Eid-ul-Azha is about the spirit of sacrifice – where Muslims around the globe performed Qurbani (sacrifice) of animals, following which the meat gets shared among friends, relatives, and the underprivileged. Once done, the rest of the meat remains for us to try out different variations of scrumptious, meaty delicacies.
As morning turns to noon, the ever-so-familiar aroma of traditional beef or mutton curries takes over the house. However, the Eid feast does not only stay limited to that – starting from sumptuous steaks to an array of culinary delights from across the globe, but experiments also keep prevailing. Although such palatable trials may be quite a task, there is one appliance that can make it all much simpler – a microwave oven.
No Eid is complete without good food – be it a small meal for yourself or your spouse or a big meal for your family and friends. However, the long hours of prepping and cooking can become tedious, acting as a demotivation; and that is where the microwave oven comes in with a myriad of conveniences. There was a time when these appliances were only used to heat up food, but now, consumer electronic brands like Samsung have offered us a huge range of features that make cooking conveniences higher by many levels.
Take the much-loved Seekh Kabab, for example. Save up some meat and mince them. Throw in a dash of salt, some green chili paste, garlic paste, ginger paste, red chili powder, dhaniya (coriander) powder, jeera (cumin) powder, and garam masala into the minced meat. For extra flavor, you can also add in some lemon. With wet hands (to avoid the meat mixture sticking in your palms), place the meat mixture on skewers (ideally the ones that come with the microwaves), and pop them into the microwave. Turn the grill feature on accordingly, and voila - A restaurant-style kabab is ready!
Thanks to all the new innovations, baking a batch of gooey fudgy brownies no more requires a full-fledged oven. Whip in some flour, melted butter, eggs, white sugar, brown sugar, a hint of vanilla, a dash of instant coffee, cocoa powder, chocolate chunks, and a pinch of salt to make a beautiful, creamy batter. Preheat your oven on convection mode, and bake the brownies to perfection!
Hence, beginning from naan, roasted chicken, mutton kebabs, and beef steaks to cakes, Knafeh (popularly known as Kunafa), or crème brûlée, there comes a huge range of dishes that can be made in a microwave. For more accuracy, make sure to consult the manual that comes with the appliance, as features differ from brand to brand.
Hence, from delectable savory items to mouth-watering desserts for sweet tooths, you can make or bake anything with just a microwave. Traditional or international, a quick run-through, along with the incredible features of the recent microwave ovens, can open up an avenue of cooking opportunities for you and your loved ones.
Eid-ul-Azha is not all about comfort – from sorting raw meat to distributing it among everyone, this occasion can become hectic. At such a time, convenience in cooking becomes more of a necessity than luxury. Hence, through innovative cooking features, manufacturers of microwave ovens are now enabling the ones celebrating to have some more time for rest and fun by making cooking and meal prepping much simpler and time-saving.
Monsoon is a great time to relax. The cool air, the windy weather and the sound of rainfall casts a refreshing spell on us. Sometimes we are even tempted to go outside and spend some time soaking under the rain. As refreshing as this sounds, there are some hidden misfortunes of rain that might cause some problems for your hair.
We would recommend you to enjoy the weather by staying indoors sipping coffee and watching a good movie. Rainwater mixes up with a lot of chemicals and pollutants that are present in the air. When this contaminated rainwater touches our hair, it leaves a dirty residue that accumulates on our hair and leaves it dry and rough. But even if you are not going out in the rain, the increased humidity in the air will worsen the quality of your hair.
If love monsoon but hate what it does to your hair, here are some tips that will keep your hair safe from the dryness and humidity of the monsoon weather.
The best hair care item for monsoon is coconut oil which contains fatty acids that deeply penetrate the hair shafts to provide moisture and nourishment from within. Use coconut oil to tame the frizz of your hair, keep it soft, detangled and manageable.
Once or twice a week, apply coconut oil in your hair by warming up the oil a bit. Apply the oil on your scalp and then coat your hair strands with the oil. Now to maximize the benefits of the oil, warm up a towel using hot water, wring the towel dry and then wrap the warm towel over your scalp and your hair. Once the towel cools off, warm it up and wrap your hair in it again. Repeat this for 3-4 times, and keep your hair wrapped for an hour before washing it off.
Another great way to use coconut oil for extra nourishment to your hair is to make a hair treatment pack using egg and mayonnaise. Take one teaspoon of coconut oil, one tablespoon of mayo, and an egg. Mix it all up to make a thick paste and apply to the strands of your hair. Let the pack sit for an hour before washing it off. This longer method also has long-lasting effects that keep your hair manageable, soft, and shiny.
If you are in a hurry, use coconut oil as a pre-shampoo treatment. Apply coconut oil to your hair 20 minutes before washing it. Do this every time before you wash your hair and you will thank yourself when you see that your hair is gradually getting strong and healthy.
Also important is a leave-in conditioner for your hair. If you do not want to use a product with chemicals in it during monsoon, a good alternative is to take a tiny bit of coconut oil on your palms and slightly brush your hand over your hair to keep the frizz down.
A pro tip for you, if you can’t resist getting out in the rain, is to protect your hair before you let the rain water touch the strands. Take a handful of coconut oil and coat your strands with the oil before you go out to soak in the rain. The layer of oil will add protection to your hair strands and not let the pollution-infested water break down the outer cuticle of your hair.
Other tips for maintaining good hair health during monsoon include using cold water to wash your hair instead of warm water, a wide-toothed comb to detangle your hair, and regularly oiling your hair to avoid making it lose moisture due to increased humidity.
Additionally, it is important to remember the significance of maintaining a well-balanced diet that includes nourishing foods like fish, walnuts, eggs, and leafy greens. Prioritizing your overall health is a fundamental aspect of monsoon hair care.
It is essential to note that these hair care tips will show results over time, so it is absolutely mandatory that you practice these tips regularly. By adhering to a dedicated monsoon hair care routine, you will be able to have luscious locks and a healthy scalp even during times of heavy rainfall.
