Its -5 Degree celsius. Sun shines throughout the day but you can hardly feel its warmth.It's February and days are longer by an hour in the evening which definitely gives a lot of hope that Winter will pass by . Chilled wind makes it worse ,its then you desperately search for a cosy den. Not just a cosy corner but also comforting food to soothe the bruises of the winter soul. A hearty soup bowl could be a perfect remedy.
Nothing fancy was the idea, rather to create something from the locally available supermarket would best save the time. All that boring soup can be elevated to an interesting dish with few magic tricks. check out the magic.

Am not a chai(Tea) addict but at times i love having them. Unlike me my mom and mom in law are chaicoholic "Chai addicts". This is the story of most of the Indians who love having their tea twice or thrice a day. Most of the evenings in India is spent with chai accompanied by one or the other kind of fritters, the popular among all is the aloo pakoda.

Aam jhor is the famous mango juice of Bihar and Jharkhand, India. During earlier times it was prepared by baking and grilling the raw mangoes over chulha(Mud oven) , but modern day technology mimics the properties of chulha thus mangoes can be easily baked over any baking or grilling system.

High Medicinal Value
A glass of aam jhor greatly helps in fighting with the heat stroke both before and after the heat stroke affects the body. It helps in keeping the body cool thereby protecting the body from heat.
The baked mangoes works as a medicine and nullifies the affect of heat stroke, when applied over the body of the person affected by heat stroke.
Taste
If you ask me about the taste of aam jhor i can only say that its irresistible. I can bet that this is most popular drink during summer in eastern India apart from bel ka sharbat(woodstone cooler)  and ganne ka juice(sugarcane juice).

Bael tree is a tree of great use in India. The leaves are invaluable as they are used to perform religious rituals and is extensively used in Ayurveda. The fruit is eaten once it ripes. The sharbat or juice that is prepared from bael is a great cooler specially when you are dealing with high temperature like 45 to 49 degree C.
I have seen different varieties of bael fruit hanging in the trees. The outside of the bael is woody in nature and inside is pulpy.

Lentils are rich source of protein. I always feed my baby some or the other lentils. I myself like it very much with rice and chapati. This is a quick and easy mixed lentil/dal recipe. I am using three commonly used lentils in this recipe. They are masoor dal, moong dal and arhar dal. Addition of vegetables like eggplant and tomato adds to the taste  and makes it an awesome finger licking Dal.
