Hello my blog friends , sorry for taking so long to pen my thoughts . I have been struggling to resonate my ideas but I just didn’t feel like doing anything . Was Juggling with hell lot of ideas but my mind didn’t allow my fingers to type in anything. It’s been a year now, sighs , so I told myself what the heck I’m not going to pick any theme or topic to pen today . This time my fingers will follow only my heart and whatever it says I’m gonna write . So friends pardon me if I hurt you or if you think you can appreciate me if I’m able to give you a smile .

Do you ever have this kind of feeling when you just don’t want to do anything , anything means anything . All you want is to stay alone , don’t talk just gaze at the sky . I have this kind of feelings almost everyday . I know I’ll be judged or may be whoever reads laughs whatever it is I’m giving you some topic to discuss hahaha . See solves sole purpose of this blog which is tickling people’s mind and heart .

So a year passed couldn’t bring myself to live my life the way I would want like laughing , giggling , struggling , blah blah .

But now is the phase where everyone is going through rough phase which is Covid-19 phase . The most nerve wrecking phase. To bring life to normalcy my friends are doing so many virtual events so that we all can be involved in our passion and we don’t go inside any darkness . Kudos to all of them .But what will you do to the person who is already in dark.

For example , I love love to dance but when my friend added me to virtual dance group where she choreographed a dance which I just loved so much but my mind doesn’t allow me to practice , it doesn’t . My heart pushes me but my mind stops me . Wow two integral part of your body and they always fight . So does it mean that I’m not passionate enough ?

I love chit chatting but when my friends organized a virtual chit chatting session I didn’t join because I didn’t feel like having chats with anyone does that mean I don’t have any interest in chit chatting or I’m going through depression phase or I’m looking to fill the vacuum in life ?? Do you all have these feelings ? Guys guys stop raising eyebrows.

I know where this write up is heading, towards a phase of people’s life which is depression . Yes I know what you are thinking . Oops how can she be depressed she smiles , laughs all the time . I know right but I go through this phase a lot .

I get depressed when I see people judging you when you are not responding in social media and giving you the title of snooty . I get depressed when I see relationships are defined based on social media interactions . Couple of years back there was/were no social media but did we define relationship back then . I think bondage were so strong there was nothing to show to entire world whatever you did was for that relation. Looking at social media interaction and people judging you based on social media I find it very depressing.

I get depressed when I see people bringing their ego in relationship and spoils the relationship. Life is too short my friends and it’s very unpredictable at least we all know by this time .Embrace the relationship and appreciate what you have and don’t bring ego or social media to represent or spoil the relationship.

I wonder what we lack in life is good listener at-least that’s what I lack , everyone is so busy with their own thoughts that they hardly have time to sit and listen to you without judging you . I do have couple of friends though , who listens and don’t judge . You know when we go through tough phases that’s when you realize who are your true friends who really takes care of you and thinks about you. Sometime I feel if there was a place with people who lends their ears to listen to you and give that shoulder to cry on this entire world would have been so cheerful . No medicine can make anyone happy . Time , ears , shoulder , love , compassion are the key ingredients of life which you can give to others and you can acquire those ingredients to give it to others and not hatred , gossiping , judging right ? Just lend your ears to a depressed person and promise yourself whatever he or she shares you will keep it to yourself and convey these magical words to that person “I’m there for you , if you want to cry cry I’m there to wipe your tears “. These words will help that person to come out of darkness and do wonders . Help that person to identify the goal on what he or she wants from life .

When you end up having all the responsibilities and do-not have time or space for yourself that’s when I guess this feeling arrests you . When you are in jail of depression even if world permits you to have your life you can’t or you don’t want, as you start liking this jail . The reason I’m pouring my heart is because I want to come out of this jail and follow my passion of singing , dancing , writing . I really don’t want to waste my passion and I don’t want to regret in my life thinking what if I did that …. The first step I took was To make my heart and mind come to an agreement to allow my fingers resume my writing passion so here I’m back !!! Hopefully I’m able to tickle your heart and mind . And now it’s the time for your stomach as , if your stomach is happy you have a healthy wealthy happy heart and mind what say ???

I’m sharing the recipe which is like my soulmate . I can eat everyday , anytime , anyplace , in any circumstances and that’s called Momo / Dimsum/ dumpling / so on and on and sharing this recipe with you all , gives me immense pleasure and I’m pretty sure this would make you all happy .

Here are the steps :-

These are completely my own version . You can add any vegetables or any stuffings you want.

Finely Chop cabbages, mushrooms, onions .

Make a paste of ginger , garlic and green chili .

Marinate the grounded chicken or lamb with ginger , garlic and chili paste for 2-3 hours . Don’t add any salt during this time .

Then add chopped vegetables and salt . If you are making with chicken add little butter to give that juicy texture when you gulp the dumpling ummm your mouth will be filled with heaven and each and every cell of your body starts dancing . A complete moksha.

I used wanton wrapper but you can also make dumpling dough at home .

How do make dough ,mix all purpose flour , salt , baking powder and water . Knead well so that you get a soft dough . Let it rest for 30 minutes . Make small balls and roll those small balls to give a tortilla shape.

Now fill the chicken mixture and give any shape . While you are filling dumplings start boiling the water so that you can steam the dumpling .

In the water you can add little garlic , chicken bone/ lamb bone or add some Vegetables and this broth can be treated as a soup which is a great combination with Momo . I love my Momo with soup and spicy chutney . I know I know how much you want to eat this right now . While penning this recipe My mouth is filled with water ( hahahaha)

You can make this completely vegetarian just don’t add meat .

You can also make filling with boiled potatoes, spinach and seasoning . You can make seafood Momo too . You can freeze the prepared dumpling and just do shallow pan fry . So many variations right .
