Steps to make Lahori Samosa Chat:
  1. To Make Chole - - Soak dried chickpeas overnight in 4 cups water. In the morning drain the water, and then rinse the chickpeas.
  2. Transfer the chickpeas to a pressure cooker and then add the whole spices- green cardamom, black peppercorn, bay leaves and cinnamon stick.
  3. Also add black tea bags, water (around 4 to 5 cups) and salt. Please note: the tea bags are for giving the chole a dark colour. They do not impart any taste to the final product.
  4. Pressure cook on high heat for 2 whistles. After that lower the flame to medium and let the chickpeas cook for another 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the cooker from heat and allow the pressure to release naturally.
  5. You should be able to press the chickpeas easily with your fingers once cooked. Set aside.
  6. If using Instant Pot cook for 30 minutes on high pressure with natural pressure release.
  7. Start making the masala. Heat oil in a pan on medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the grated/pureed onions to it.
  8. Cook the onions until the raw smell goes away completely, around 5-6 minutes. Then add the ginger-garlic paste and cook for 1 minute.
  9. Add the pureed tomatoes and mix. Cover and cook the tomatoes for 15 minutes on medium heat, stir once or twice in between. This step is important, so do not rush cooking the tomatoes.
  10. Once the tomatoes are cooked, add the chole masala, red chilli powder, paprika powder, cumin powder and more salt. Mix and cook the spices for 1 minute.
  11. Add the cooked chickpeas into the pan and stir. Cover and let the curry simmer for around 30 minutes on low-medium heat. Again, don't rush the step for best tasting chole. The curry will thicken considerably and that's what we want for the chaat.
  12. The curry is now done. Taste test and adjust salt etc. at this point. Let it simmer while you make the tempering.
  13. For the tempering,..
  14. Heat ghee in a pan on medium heat. Once the ghee is hot, add the ginger julienne to it and fry until it starts turning golden brown in colour. Transfer the fried julienne to the curry.

Turn to Food to Boost Your Mood

A lot of us think that comfort foods are bad for us and that we need to avoid them. However, if your comfort food is candy or junk food this can be true. Otherwise, comfort foods can be really nutritious and good for you. There are some foods that actually can raise your moods when you consume them. If you are feeling a little bit down and you need an emotional pick me up, try a number of these.

Eggs, you may be astonished to find out, are terrific at combating depression. You should make sure, though, that what you make includes the yolk. The egg yolk is the most important part of the egg iwhen it comes to helping elevate your mood. Eggs, specifically the yolks, are loaded with B vitamins. These B vitamins are fantastic for helping to improve your mood. This is because these vitamins help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that control your mood–function better. Try to eat an egg and feel better!

Put together a trail mixout of a variety of seeds and nuts. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etcetera are all wonderful for elevating your mood. This is possible since these foods have a bunch of magnesium which boosts your production of serotonin. Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical that dictates to your brain how you feel day in and day out. The higher your serotonin levels, the more pleasant you will feel. Not just that, nuts, specifically, are a great source of protein.

Cold water fish are great if you are wanting to feel happier. Cold water fish including tuna, trout and wild salmon are rich in DHA and omega-3s. DHA and omega-3s are two things that promote the quality and the function of your brain’s gray matter. It’s true: eating a tuna fish sandwich can seriously boost your mood.

It’s not hard to fight your bad mood when you eat grains. Barley, millet, quinoa, etc are great at helping you feel better. These foods fill you up better and that can help you with your moods also. It’s easy to feel depressed when you are starving! The reason these grains help your mood so much is that they are not difficult for your body to digest. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps jumpstart a rise in your blood glucose which in turn kicks up your mood to a happier place.

Green tea is truly excellent for your mood. You knew green tea had to be included in this article, right? Green tea is rich in a particular amino acid referred to as L-theanine. Research has discovered that this amino acid promotes the production of brain waves. This helps better your mental sharpness while having a relaxing effect on the rest of your body. You knew green tea could help you become healthier. And now you know it can help improve your mood as well!

Now you can see that junk food isn’t necessarily what you need to eat when you wish to help your moods get better. Try a couple of of these hints instead.
