Recently
I got a reality check when a renowned school asked a five and a half
year old child was asked to write a one and a half hours of exam
consisting of
3 subjects( Math, English and Hindi to be specific). I said to myself
what kind of future we are presenting to our children where from such a
tender age a child is subjected to academics only and no sports and
co-curricular activities? However, I am hopeful
that considering the information age we live in which informs us about
live cases about ill effects of over burdening the child with books ,
many parents have started to raise their voice and sooner or later
schools would have no alternative but to focus on
overall development of the children. It does not help it if all the
children are forced to become either doctors or engineers , throttling
their inherent talents. If a child is allowed to develop happily and in a
free state in primary stage, only then he/she would
harness his/her talent and grow as a responsible citizen.

Ingredients:
1 cups All purpose flour
4 Onions (almost of same size) and cut into rings
1 tsp Cornflour
1 cup Buttermilk*
A pinch of soda
1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper powder
1 tsp Chat masala
2 tbsp finely chopped Coriander leaves
Salt to taste
Oil for deep frying
Method:
* To make buttermilk take a cup of milk and add 1 tbsp vinegar and let this sit for 5 minutes. Your homemade buttermilk is ready !!! Combine flour, cornflour, pepper powder, soda, salt in a large bowl and mix well to make smooth lump free batter.
The batter should be of pouring consistency. Heat oil in a deep frying pan and test the oil temperature by first dropping an onion ring into the hot oil, it should bubble straight away. Now dip the onion rings in the prepared batter and drop 5-6 onion rings at a time (don't over crowd the pan) and fry until golden. Drain on absorbant paper, sprinkle a little chaat masala over it and toss well. Serve immediately with tomato ketchup
I could have all those, they look really crispy, with ketchup they will go in a minute!
