Q5 What are the health benefits ofadding ghee to chapati? A5 Subramaniam Duraisamy IT Analyst August6 No benefits inparticular, apart from having a softy nature to the chappathi in case you packit in a llunch box and eat it later. There are threeways you can actually bake any Indian flat bread llike Roti, Chappati, Paratha. The first way is todirectly put it on the burner after pre-heating it on a tawa. This will make surethat the chapathi puffs up soon and becomes soft enough. But in this method-you must immediately consume the dish and not store it in a hotpack if youprefer a soft chappathi. Second way is toheat it on a tawa on low flame and wait for the chappathi to become softnaturally. Ofcourse this chappathi will not be as soft as the first one, butstill edible. Third way is toslow cook in a tandoor over burning coal flames. This will impart the flavourof the coal into the dish and be very traditional When we are at homeand can immediately consume, there is no problem. But what if we have to travelsomewhere and need it to be packed?. In that case we cannot consume thechappathi immediately and thus put it in a hot pack. Now the problemwith putting chappathi/ roti/ paratha in a hotpack is that the steamprecipitates into water droplets and whenever water combines with atta, thelatter becomes hard. And a hardened chapathi is very unpleasant experienceunless its supplemented with a really thick gravy subji. Imagine eating ahardened chappatthi with dry vegetables subji..;-(Moot point is a hard chapatiis a very unpleasant affair. Spreading ghee or butter on top of it has threebenefits It gives a glossyshine to the chappathi even after putting it in a hotpack. Hot ghee or butterforms a thin film on the surface which prevents the hardening. Hardened chapati isvery difficult to digest. Ghee helps in acting as a natural lubricant and helpsin digestion. Ofcourse desi ghee from cow’s milk is what is used invillages…;-) For mix vegparathas, having butter and curd can help in complementing the spiciness. Q6 What is the most useful thing youknow that most people do in the wrong way? A6 Nidhi NarwalBotany is love! July23 Watering plants: Most of the people I have seen,who practice gardening, do it in a wrong way. Instead of wateringthe plant at its basal part (in soil), they pour water on its leaves only. Even if you pourwater on its leaves, then too the plant is going to uptake water through itsroot only. So watering on leaves serves nothing much in favour of plant. It'sjust cool the lamina of leaf and the plants temporarily looks fresh, nothingmore than that. Also, 99 percent ofwater that plants uptake, get transpired. Only 1 percent of water is used inphotosynthesis. Now you may ask, if99 percent of water that plant uptake get transpired, then why do a plantactively or passively absorbs that? That's because, theamount of water that plant uptake through roots, contains vital minerals in it(uptake from soil). Those are required by plant for its basic metabolism.Transpiration pull helps those minerals to reach at buds, leaves, shoot apexetc, through veins (xylem tissues). A mustard plant absorbs water equal to its own weight inabout 5 hours to uptake minerals from the soil! So, keep this point in your mind while watering yourplants. It's just basic science, you know!

Q8 Why does the microwave rotate thefood being cooked? A8 Martin BayerChef (1994–present)Fri In the rear of amicrowave there is a device called a magnetron. The magnetron useselectricity to create a flow of electrons that in turn transmits microwavesinto the cooking chamber via an antenna. In the front of amicrowave is a glass door. The microwaves bounce around inside of the microwave’sinterior willy nilly. There’s really no controllingthem once they're fired into the microwave’s cooking chamber. Since all of thataction is coming from the rear of the device, the food is spun on a turntableto help it get cooked more evenly. Q9 What is the salary of an SBI BankPO nowadays?
