IN TODAY'S EZINE: More from Goa's amazing (and ugly) world of selfish
politics... you might not believe what's happening. It's each man for
himself, and each party for itself. Who cares for the state and its people?
TV and your kids... Caution note about mobiles and the monsoons (modems
too)... Tragic tale to two drowning deaths -- a five and four year old, who
went to swim without their granddad knowing it -- at Candolim... Chilli
chicken in two versions, from Daisy Rodrigues.... and a brief review of the
Voluntary Health Association of India's booklet on coronary heart disease.

HOW MUCH TIME does your child spend watching TV?
If it is more than two or three hours, you have got
to put your foot down and regulate it. Studies have
indicated that too much exposure to the media can
dampen your child's academic achievement, writes Inacia
Rodrigues in the Gomantak Times (Goa Skyline)
o MONSOON CAUTION FOR MOBILE USERS: * Keep your phone safe so water doesn't
get in contact with it * Avoid carrying your cell in heavy rains * Use
a pouch to protect your cell * If water goes into your phone,
immediately remove the battery and contact your service centre.
CAUTION FOR MODEM USERS: Each monsoon, so many modems across Goa get
ruined due to lightening. At the slightest sign of lightening (usually
at the start or end of the monsoons), please ensure you disconnect
your phone and power cables from your modem, and your PC power supply
cable too. There's no reason for you to lose a modem!

DEATHS & OBITUARIES
---------------------------------------------------------------------
TWO MINOR BROTHERS DROWN IN CANDOLIM SWIMMING POOL:
In a heart-wrenching tragedy, two minor boys, both
brothers from Dando-Candolim, drowned in the swimming pool
in their neighbourhood resort, where they went to play
around 5 pm. Benson and Edison Pereira, aged 5 and 4,
were living with their parents who were at work, and
their grandfather. Both brothers were noticed near the
swimming pool of the resort by a labourer, who escorted
them home and informed the grandfather about their visit
to the swimming pool. Police said the grandfather told
the labourer to latch the door from the outside. Soon,
the grandfather raised an alarm that the boys had jumped
out of the window and he could not trace them. The
same labourer saw a small crowd searching for the boys,
and, on suspicion, checked the pool. Police said the
labourer saw what looked like the leg of a child in the
murky water. He pulled at it and found one child. The
other boy was also pulled out. One boy showed signs of life.
But, on being taken to the Primary Health Centre at
Candolim, they were pronounced 'brought in dead'.

At the start itself, the reader is cautioned: "This booklet is not a
substitute for the advice your doctor, dietician, pharmacist, or
cardiologist may give you, based on his or her knowledge of your condition."
It is nevertheless, an interesting publication, more so since it is priced
at just Rs 10 and conveys its ideas in an easy-to-understand language. Like
most book(lets) in Goa, it might have probably not got adequately noticed
when published; and got out of print before it was adequately noticed! VHAG
is one of the networks of groups and individuals concerned about health in
Goa. They've done some interesting work, even if they could do with a higher
profile for their activities, and more involvement of the common citizen.

CHILI CHICKEN: This recipe was requested from one of my readers. I
was not sure if she wanted the wet version or the fried version, so
I have included both.
Chili Chicken (with gravy)
500 gms boneless chicken breast fillets
4 long green chilies, slit
Oil for cooking
Salt to taste
1 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp ginger paste
2 tsp garlic paste
1 tsp coriander powder
1/2 tsp kalonji (onion seeds)
1/2 tsp white cumin seeds
Juice of 2 lemons
2 chopped onions
2 chopped tomatoes
Few curry leaves
3 tbsp chopped coriander leaves
Marinate chicken for 20 minutes with juice of 1 lemon and 1 tsp garlic
paste. Remove seeds from 2 green chilies. Lightly fry in oil and then
remove. Heat oil in a pan; add curry leaves, kalonji, cumin seeds and cook
for 2 minutes. Add all remaining spices, ginger, garlic, onions, little
water and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Add chicken and fry until brown. Add
tomatoes and cook for few minutes on high. Cover and cook till almost tender
for 10 to 12 minutes. Add fried green chilies, coriander, juice of
remaining lemon and simmer for 5 to 6 minutes. Garnish with finely sliced
ginger, remaining green chilies (jalapenos)-optional, lemons and serve hot.
Chili Chicken (Dry): 500 grams of chicken (boneless and chopped into medium
pieces), 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of ginger/garlic paste, 2
teaspoons chili powder, 2 teaspoons pepper, 4 or 5 green chilies, salt to
taste, 2 tablespoons of vinegar, Oil for frying (adding 1/4 teaspoon of
ajinamoto will give it a nice taste, but a lot of people prefer not to), oil
for frying.
Clean chicken and marinate with all the ingredients, except green chilies
and oil. Keep aside in a refrigerator for 2-4 hours. Chop the green chilies
into small pieces. Heat oil and fry the chilies till almost brown. Remove
and keep aside. In the same oil, fry the chicken in batches till cooked and
browned. Drain and serve sprinkled with the fried green chilies. Enjoy!
