Harsh Goenka Tweets About Traditional Indian Thalis, Leaves Everyone Guessing The Cuisines

India's diverse regional cuisines have always attracted people across the globe. Indian food, as a whole, offers a range of flavours, aromas and taste sensations that are unmatchable. Each and every state or region, so to say, is blessed with authentic local dishes that are an integral part of the lives of local residents. These dishes are vibrant, interesting and unique. One should never miss a chance to chomp on authentic traditional thalis from different parts of the country. And that is exactly what industrialist Harsh Goenka did recently. He shared a post on Twitter featuring four pictures of different thalis he relished from various states. Furthermore, he asked fellow Twitter users to identify the cuisines.

For the caption, Harsh Goenka added, “Recent thalis I have relished. All from different parts of our country. Let's see how many of these cuisines you can identify!”  

The first one resembles Sindhi food with a whole lot of traditional treats. The second thali shows drool-worthy Kashmiri delicacies. A sumptuous preparation of lotus stem or kamal kakdi was common among the two cuisines. The third one is Himachali including yummy arbi ke patte ke pakode also known as Patedu, patrode or patoru among other things. And, the last picture showed a scrumptious Maharashtrian thali with missal pav, masala bhaat, moth beans along with other dishes. The post received many reactions from foodies out there. Everyone seems to have had fun identifying the cuisines from different parts of the country.

Some people identified the cuisines this way: “A - Sindhi B - Kashmiri C - Gujarati D – Maharashtrian”

One user wrote, “1. Sindhi 2. Not sure 3. Gujarati 4. Marathi.”

Some users were absolutely right in their identification. “A: Sindhi B: Kashmiri C : Himachali D: Maharashtrian Kamalgatta is common in Sindhi & Kashmiri”

Tempted by so much food, a user wrote, “Harshji, reduce the tension… do tell the name of restaurants and city”

Another user mentioned, “Not at all interested in identifying cuisines, rather interested in relishing along with you. You should have once a month community (as in societal) langar and invite some of us. Otherwise, it doesn't make sense.”

“Sir I can identify several of the items, but the problem is I can't write because right now I am having my dinner thali ( bhindi fry + toor daal + desi chicken fry and garlic pickle) and believe me it is so yummy,” read another comment.

Someone wrote, “Good morning! Indian food surely has variety and taste incomparable. Early morning having a good look brought up the fantastic tastes of the thalis. Decided to enjoy that rather than concentrate on identifying.”

Many users also shared pictures of different cuisines in the comment section. Were you able to guess the thalis correctly?

Starbucks Fires Employee For Heating His Food In Company Oven

There can be many reasons for being laid off from your workplace including poor work performance, violating internal policies, and more. Well, here's another example of an employee being fired from his workplace for a slightly bizarre reason.  A man who previously worked for Starbucks was reportedly fired for heating his food in the company's oven. The alleged reason for the man's dismissal came to the fore in a very unusual manner. The employee who lost his job, shared a video on social media showcasing whatever happened during that time. The video also features the user holding what looked like a “notice of separation”. The clip shows the man preparing some steak at Starbucks. For a tacos recipe, he reportedly used the oven to heat up the steak. The video shows some text where the former barista wrote, “Goodbye Starbucks, that steak was fire”.

For the caption, he stated, “Steak so scrumptious HR investigated me for the secret recipe.” Take a look:

Starbucks doesn't allow its employees from reheating their personal food in the company's ovens. An employee of the coffee chain explained a few years ago on a Reddit thread: “Per Starbucks policy and food and safety procedures, we are not supposed to warm up our own personal food we bring from home in the ovens."

Comment
by u/mykotman12 from discussion Oven question for partner
in starbucks

But not all employees get into such trouble. Many are even appreciated for the work they put in -- with some even going above and beyond their daily set of duties to help customers.

Once, a Starbucks employee ensured that a teenage customer was safe and did not feel uncomfortable at the coffee shop. He received a lot of appreciation on social media. The incident was shared by the 18-year-old's mother on Facebook. She stated that her daughter was all alone at Starbucks in the city of Corpus Christi in Texas. That's when an unpleasant incident occurred. She further stated, “My 18-year-old daughter was at Starbucks, alone, the other night. A man came up to her and started talking to her,” wrote Roberson in her post. The Starbucks barista immediately came up to her table on the pretext of giving a free drink and a message written on the side. It read, “an extra hot chocolate someone forgot to pick up. How grateful I am for people who look out for other people,” added the woman.

She further added, "My daughter felt safe and did not remove the lid, but let them know. She said the whole team was watching over her the rest of the time she was there."

5 Delicious And Healthy Green Dips To Pair With Your Snacks

A good dip can make all the difference to snack time. Whether you're having good old pakoras or fancy spiced crackers, pairing them with the right dip is important. Many people simply eat tomato ketchup with everything. While this is certainly convenient, it does not bring anything new to the dish. Most varieties of packaged ketchup are also full of additives and preservatives that may harm your health if consumed in excess. So what should you do? The answer is simple: opt for healthy homemade dips. Just because a spread is nutritious does not mean it is less tasty. You can get the best of both - flavours and benefits - if you choose your ingredients smartly. Get started with these 5 easy recipes:

5 Delicious And Healthy Green Dips | Easy Homemade Dip Recipes

1. Pesto

The name 'pesto' is derived from the Italian word 'pestare', which means to pound or crush. Typically, pesto is made using basil leaves, cheese, pine nuts, garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper. For most of us, pesto is simply the green sauce used for making pasta. But this yummy blend of ingredients can be paired with a range of other dishes. You can spread this Italian sauce on your sandwiches, use it as a salad dressing or coat pieces of meat with it. Here are a few recipes that use this dip in unique ways. If nothing else, it's great to make and store this sauce to be enjoyed with any type of finger food. Click here for the full recipe for pesto sauce.

2. Guacamole

The key ingredient of this spicy Mexican dip is avocado. You don't need us to tell you how healthy this veggie is - its status as a superfood has been a well-known fact for many years. The dip also contains tomatoes, green chillies, onions and lime. A delightful explosion of flavours, guacamole is a chunky dip that is super simple to make at home. Click here for the full recipe.

Generally, it contains coriander, mint, lemon, sugar, salt and other seasonings. Some versions add coconut, others add tomato. Whatever the recipe, hari chutney is always full of refreshing flavours. While it's a classic choice for pairing with Indian snacks, why stop there? Go ahead and eat it with your nuggets, corn cheese balls and crackers. We assure you, the result is sure to be a yummy twist of taste. Here's a list of not one, but five ways of making this dip at home.

4. Coriander Avocado Relish

Guacamole meets Hari Chutney in this unique dip. Made using avocados, cilantro, parsley, garlic, yoghurt and seasonings, this relish can be an impressive accompaniment to any appetiser. Each ingredient takes the dip up a notch - in the end, you get a relish that is full of nutrients and flavour unlike any other. Click here for the full recipe.

Wait, What? This "Space Cup" Can Hold Your Coffee Even In Zero Gravity

A warm cup of coffee is absolutely satisfying no matter where you are having it. The aroma of the roasted coffee beans is at times enough to wake you, which is the reason that the beverage works as an energy booster for many. Coffee lovers just can't spend a day without this classic drink, whether they are at home, at work, or even outside this planet. But have you ever wondered how astronauts have their coffee in space where there is no gravity to hold the liquid in a mug? Yes, it must be quite a struggle. And, this is why researchers have developed a special space cup that can hold coffee even in the absence of gravity.  Puzzled? Well, we have a video to help you out.

In the clip, shared on Reddit, an astronaut demonstrates how to use the special cup. Nicole Mann from NASA grabs the cup, which is floating around in zero gravity, and injects some coffee into it. The astronaut then lets the cup move around freely to show that the coffee doesn't spill. She again gets hold of the cup and successfully takes some sips of coffee.

“Space cup which can hold coffee without gravity,” the caption read. Take a look:

Comment

According to NASA, the demonstration of the Space Cup seen in the video is part of its 'Capillary Flow' experiment. The cup, scientists say, functions similarly to those we use on Earth by harnessing the combined effects of tension, so-called “wetting” conditions, and cup geometry.
