Bigfoot
For decades, large, hairy, manlike beasts called Bigfoot have occasionally been reported by eyewitnesses across America. Despite the thousands of Bigfoot that must exist for a breeding population, not a single body has been found. Not one has been killed by a hunter, struck dead by a speeding car, or even died of natural causes. In the absence of hard evidence like teeth or bones, support comes down to eyewitness sightings and ambiguous photos and films. Since it is logically impossible to prove a universal negative, science will never be able to prove that creatures like Bigfoot and the Loch Ness monster do not exist, and it is possible that these mysterious beasts lurk far from prying eyes.
3. Intuition
Whether we call it gut feelings, a "sixth sense," or something else, we have all experienced intuition at one time or another. Of course, gut feelings are often wrong (how many times during aircraft turbulence have you been "sure" your plane was going down?), but they do seem to be right much of the time. Psychologists note that people subconsciously pick up information about the world around us, leading us to seemingly sense or know information without knowing exactly how or why we know it. But cases of intuition are difficult to prove or study, and psychology may only be part of the answer.
4. Mysterious Disappearances
People disappear for various reasons. Most are runaways, some succumb to accident, a few are abducted or killed, but most are eventually found. Not so with the truly mysterious disappearances. From the crew of the Marie Celeste to Jimmy Hoffa, Amelia Earhart, and Natalee Holloway, some people seem to have vanished without a trace. When missing persons are found, it is always through police work, confession, or accident never by "psychic detectives"). But when the evidence is lacking and leads are lost, even police and forensic science can't always solve the crime.
5. Ghosts
From the Shakespeare play "MacBeth" to the NBC show "Medium," spirits of the dead have long made an appearance in our culture and folklore. Many people have reported seeing apparitions of both shadowy strangers and departed loved ones. Though definitive proof for the existence of ghosts remains elusive, sincere eyewitnesses continue to report seeing, photographing, and even communicating with ghosts. Ghost investigators hope to one day prove that the dead can contact the living, providing a final answer to the mystery.
6. Dejà vu
Dejà vu is a French phrase meaning "already seen," referring to the distinct, puzzling, and mysterious feeling of having experienced a specific set of circumstances before. A woman might walk into a building, for example, in a foreign country she'd never visited, and sense that the setting is eerily and intimately familiar. Some attribute dejà vu to psychic experiences or unbidden glimpses of previous lives. As with intuition (see #3), research into ,human psychology can offer more naturalistic explanations, but ultimately the cause and nature of the phenomenon itself remains a mystery.
7. UFOs
There is no doubt that UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects) exist--many people see things in the skies that they cannot identify, ranging from aircraft to meteors. Whether or not any of those objects and lights are alien spacecraft is another matter entirely; given the fantastic distances and effort involved in just getting to Earth from across the universe, such a scenario seems unlikely. Still, while careful investigation has revealed known causes for most sighting reports, some UFO incidents will always remain unexplained.
8. Near-Death Experiences and Life After Death
People who were once near death have sometimes reported various mystical experiences (such as going into a tunnel and emerging in a light, being reunited with loved ones, a sense of peace, etc.) that may suggest an existence beyond the grave. While such experiences are profound, no one has returned with proof or verifiable information from "beyond the grave." Skeptics suggest that the experiences are explainable as natural and predictable hallucinations of a traumatized brain, yet there is no way to know with certainty what causes near-death experiences, or if they truly are visions of "the other side."
9. Psychic powers and ESP
Psychic powers and extra-sensory perception (ESP) rank among the top ten unexplained phenomena if for no other reason than that belief in them is so widespread. Many people believe that intuition (see #3) is a form of psychic power, a way of accessing arcane or special knowledge about the world or the future. Researchers have tested people who claim to have psychic powers, though the results under controlled scientific conditions have so far been negative or ambiguous. Some have argued that psychic powers cannot be tested, or for some reason diminish in the presence of skeptics or scientists. If this is true, science will never be able to prove or disprove the existence of psychic powers.
10. The Body/Mind Connection
Medical science is only beginning to understand the ways in which the mind influences the body. The placebo effect, for example, demonstrates that people can at times cause a relief in medical symptoms or suffering by believing the cures to be effective--whether they actually are or not. Using processes only poorly understood, the body's ability to heal itself is far more amazing than anything modern medicine could create.

But once they realize, they prefer to act as if nothing happened, and behave normally with people who have a problem rather than remind others of the incident by tendering an apology.
CANCER

They need reasons,explanations, written letters and the works to get elicit an 'ok, you may go now' phrase. They are hard to please and even harder to appease.
AQUARIUS
They are sweet, genuine and innovative when they think they are wrong and need to undo the damage.Aquarians are easy on their mistakes and don't take too much time to do their sorrying.
PISCES
Pisceans don't easily give in because they believe that everything is about perspective.So if somebody thinks they made a mistake!!, it's because they have a wonky perspective.Pisceans and apologies? No chance!!!

Bread made with tangy Sour cream, Potato flakes and spices like garlic etc makes this loaf a delectable snack to have any time of the day. It's texture is very soft inside and bit crusty outside since we add a bit a baking soda along with yeast. It bakes to a gorgeous golden color speckled with herbs and spices, toasted thick cut slices are delicious to eat. Tastes better the next day, keep it wrapped in a gallon size Zip-lock bag.
You can use wheat flour and Oat flour to replace Potato to make it healthier and skip the spices to make it plain. Add 1-2 tbsp more sugar to make it a sweet bread. Choices are unlimited when you use the basic recipe and get creative! :))
Ingredients:
1/2 cup Sour cream,
1/2 cup Water (warm 80F)
3 tsp dry active Yeast to add to warm water and sour cream mix.
1/2 cup dry plain Potato flakes, (Flavored potato flakes has salt etc, will make the bread salty)
1/3 cup Milk (warm).
1 tbsp sugar,
1/4 cup softened butter,
3 cups white or wheat Bread four,
1 tsp Salt,
1/2 tsp Baking soda,
1/2 tsp garlic powder,
1 tsp dry Parsley,
1 tsp Chicago Steak seasoning for grilling, (you see in the collage which has mixture of dry onion flakes, red chilli pepper, pepper, crushed coriander and cumin seeds, mixed herbs etc. or you can use any spice mix you like)
Method:
1. Mix sour cream and water well, heat for 40seconds in the microwave. When it's warm, add yeast and set aside for 5 mins to get foam or bubbles on top.
2. Add 1/3 cup warm milk to dry potato, mix well.
3. Add all the dry ingredients to a mixer with flat beater attachment, mix well. Add in the yeast mix and potato+milk mix and beat well.
4. Change to kneader attachment, knead this dough for 4 mins until you get soft and non-sticky dough. If the dough is too dry, add a tbsp of water at a time until you get the soft dough but do not make the dough sticky.
5. Take out the dough, put it in a non-stick loaf pan, cover and let it proof in a warm place until double, no second rising is needed.
6. Pre heat the oven to 375F. Uncover the dough, slice 1/2" deep gash on the top of the loaf and sprinkle some spice mix on top if you like.
7. Bake in the middle rack for 25 to 35 mins depending on your oven or bread is golden and sounds hollow when tapped.
8. Cool on a rack and slice when cooled.
Serve this toasted thick slice for breakfast with butter or on the side with any soup. Also makes an excellent snack with cream cheese!
You can also divide this dough into 12-16 rolls instead of one big loaf to make smaller dinner rolls as well. Enjoy! :)

I feel delighted at the very thought that there is one day that is truly dedicated to lovers. It is on this day when guys and girls exchange love notes and they open up their heart and confess their love feelings to their loved ones. In the words of Voltaire, " Love is a canvas furnished by nature and embroidered by imagination." Love is about "Two souls but with a single thought, two heart that beat as one." It is the biggest blessing of god, if you get the love of person you love. When love is so special, I think it calls for a party time to celebrate the uniting of lovebirds. Yes you got it right I'm indeed talking about Valentines Day party.
When it comes to partying, adult valentine day party is no less. In fact adult parties are really cool. You'll find everything like beautiful decorations, delicious recipes, glamorous clothing, valentine party gifts basket, light soothing music and how can entertainment be forgotten. Our grownups are really enthusiastic when it comes to games and other activities.
If you too are planning a party, then check out some Valentine's Day romantic party ideas: -
