Benefits of kneading dough with milk

 In Indian households, women usually knead dough with water.  Even my mother does like that  !!!

But recently in a cookery show, I watched the host kneading dough with milk instead of water  !!!

Benefits of kneading dough with milk instead of water   -------

1.  Using milk in dough adds a mild richness that improves the taste. Slight creaminess adds the flavour  !!!

2. Milk helps to create a softer texture , as its fats and proteins make the dough more tender.

3.  The natural sugars in the milk gives better brown colour when cooking.

4.  Milk improves moisture retention so that dough stay fresh for longer time.

BE CAUTIOUS   ------

1.  Milk burns faster than water.  So it turn the dough brown too fast.

2.  Milk used in dough ferments faster. It can go sour if it is kept in room temperature for long hours.

      Refrigeration is required.

3.  Milk is 87% water. Milk is little heavy compared to water and it is better to use little less.

Why do Indian trains have ' X ' mark on last coach ???

 We all have seen the bold "  X  "  mark painted on last coach of the train.

Here are the reasons   ------

1.           Primary reason is to confirm that entire train has passed through a station without any coaches left behind.

               It is perticularly vital during night operations and in areas with low visibility.

2             The absence of '  X  '  on last coach serves as an immediate indicator of an emergency situation.

             This practice helps in   preventing potential accidents and ensures the safety of passengers as well as railway staff.

3.              At night, a blinking tail lamp is attached to the last coach to provide confirmation that the train has passed fully.

4.                 To ensure that '  X   '  is visible under various lighting conditions, railway authorities use various reflective or radium paint. 

                    This enhances the visibility of  ' X '.

What is the smallest river in Asia ???

  We all know about longest river in the world.

Its NILE river.

But here I am writing about SHORTEST RIVER in Asia 

The Tamborasi River in Indonesia is the smallest river in Asia, measuring just 20 meters  !!!

It is known for its cool freshwater flowing through a jungle.

River is approximately 15 m wide.

River features forest clad banks and clear waters fed by mountainous streams.

The upstream water is clear and cold.

Water at the estuary is warmer due to proximity of sea.

Why do we sneeze multiple times ??

Today morning, I had written a blog article on what happens in our body when we sneeze .

We rarely sneeze once.

Atleast we sneeze 2 to 3 times continuously   !!!!

If we sneeze in a row, it is because the first sneeze didn't quite get the job done  !!!!

Often the first sneeze breaks up the irritant.

Second moves it.

Third finally launches it out   !!!!
