GOVERNOR KALRAJ MISHRA
TURNS 2 AT JAIPUR RAJ BHAWAN!
Jaipur: Today marks
the completion of one of
the most ‘emphatic’ two
years of a Governor at
Jaipur’s Raj Bhawan; a
time which has been
nothing short of a roller
coaster, where the con-
stitutional head of the
state crossed paths with
the executive head, but
the relation never
soured. And this, in tru-
est sense, is what demo-
cratic values are all
about. Therefore it
would not be wrong to
saythatGovernorKalraj
Mishra’spresenceinthe
Raj Bhawan has worked
to further strengthen
thedemocraticvaluesin
the desert state.
Kalraj Mishra took
over as the 21st Gover-
nor of Rajasthan on
9 September 2019
and soon after
taking oath, he
made it clear
that he had not come to
rest and rather he will
do necessary work on
higher education and
other issues of the state.
Over the past 24
months,severalnewini-
tiatives have been taken
by the Rajasthan Gover-
nor wherein while he

for Indian women defence person-
nel, the Centre has informed the
Supreme Court that the three ser-
vices chiefs have agreed to give
permanent commission to women
and allow their entry into the Na-
tional Defence Academy (NDA).
Additional Solicitor General
Aishwarya Bhati told the Supreme
Court on Wednesday
, “I have great
news. The service chiefs and gov-
ernment have decided that girls

ing worked out to enable
women to get permanent
commission in the three de-
fence forces.
“A decision has been taken
to allow PC for women and
entry into NDA and Naval

gender equality,
the armed forces
have to do more.
I’m happy that the heads of the
armed forces have taken the deci-
sion. Compliment goes to you for
persuading them.”
The Supreme Court has sought
a timeline of when women will be
given permanent commission in
India. On August 18, the Supreme
Court ruled that women be al-
lowed to face the National Defence
Academy (NDA) entrance exam
for gaining commission as officers
in defence services.

BJP is an undisciplined party: Dr Raghu
First India Bureau
Jaipur: Commenting
on the letter controver-
sy in BJP, health minis-
ter Dr Raghu Sharma
said that the infighting
in the Opposition party
has clearly surfaced
which clearly shows
that the BJP is an un-
disciplined party
.
He said that the party
makes allegations on
Congress instead of
taking care of their
own house. The minis-
ter also said that second
grade leaders have
come in the BJP who
have no stature.
“The sort of circum-
stances which have
been created clearly
shows that BJP is an
undisciplined party.
There are 6 CM candi-
dates in BJP. The party
recently took out Jan
Ashirwad yatra but
what they are seeking
blessings for?” Sharma
asked.
He said that despite
considerable decline in
revenue, the Ashok Ge-
hlot government did
not let the development
works suffer during the
corona pandemic in the
state. On the other
hand, he said, the BJP
is only engaged in dirty
politics. Targeting the
BJP on inflation, he
said that inflation is
skyrocketing and fuel
prices are at all time
high that too when the
price of crude oil is low.

As a result, political

solely on making

3 CROSS BORDER COUPLES WHO WERE SEPARATED
In April 2017, Mahendra Singh Girab, a resident of Khejad Ka
Paar in Barmer, married a Pakistani girl. Another two such mar-
riages happened in 2019. Two residents of Baiyaa village, Jais-
almer district, Vikarm Singh and Nehpal Singh married Pakistani
girls. Post marriage, they stayed with their in-laws for about three
months but were later forced to return back to India leaving their
spouses as the government of India denied visas to their wives.
Since then three couples have been living separately.
UNION MIN KAILASH CHOUDHARY INTERVENED
Union agriculture minister for state and BJP MP Kailash Choud-
hary, who helped in ending the separation of cross-border
couples, continuously pursued the case of Nirmala Kanwar and
assured her husband that soon they will unite. Due to Choudhary’s
efforts, Nirmala is now coming to India on September 10.

RESOLUTION
AGAINST CAA OVER
TAMILS IN SRI LANKA
amil Nadu has joined
the long list of States
which have passed
resolutions against
the Citizenship
Amendment Act (CAA). West
Bengal, Kerala, Punjab, Ra-
jasthan and Madhya Pradesh
were the States where resolu-
tions criticizing the CAA were
passed. Moved by Chief Minis-
ter MK Stalin, the resolution
said, “Democracy states that a
country’sadministrationshould
take under consideration the
thoughts and emotions of the
entire people. But this Citizen-
ship Amendment Act is discrim-
inating against refugees under
religion and country of origin,
instead of accepting them.”
“CAAissnatchingawaythepos-

The CAA, which was passed
in 2019, allows non-Muslim mi-
norities from Pakistan, Afghan-
istan and Bangladesh to acquire
Indian citizenship.

tion will have no impact on CAA

spy agency ISI written all

countries who took the Doha-
based Taliban negotiators’
assurance on face value, must
be realizing that the ISI clear-
ly outfoxed them by having
the Haqqani group included
as an important part of the
government. The situation is
best described by External
Affairs Minister S. Jais-
hankar’s remark that “the
endgame in Afghanistan was
not something which any-
body saw coming”. The big
dilemma which the world
now faces is whether to recog-
nize a national government
which has so many terrorists
as key ministers?
There’s alarm over men de-
clared as terrorists running
the country’s government.
The Taliban have shown that
there is a yawning gap be-
tween their statements and
actions. The Taliban prom-
ised an inclusive government

fear that it won’t be long be-
fore they are also stopped
from pursuing education.
There is concern that with
Taliban gradually showing
their true colour, terror ac-
tivities will increase. Visits
by the CIA and MI6 chiefs and
Russian NSA to New Delhi
for consultations shows how
grim the situation is.

TWO
YEARS
OF AN
EMOTIONAL
JOURNEY
WITH
DESERT
STATE
As the Governor of
Rajasthan, it has been my
constant endeavour to fully
discharge my duties as the
constitutional head. Our
nation and culture are
linked to the Constitution.
When I spoke in the
Rajasthan Legislative
Assembly, I also initiated
the tradition that there
should be a text of the
Preamble and Fundamental
Duties of the Constitution
he intimacy and belonging-
ness that I have found in Ra-
jasthan is my invaluable pos-
session. I consider myself
fortunate that I got the oppor-
tunity to work as the consti-
tutional head of Rajasthan. It
was on September 9, 2019
when I took over as the Gov-
ernor of Rajasthan.
After coming to Rajasthan
I went to Jaisalmer. There I
interacted with the soldiers
stationed at the border and
got to know the desert culture
closely
. Last month, I also vis-
ited Raj Bhavan in Abu and
stayed there for a week. For
years, the Abu Raj Bhavan
was desolate. Earlier, the cul-
ture of Vagad was closely felt
in the tribal areas of Dungar-
pur-Banswara, Kota-Sawai
Madhopur, Marwar etc.
One can experience Unity
in diversity by visiting vari-
ous places of the state. After
coming here, I met people fre-
quently and tried to connect
with them. When the flood
came in Kota division, an
aerial survey of the water-
logged areas was done and
we made every effort to pro-
vide timely help to the flood
victims. Under the Gover-
nor’s Relief Fund, it was en-
sured to provide assistance
to the needy who had not yet
received assistance at any
level. I also received continu-
ous support from Bha-
mashahs, universities, and
institutions. In the critical
period of Covid, the Gover-
nor’s Relief Fund contribut-
ed to the Prime Minister and
the Chief Minister’s Relief
Fund. Along with this, PPE
kits and masks were also dis-
tributed for protection
against Covid.
Life came to a standstill
because of the pandemic.
People had to remain impris-
oned in their homes and I too
could not go out of the Raj
Bhavan. But even in the dif-
ficult times, information and
communication technology
helped and through this
there was a continuous con-
nection with the people. To
implement the new educa-
tion policy, a three-day spe-
cial conference of universi-
ties called for the implemen-
tation of the policy in prac-
tice. Task force was consti-
tuted for the strengthening
of education.
In the context of global
challenges, with the context
of time, there should be an ef-
fectivedevelopmentof higher,
technical, agricultural, medi-
cal education in the state.
As the Governor of Ra-
jasthan, it has been my con-
stant endeavour to fully dis-
charge my duties as the con-
stitutional head. Our nation
and culture are linked to the
Constitution. When I spoke
in the Rajasthan Legislative
Assembly, I also initiated the
tradition that there should be
a text of the Preamble and
Fundamental Duties of the
Constitution. The Constitu-
tion Parks in universities
were made so that the young
generation could move for-
ward by imbibing the values
of the Constitution. We are
also building a University
Park in Raj Bhavan so that all
the universities can display
their outstanding work there.
During Covid, it was also
my constant effort to commu-
nicate directly with the Chief
Minister, Ministers and oth-
er public representatives. I
also called an all-party meet-
ing to expedite the rescue
and relief work from Covid,
representatives of all politi-
cal parties took a pledge to
protect humanity without
any discrimination. I also
tried to motivate scouts-
guides, ex-servicemen, Red
Cross societies and other vol-
untary organisations, trusts,
NGOs and Bhamashahs to
make efforts for rescue dur-
ing the Covid and give all pos-
sible cooperation to the gov-
ernment. Oxygen, medicines
and other equipment should
be available to all the needy
people at the right time and
in the right quantity
.
Swami Vivekananda had
given two main ideals of In-
dia. These are the two main
ideals – renunciation and ser-
vice. It has also been said that
the living are those who live
to serve others. I will try to
work for all round develop-
ment by being committed
amongst all of you. Come, let
us all try together for a pros-
perous, affluent, and happy
Rajasthan with the spirit of
sacrifice and service.

Rakesh Ranjan
New Delhi: The Su-
preme Court has upheld
the Central govern-
ment’s power to effect a
retrospective change to
the tenure of an officer
but has also cautioned
that this power must be
applied in rare cases
and shouldn’t become a
common practice.
Thus, the retrospec-
tive change made to the
tenure of ED Sanjay Ku-
marMishra,a1984-batch
IRSofficer,becamevalid
and he would continue
in his post for three
years. But he would not
get any more exten-
sions.Thishastriggered
speculations in official
circles about who would
beMishra’s successorin
November 2021.
A bench of Justices L
Nageswara Rao and BR
Gavai also directed the
government not to give
Mishra any more exten-
sion, while observing
that any extension of
tenure during superan-
nuation has to be for a
short period and be
granted for reasons re-
corded.
Mishra was sched-
uled to retire in May
2020. Since the ED
chief’s tenure is fixed at
no less than two years
to protect him from po-
litical pressure or in-
ducement, there was no
problem in his continu-
ation till November 18,
2020, even after his
scheduled date of su-
perannuation.
However, the Centre
on November 13, 2020,
retrospectively in-
creased Mishra’s ten-
ure to 3 years from the
earlier appointment or-
der of two years.
Section 25C of the Act
says that no person be-
low the rank of Addi-
tional Secretary to GoI
shall be eligible for ap-
pointment as a Director
of the ED whereas Sec-
tion 25(d) of the Act un-
derlines that the ED
chief shall continue to
holdofficeforaperiodof
not less than two years.
After hearing both
the government and the
petitioner, the SC bench
concluded that, while
the government had the
right to retrospectively
change the tenure of the
ED, it advised the gov-
ernment not to make it
a common practice.
Mishra was appoint-
ed the ED Chief in No-
vember 2018 for a peri-
od of two years ending
18 November 2020. But
five days before he com-
pleted his fixed two-
year tenure, the Centre
made retrospective
changes (order dated
13.11.2020) amending
the tenure of Mishra.
“However, the said
purpose gets defeated if
on the verge of his two-
year tenure and much
after his retirement
age, the Director of En-
forcement is given a de
facto extension in ser-
vice by the adoption of
a circuitous route of
modifying the initial
appointment order it-
self,” the petition said.

First India Bureau
New Delhi: UP seems
to be a cause of worry
for Congress leaders.
In the recent survey,
the Congress is likely
to get 3 to 5 seats. Eve-
ryone knows that such
surveys are spon-
sored, yet Congress
is upset because
according to
p a r t y ’ s
assess-
ment, its position will
not be ‘good’. Just imag-
ine, Congress had
won 27 seats in 2012,
from which it has come
down to 7 seats in 2017
and now it is being esti-
mated that the party
may not cross half doz-
en mark.
A one-on-one election
seems to be underway
in UP as BJP will face a
direct contest from the
main opposition, SP
. Be-
cause of this, a party
with a large base and
core votes like BSP
seems to be marginal-
ized, so experts believe
Congress does not even
stand a chance.
It is being said that
election strategist
Prashant Kishor had
also suggested this
move. It is being said
that even if the SP is
ready to give 40 seats,
then the Congress will
coordinate. But accord-
ing to sources, less than
25 seats are being pro-
posed by the SP. She
was also active in the
recent political develop-
ments in Punjab and
Chhattisgarh and acted
as a dialogue thread
between So-
nia and Ra-
hul Gan-
dhi.

Is Didi playing one better on BJP
as MLAs forgo resigning on defection?
Anita Hada
New Delhi: Since the
time Mamata Baner-
jee has regained con-
trol of WB defeated
BJP, an interesting po-
litical drama has been
unfolding.WhileMLAs,
in several states, are de-
fecting from their par-
ents parties in 'better
pastures' in other politi-
cal entities, in WB how-
ever, defecting legisla-
tors are not resigning
from the assembly
.
This is a legal re-
quirement and over the
years it has also become
a tradition that the
MLAs who leave the
party, resign from the
membership of the par-
ty and the assembly at
the same time, because
if they change party
but do not resign from
the assembly then their
membership is can-
celled as per the
rules. That is
why when
D i n e s h
Trivedi left TMC, he
also resigned from RS.
It is a different matter
that like him, Shishir,
who joined BJP, has not
yet resigned. TMC has
also given a memoran-
dum against him to the
LS Secretariat.
However, in WB, 3
MLAs - Mukul Roy, Tan-
may Ghosh and Biswa-
jit Das - have left BJP
joined TMC. Interest-
ingly, a reverse of West
Bengal is happening in
Assam where two Con-
gress MLAs have joined
the BJP. Soon after the
assembly elections,
Rupjyoti Kurmi joined
the BJP and now last
month Sushant Borgo-
hain has also joined the

NEW PLAYGROUND
FOR BENGALI POLITICS: ASSAM!
It seems that the BJP is
taking the revenge of its
West Bengal loss in As-
sam. In West Bengal, Ma-
mata Banerjee is breaking
the BJP and by inducting
BJP MLAs into her party,
while in Assam, the BJP
is breaking the MLAs of
the opposition parties
and getting them in its
fold. Although Trinamool
Congress does not have
a major base in Assam,
after Congress leader
Sushmita Dev joined
Trinamool, it is believed
that Mamata’s base in
the state will be strength-
ened. Even before that,
BJP is increasing its
strength as it first merged
two Congress MLAs into
the party and now also
brought the only Hindu
MLA from Badruddin
Ajmal’s party in its fold.
Phanidhar Talukdar was
the only Hindu MLA, from
Bhawanipur seat, repre-
senting Ajmal’s All India
United Democratic Front.
He joined the BJP on
Wednesday even though
the BJP has a majority
and does not need MLAs.

PARTYS’ WAYS TO REMOVE
THE ‘BRAND’ PRIYANKA?
CONG DOES NOT BASE ON
PRIYANKA’S REPORT...
It is perhaps why the leaders of the
Congress want to somehow remove
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra from UP so
that ‘brand Priyanka’ does not add to
their miseries. This can be achieved
in 2 ways. The 1st way is that she
moves out on her own party makes
someone else in-charge. Now Cong is
looking for another face, who should
be made in-charge of UP. Another way
is to have an alliance of Cong with SP.
This is a matter of trouble for the
Congress, but more than that, it
does not base well on Priyanka Gandhi
Vadra’s report card, who, after entering
active politics, has been working as the
general secretary in-charge for last two
and a half years. Under her leader-
ship, party contested 2019 LS polls, in
which Cong got only one seat. Priyanka
apparently worked hard in UP, but her
efforts do not seem to yield any result.

Srinagar: PDP chief
and former Jammu and
Kashmir chief minister
Mehbooba Mufti said
on Wednesday that the
Taliban are now a real-
ity. She went on to add
that the Taliban should
govern Afghanistan by
‘real Sharia’ law.
Addressing a public
gathering in Akhran
village JK’s Kulgam
district , she added,
“But if they [Taliban]
do what they did in the
90s, then it will be diffi-
cult not only for Af-
ghanistan but also for
the entire world.”
Chief of the JK
PDP, Mehbooba
Mufti went on to
say, “If the Tali-
ban adopt real
Sharia where
rights for eve-
ryone in-
cluding
women are specified,
then they can become
an example for world.”
Mehbooba Mufti’s re-
marks came hours after
Abdullah told that
he hoped the Tali-
ban would deliv-
er “good govern-
ance” in accord-
ance with “Is-
lamic prin-
ciples”.

Earlier addressing
the gathering of farm-
ers from across several
districts of Haryana
and the neighbouring
states who continue to
squat at the gates of the
district headquarters in
Haryana’s Karnal, Ti-
kait on Wednesday said
CM ML Khattar wants
to shift the agitation
from the Delhi border
to Karnal. “We have
surrounded Delhi from
five sides. A large num-
ber of people there are
from Haryana. We must
understand the CM’s
ploy and continue with
our mobilisation on
Delhi borders,” he said.
Commenting on the
administration’s move
to arrest the farmer
leaders, Tikait said the
administration could
have declared the ‘anaj
mandi’ a jail. He cited
the example of Mumbai
where the Azad maidan,
was converted into a jail
for over 50,000 protest-
ers. “Had Karnal ad-

Alok Gupta. Since Ab-
himanyu is not only a
junior but also an out-
sider, his failure in han-
dling the department
does not compute. But,
failure of Gupta, inspite
of beingPrincipalSecre-
tary of the dept, is a
shocking surprising.
The collapse of IT de-
partment’s system dur-
ing the major interna-
tional level event where-
in Sam Pitroda was also
a guest, has put state
government in a corner
and since Gupta, on the
dreaded day
, was the ‘all-
in-one’ of the depart-
ment, the onus of the
incident also falls on
him. The change of
threePrincipalsecretar-
ies, dispute of MD’s
charge of RajComp,
leaves of Virendra Sin-
gh and DoP’s experi-
ment on whom to give
his additional charge
has actually resulted in
dysfunctioning of the
department. Fingers
had been raised when
two years back Princi-
pal Secretaries were
sidelined and Virendra
Singh was given a com-
plete free hand to run
the department as he
deemed fit. And now for
the past four months, no
work -whether good or
bad - is being done in the
department.
Government should
appoint a capable officer
in place of Singh and
overhaul the entire de-
partment.
IT in docks, now all hopes on dept’s complete overhaul!

missioner Gaurav Goy-
al, it was decided to

ment of land for the

ony in Ajmer to Digam-
bar Jain Samaj at the
reserve rate for social,
cultural and religious

ed the recitation of the
Preamble of the Consti-
tution in the legislative
Assembly for the first
time, thereby starting a
new tradition in the
state assembly
.
Apart from the focus
on education and health
in the tribal areas, he
conducted effective and
regular monitoring for
the execution of the
new education policy.
Not only this, the Gover-
nor has taken several
innovative steps in his
tenure in coordination
with state government.
During his tenure of
2 years, the Governor
focused not only on the
betterment of higher
education and moni-
tored implementation
of the new education
policy, but also drew at-
tention of the state gov-
ernment on the issues
related to the common
man. The Governor has
got audited various edu-
cational and health
schemes executed in the
scheduled area.
He has got an evalua-
tion report prepared on
the qualitative impact
of educational and
health schemes on the
lives of Saharia, Ka-
thori and other tribes.
He even released a
15-point agenda on the
completion of his one
year, in which he talked
about innovating in var-
ious areas and improv-
ing the quality
.
Now on the comple-
tion of the second year
of his term, the Gover-
nor is seen fulfilling
most of his agenda.
Even after the Con-
gress MLAs staged a sit-
in at the Raj Bhavan
during the political cri-
sis last year, his rela-
tions with the state gov-
ernment and chief min-
ister Ashok Gehlot have
been very cordial.
Recently
, keeping pro-
tocol aside, the Gover-
nor visited Gehlot at his
residence after the CM
underwent an angio-
plasty
.
Due to his down to
earth and humble de-
meanour, Governor
Mishra has made a
place in the hearts of
the people and he is giv-
ing a new direction to
the state by giving sug-
gestions to the state gov-
ernment on many is-
sues and implementing
innovations.

Amrapali – this
Throwback
Thursday, I
bring you one
of my favourite
movies, a
period film
which though
deviates from
history, still
holds its own
as a movie-
Vyjayanthimala
and Sunil Dutt
gave one of
their best
performances!
Tumhe Yaad
Karte Karte...
Dil panchhi ban udd
jaata hai…hum khoye
khoye rehte hain…
still remember the
first time I saw this
song, Vyjayanthi-
mala in the famous
red ‘Amrapali’
dress looking be-
yond beautiful, I
was stunned by her sensu-
ous moves, expressions and
sheer grace and beauty!
Then I saw Tumhe yaad
karte karte and Tadap yeh
din raat ki – I was se-
duced by her, there is no
other word to describe
my feelings! I have al-
ways found her to be
the most beautiful
among her peers
and beyond but in
Amrapali, she is
truly like an Ap-
sara.
Watch the
song Tadap
yeh din raat
ki… her eyes
speak aloud
the lyrics!
In Tumhe
yaad karte karte she is less
formally dressed, with her
hair open, a peach sexy out-
fit – her tiniest movements
are deeply erotic. There are
just 3 songs in the movie and
most of Amrapali’s dance
sequences are music and
raga based.
Vyjayanthimala as Amra-
pali is perfect, she owns the
movie!Itcelebratesthebeau-
ty
, sensuality and dance ex-
pertise of this consummate
actress and it goes beyond as
it brings to us the balance
between life, pleasure and
renunciation. Even as the
courtdancersheisconfident
and loyal to her state, de-
mands respect and gets it!
Sunil Dutt, an excellent
actor looks quite the dash-
ing hero in the bare-chested
aggressive scenes and
brings out the confusion of
love vs duty
.
A well-directed movie,
thereishardlyanextrascene
- a doomed love, a clash of
ideologies, unmatched
splendour, riveting dance
sequences, Lata Man-
geshkar’s voice weaves mag-
ic-the songs are unforgetta-
ble – and still the movie did
not do well at the box office.
Vyjayanthimala brings
depth as she fights when
she is wronged
and her final
submission at
the feet of
B u d d h a
highlights
the futility of
war - a mes-
sage that
holds true
today also.

SPICEOFTHEGREATINDIANKITCHEN
oriander, dhaniya in
Hindi, belongs to the
Apiaceae family and
is interchangeably
called cilantro and
Chinese parsley in
other parts of the
world. Originating from
the Coriandrum Sati-
vum plant, coriander is an an-
nual plant and all its parts are
edible with distinctive uses.
Did you know? Coriander is
probably amongst the first
herbs to be used by human-
kind. The use of coriander in
cooking can be traced back to
5000 BC and there are early
Sanskrit writings from 1500 BC
that have mentions of this
herb. Interesting, right?
Using Coriander in Indian Food
In Indian food, in fact, most
South Asian cuisines, Corian-
der as a herb is an integral
part, lavishly used for garnish-
ing. On the other hand, corian-
der as a seed is used as a whole
spice or in powder form and is
one of the main spices used in
Indian cooking. Let us discuss
each of its forms and uses in a
little more detail.
Coriander as a Herb
Coriander leaves are finely
chopped and used as a garnish
for most gravies, vegetables,
and other dishes, enhancing
the overall flavour and giving
themahint of citrus fragrance.
Coriander chutney and cori-
ander-mint chutney are
amongst the most popular
freshly-made Indian sauces
that are served with all kinds
of Indian snacks like Tandoori
paneer tikka, kebabs, pakoras,
etc. In fact, most chaat recipes
are incomplete without corian-
der-mint chutney, making it an
indispensable part of Indian
cuisine.
Coriander chutney and cori-

etc. In fact, most chaat recipes
are incomplete without corian-
der-mint chutney, making it an
indispensable part of Indian
cuisine.
While it may look like a very
easy-peasy garnish, there are a
few dos and don’ts to follow
when using fresh coriander.
Coriander leaves spoil very
quickly and lose their aro-
ma when dried or frozen.
Hence, just remove the
leaves from the stem to keep
them fresh for longer.
For storing the coriander,
using a container with holes
is ideal to keep a balanced
temperature.
Coriander needs thorough
washing before use. Make
sure to properly wash and
sort out any spoilt leaves,
otherwise, it can ruin the
look of your dish.
Coriander loses its colour
and aroma when heated and
therefore, always it is al-
ways recommended to gar-
nish it after your dish is
ready and you put it off the
flame.
When making the corian-
der-mint chutney, just cut
off the roots and keep a part
of the stems as it enhances
the flavour of the chutney
andretainsitsbright
green colour.
Coriander seeds
Whole coriander seeds are
mainly used in gravies, dhaba-
styled lentils, fried Indian
snacks like kachoris and samo-
sas amongst many other food
items.
Tell you a lesser-known fact?
Coriander seeds are used in
Burmese cuisine also. When-
ever we are making Burmese
spread, there are many dishes
where we use roasted and
coarsely ground coriander
seeds for that punch of fla-
vours.
When using whole seeds in
cooking, they are lightly roast-
ed to release the aromatic fla-
vourandgentlycrushedforthat
nuttytaste.Theyarealsooneof
the many ingredients used to
make the great Indian Garam
Masala, a ground blend of mul-
tiple Indian whole spices.
Coriander seed powder
The ground form of coriander
seed is a primary spice that is
practically used in every dish,
especially, in North Indian cui-
sine. It does not just enhance
the flavour by adding a hint of
tart and citrus but also gives a
rich colour to gravies and veg-
etables.
Conclusion
Indian food has a lot of science
behind it and every spice and
herb that has been natively and
traditionally used in cooking
carries a lot of benefits and co-
rianderisnoexception.Corian-
der too has many health bene-
fits.Itimprovesdigestion,keeps
the blood glucose levels in
check, reduces bad cholesterol
andcorianderseedwaterisalso
believed to aid in weight loss.
Do you need any more rea-
sons to embrace coriander in
all its parts and forms? We
think not!
CAULDRON SISTERS
Ratika Richa Khetan, two
sisters, started Cauldron
Sisters in 2015. It started as
an exotic food gift hamper
business, but their love for
food encouraged them to
start culinary workshops,
food deliveries, and slowly
and gradually it turned huge
as restaurants and cafes
started approaching them
for consultancy.
