Tanni Saar - now that’s a name that might raise an
eyebrow or two! Directly translated, tanni means water and saar means juice. Oh
dear! I’m not going to dwell on that translation, but let me tell you what
Tanni Saar actually is. It's a delightful concoction of dal and sweet leaves,
specifically known as tausi murungai keerai in Tamil. Think of it as a hybrid
between dal curry, stew, and soup, with light coconut milk and your everyday
kitchen staples rounding it out.
In today’s world, capturing that perfect Hae Mee shot is more about smartphone skills than anything else. It’s all in how you style the dish, choose your props, and present the meal.

Abstract
This
paper explores the profound benefits of yoga as a natural remedy for
anti-aging, contrasting it with contemporary quick-fix solutions and aesthetic
treatments. Yoga is presented not merely as a physical exercise but as a
holistic approach that nurtures the breath, body, mind, and soul, offering
significant advantages for maintaining a youthful appearance and overall
vitality. The paper highlights how yoga fosters genuine skin nourishment and
rejuvenation, reducing the reliance on heavy makeup and superficial
enhancements. However, it also cautions against overdoing yoga, as excessive
practice can lead to fatigue, injury, and may paradoxically accelerate the
aging process.
Tamatar ki Chutney is a tomato-based chutney, known in the Punjabi language as "Tamatar ki Chutney," and is a dish from the North Indian region (INDIAN DESSERTS TO SAVOR). Tomatoes are a staple in many curries (CHANDIGARH NORTH INDIA MARVELS), and when used to make chutney, they create a spicy, tangy, and aromatic thick gravy. This chutney pairs well with chapati, paratha, dosai, and even idli. However, I recently paired it with our side dishes for a rice meal instead (VEGETARIAN MUTTON GASTRONOMY).
There’s also Takkali Thokku, which I consider another version of tomato chutney. Though it shares similarities with Tamatar ki Chutney, it differs slightly in its ingredients. The recipe I’m sharing is my own version. Plus, I’ll also show you how to make tomato rice. You have choices when it comes to cooking with tomatoes, don’t you? Isn’t it wonderful that Ms. Nava offers you these choices?
To tell you the truth, the ingredients for a classic Genoise are minimalistic (EASY CLASSIC BUTTER CAKE). However, it’s the technique that ensures the cake turns out as expected - soft, airy, and crumbly, melting in your mouth with every bite. Before sharing the recipe, here are the key techniques you should be aware of in baking a perfect Classic Genoise (EASIEST BANANA CHOCOLATE CAKE).
Whisk Eggs and
Sugar:
Use a double
boiler (with water boiling in the bottom pan).
Whisk the eggs
and sugar in a bowl placed over the boiling water.
Continue whisking until the mixture is slightly warm and foamy.
Roots, barks, herbs, and chicken - these are the
essential ingredients for Chinese Ginseng Chicken Soup. I particularly enjoy
homemade, healthy, and nutritious Chinese soups. Making any soup, including
Chinese Ginseng Chicken Soup, is straightforward. If anyone claims they can’t
make this soup, I’d be surprised (SIMPLE AND HEARTY LAMB SOUP)! It's as simple as adding all the ingredients
- roots, barks, and medicinal herbs from a Chinese medical hall or provision
shop - into a slow cooker or simmering them on very low heat over the stove.

Abstract
Corporate
wellness programs are increasingly emphasizing mindfulness, mental health, and
work-life balance, yet yoga often remains sidelined. This abstract examines the
integration of yoga into corporate wellness initiatives and the benefits it
offers. Despite the growing popularity of mindfulness practices such as
meditation and breathwork, which originate from yoga philosophy, many
organizations overlook yoga's comprehensive benefits. This study explores the
disconnect between the promotion of wellness practices and the actual
incorporation of yoga into corporate programs. It highlights the extensive
benefits of corporate yoga, including improved mental clarity, stress
reduction, physical health, and enhanced workplace morale.
When it comes to cooking, do you really need every ingredient listed in a recipe? Not necessarily. If you’re the type who follows recipes to the letter, you might feel compelled to gather every single ingredient. But if you’re like Ms. Nava, you’ll consider what you already have and adapt the recipe accordingly (MALAY DESSERTS MADE SIMPLE).
Making do with what you have often involves a bit of creative thinking and improvisation. Take, for example, making pulut inti. Traditionally, it requires banana leaves, but if you’re missing them, why not adapt? I did just that using my Pyrex dish to craft a delicious serving of Pulut Inti. See? You don’t need everything to be perfect to be a food hero (KUIH SAGO KUKUS).
Always a classic and a favorite in my kitchen — Sambal
Telur, or Egg Sambal. No matter how many times I make this easy Malaysian egg
recipe, it never gets old. This version has a special twist: the addition of dried
shrimps, which truly elevate the flavor. Have you tried a sambal telur with
dried shrimps before? It adds depth and takes the traditional egg sambal to the
next level.
Nothing beats fresh
turmeric for that vibrant yellow hue, beautifully contrasting the rich red
sambal. It also brings a lovely, fresh scent. You can use basil leaves or swap
in any herbs you like.

Abstract
Yoga,
an ancient practice combining breathwork, physical postures, and mindfulness,
has emerged as a potent tool for improving mental health. This article
investigates the therapeutic benefits of yoga in addressing stress, anxiety,
and depression. It reviews recent academic studies to highlight how yoga's
integrative approach - through breath regulation, mindful movement, and
relaxation - enhances emotional resilience and mental clarity. The paper
contrasts yoga with conventional mental health interventions and emphasizes its
role as a complementary therapy. By examining current evidence and theoretical
perspectives, the study advocates for the integration of yoga into mental
health practices, underscoring its potential to rejuvenate and stabilize the
mind amidst the demands of modern life.
Keywords: Yoga, Mental Health, Stress Relief, Anxiety Management, Depression, Breathwork, Mindfulness, Emotional Resilience, Complementary Therapy.
Forget store-bought fish balls! I ventured into making homemade Fish Ball Noodle Soup from scratch, and it was absolutely worth it. These hand-rolled fish balls, simmered in a rich broth made from fish bones and skin, were bouncy, soft, and completely odor-free.

Abstract
Loneliness
among older adults, particularly within the Indian community in Malaysia,
presents a significant issue exacerbated by cultural and social dynamics. This
article explores the manifestations and contributing factors of loneliness
among older Indian individuals, focusing on their interactions, social
behaviors, and the impact of modern technology. The study highlights how older
Indians exhibit heightened levels of loneliness compared to other ethnic
groups, influenced by societal changes and family dynamics. Key findings reveal
that loneliness is frequently expressed through excessive social media use,
persistent communication attempts, and the seeking of validation through
personal achievements.
Malay food, on the other hand, is deeply rooted in the traditions of local communities, especially in Balik Pulau and Seberang Perai. Influenced by kampung (village) cooking and flavours from nearby northern states like Kedah and Perlis, Penang’s Malay food stands out with its own distinct identity and taste.
