- Keep a dry clay pot on medium flame and add 2 tbsp of oil. Add fenugreek seeds and when it is about to crackle add half of the crushed garlic and saute well. Add the chopped ginger followed by green chillies and saute till the raw smell is gone. Now add the chopped onions and stir till the onion colour changes to golden brown. Do not char the onions. At this stage add the tomato puree and give a good stir.
- When it comes to boil lower the flame and cook for 2 mins. Now add 1 tbsp of thick tamarind paste. Add around 4 to 5 tbsp of dry roasted chilli paste and mix well. Excess chilli paste can be stored in the refrigerator for future use.
- Add a pinch of turmeric powder. Next add salt as desired. At this stage taste the gravy. If you want it to be more tangy & spicy add more tamrind paste and chilli paste. Add water as required to get the right consistency. Pulimunchi tastes good when the gravy is thick. Bring it to a good boil in a high flame. Add in the cleaned fish pieces evenly.
- From here onwards do not stir with ladle. Instead, slowly mix the contents by holding the edges of the clay pot with a kitchen towel to avoid disintegrating the soft fish. Allow it to boil and then lower the flame to medium and cook for 3 to 4 mins. Stir the pot from the sides occasionally for even cooking. Before you could off the flame crush half of the remaining garlic clove in 3 drops of cocnut oil and pour it over the curry. Close the lid immediately & switch off the flame.
- Spicy, tangy and tasty bhoothayi pulimunchi is ready to be relished with rice, dosa and chapathi.
Foods That Can Make Your Mood Better
In general, people have been taught to believe that “comfort” foods are terrible for the body and have to be avoided. Often, if your comfort food is a sugary food or some other junk food, this is very true. Otherwise, comfort foods may be super nourishing and good for you. Some foods honestly do boost your mood when you consume them. If you feel a little bit down and need a happiness pick me up, try a few of these.
Eggs, you might be astonished to learn, are fantastic at fighting depression. Just be sure that you do not throw away the yolk. Every time you wish to cheer yourself up, the egg yolk is the most essential part of the egg. Eggs, the egg yolk especially, are rich in B vitamins. B vitamins can truly help you elevate your mood. This is because they help in bettering the function of your neural transmitters, the components of your brain that affect your mood. Try consuming a few eggs to cheer up!
Build a trail mix from seeds and/or nuts. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etc are all helpful for elevating your mood. This is because seeds and nuts have a lot of magnesium which increases your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is a feel-good chemical that directs the brain how to feel at any given point in time. The more serotonin you have, the more pleasant you will feel. Nuts, along with bettering your mood, can be a superb source of protein.
If you would like to battle depression, try eating some cold water fish. Salmon, herring, tuna fish, mackerel, trout, and so on, they’re all high in omega-3 and DHA. These are two things that improve the quality and the function of your brain’s gray matter. It’s true: eating a tuna fish sandwich can really help you overcome depression.
Grains can be great for fighting a bad mood. Millet, quinoa, barley, etc are excellent at helping you feel better. These grains fill you up better and that can help you with your moods also. It’s not hard to feel depressed when you feel famished! These grains can elevate your mood since it’s not at all difficult for your body to digest them. They are easier to digest than other foods which helps kick up your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, improves your mood.
Your mood could really be helped by green tea. You just knew green tea had to be in this article somewhere, right? Green tea has a lot of an amino acid referred to as L-theanine. Studies prove that this specific amino acid can actually induce brain waves. This helps improve your mental energy while at the same time making the rest of your body more relaxed. You likely already knew it is not hard to become healthy when you drink green tea. Now you know that applies to your mood too!
