Cooking rice needs perfection on the amount of water and time. Just soak the rice for 10 mins, 4 minutes pressure cooker mode in the instant pot and wait 5 minutes for natural pressure release.  Its easy and actually works as pro on busy times. Even if you invite guests you can prepare in advance and use keep warm mode.  Now a days everyone works from home office, its quite easy to cook rice without whistle sounds.

Enjoy this perfect cooked rice with any of your favorite curry. Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you.

Strawberry smoothie become my family all time favourite milkshake without milk 😜 specially for breakfast. Due to lock-down cooking frustration for mommies, this is best for you and your family to give healthy kick off the day. It is so frothy and so creamy with adding 2 tbsp of oats. Once you start drinking you would prefer this strawberry smoothie at least 2 - 3 times a week. 


If you want to change up the flavor you can replace the strawberries with blueberries, raspberries or mango. You could even do a mix of two. My son love it when I make smoothies. I’ll serve him for breakfast or brunch or  a refreshing treat on a warm summer day. You can’t go wrong with these yummy drinks.

 


 

Ingredients

  • Strawberries - 4
  • Oats - 2 tbsp
  • Flax seeds - 1 tsp
  • Honey (optional) - few drops

  2. Add flax seeds and honey as needed to suit your taste.

 "Your Hair is your best accessory."

 



Egg yolk is rich in protein, vitamins, fatty acids and vitamins like A, D, and E. These nutrients promote hair growth and prevent hair fall. Olive oil is the other ingredient of this mask, which strengthens and softens your hair, while exfoliating it. It also darkens the color and prevents premature graying. The presence of vitamin-rich egg yolk and castor oil make this hair mask ideal for curbing hair loss, especially for dry and rough hair. Also it adds silky shine to your hair without using any hair product.
 
The best part is that eggs are inexpensive, easily available, and give you healthy hair when consumed as a part of your diet as well as when you use an egg pack for hair. Try this mask at least once in a week, you'll see amazing results immediate.

New Hampshire's White Mountains are jam packed with attractions. Scenic roads make driving between them a delight. Trundle along Conway's Scenic Railroad and Mount Washington Cog Railway, sally upwards on the Cannon Mountain Aerial Tram and Loon Mountain Skyride, plunge down in Polar Caves Park and Flume Gorge, and reach top speeds at Attitash ski resort and summer playground. Offering a wealth of outdoors wonders both in winter and summer, the White Mountains are a thrill for all seasons. The Mount Washington Cog Railway’s 1900s-style carriages look like life-sized versions of toy trains and elicit excited squeals from kids. Just as the original 1869 cog train did, the replica engines push the coach up the slope. During the climb to the 6,288-foot (1,917-m) summit, one of the Northeast’s highest peaks, savor the sight of hillsides bright with yellow birches—on a clear day, the view reaches to New York, Vermont, Massachusetts, and Maine.
