Since dating can be stressful, there is the possibility of humor to try to reduce tensions. In a new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Rosenfeld found that heterosexual couples are more likely to meet a romantic partner online than through personal contacts and connections. Since 1940, traditional ways of meeting partners – through family, in church and in the neighborhood – have all been in decline, Rosenfeld said. The company has said that this app is single, progressive and specially designed for the Gen Z market.
So it's taken that pressure off, this has to be a friendship interaction, and this has to be a romantic interaction. The platforms highlighted below are legal, so you don't have to worry about getting scammed. OurTime.com is a dating site that caters to singles 50 years and older. Registration is free, and you can view profiles of singles in your area. The app is easy to use, and you can connect with local singles that interest you. Starting a conversation here is very easy because your potential matches are meant to comment on a specific piece of information on your profile.
They are oriented on varied countries and on the varied nationalities. There hookupguru the sites with the diverse prices and the diverse functionalities. You will need a premium membership to use the site's full potential. For example, messaging people as a free member lets you only use the message feature to send site-generated icebreakers, while Standard members can only send winks and add folks to their favorites.
- Meetup.com is another popular platform, however it's not built around dating.
- Research from Berkeley University in California suggests there is a dropoff in interest after online daters meet face-to-face.
- This may have something to do with most of its features being free.
- Three-in-ten U.S. adults say they have ever used a dating site or app, according to a Pew Research Center survey conducted July 5-17, 2022.
- A line of research initiated in recent years links dark personality traits to the reasons for using Tinder.
So until then, I'm delighted and would like to say thank you towards the present software for providing usa together. I got most positive and negative experiences previously, and many consumers actually shattered the emotions.
How to use dating apps like a pro
The date can be online or physical, with the latter costing the paying party any expenses incurred during the meet-up. If the date is to take place in a venue that requires an entry fee, your partner should pay for that too. As to how much you get to take home, the going rate averages $80 to $100 per date. Also, as an attractive member, you have an option to negotiate the bid if you feel the amount is too. After submitting your request, you'll receive a confirmation email giving you access to the site. This is an adult dating website where bids are placed to win a date.
The Dangers of Dating App Meet-Ups
Reverting to characteristics of traditional sexual scripts, women may find themselves further entrenched in unwanted gender roles. Feminist Gail Dines has opined that pornography is "a cultural force that is shaping the sexual attitudes of an entire generation" and a "major form of sex ed today for boys."
Most importantly, you get to set the budget for the entire date. What this means is that you get to keep the full-price amount. Finally, you don't have to disclose your personal identity if you are not comfortable with a bidder. For the chance to get paid to date a millionaire or just the average Joe, you pay a subscription fee of $59.99 for 30 days.
Basically, you're given a random profile with the option to either "like" them or "X" cross them out – sort of like Tinder's swipe feature. Most of the members on SearchingforSingles are from the US, but you can still find users worldwide! Plus, there are also more women than men on this hookup site, if that's what you're after. Tinder has been called the harbinger of the hookup-fueled "dating apocalypse." But the truth of the matter is, hooking up isn't anything new . And as for Tinder, sure, it can be used for swiftly finding a one-night stand, but there are plenty of other apps that are better suited for that task. You don't have to travel thousands of miles away to meet your date when you find the perfect match – as Tinder lets you only access singles near your location.

Let us help you bring fashion to your fairway. HER SAVING GRACE… Meet our CEO & Founder Jeanette Cabrera is the driving force behind SHE CAN GOLF. And for her, golf was more than love at first swing - it was her saving grace. Jeanette was a Type 1 Juvenile Diabetic. Her active lifestyle and early career in dance helped keep her disease under control for the majority of her life. Managing diabetes was challenging while raising her three children, but she knew that diabetes couldn't take a back seat just because she was mother, it was a priority because of it. She knew how dangerous her chronic illness was, and did her best to balance her career and her parental responsibilities along with her health and well-being. Unfortunately, Jeanette's brittle diabetes eventually led to her being diagnosed with stage 4 kidney failure, which was accompanied by several other complications. The prognosis was that she would require a double organ transplant, and would need a donor who could provide her with a kidney and a pancreas. Thankfully, the Miami Transplant Institute at Jackson Memorial Hospital, in collaboration with UHealth (University of Miami Health Systems), performed a life-saving miracle on Jeanette - a successful dual organ transplant. She's healthier than ever before thanks to her new lease on life. And the gleaming silver lining? She no longer has diabetes! But Jeanette's a fighter, and her story did not end there. She wanted a way to commemorate the gift of life she had received from her generous donor. She knew she needed to do something that would help her stay active after her surgery, and something that would satisfy her competitive nature. She found golf. Golf provided a healthy distraction from the world's uncertainty, allowing her to focus her energy on healing. It gave her a renewed confidence in herself that she could overcome any challenge she faced - confidence she felt in her mind, body, and spirit. SHE CAN GOLF arose out of that confidence. To Jeanette, SHE CAN GOLF means SHE CAN ANYTHING. Jeanette wants every woman who shops at SHE CAN GOLF to have the same confidence she does when she gets dressed to hit the course. She brings her keen sense of style to the sport of ladies' golf after years of rocking modern, fashion-forward 'fits in the business world and her social life. The mission of SHE CAN GOLF is to curate a collection of golf fashion brands that are bold, modern, edgy, and super stylish. We showcase apparel and accessories that are flattering and fun to wear, and as suitable for everyday use as they are for a round of golf. SHE CAN GOLF is a company created with badass women in mind. We recognize that golf is a way of life and we want you to feel confident and fashionable as you enjoy it. Are you ready to turn some heads with your Fashion on the Fairway?

The recent decision by the Taliban and one of its allies to withdraw from peace talks with Washington underlines the train wreck the U.S. is headed for in Afghanistan. Indeed, for an administration touted as sophisticated and intelligent, virtually every decision the White House has made vis-à-vis Afghanistan has been a disaster.
On Mar. 15 the Taliban ended preliminary talks with Washington, because, according to a spokesman for the insurgent organization, the Americans were being "shaky, erratic and vague." The smaller Hizb-i-Islami group followed two weeks later.
That both groups are refusing to talk should hardly come as a surprise. In spite of the Obama administration's talk about wanting a "political settlement" to the war, the White House's strategy makes that goal little more than a mirage.
The current U.S. negotiating position is that the Taliban must cut all ties with the terrorist group al-Qaeda, recognize the Afghan constitution, lay down their arms, and accede to a substantial U.S. military presence until at least 2024. The U.S. has 100,000 troops in Afghanistan, its allies another 40,000. The current plan calls for a withdrawal of most of those troops by the end of 2014.
What is hard to figure out is why the White House thinks any of its demands-with the exception of the al-Qaeda proviso-have even a remote possibility of being achieved? Or exactly what the Americans think they are going to be "negotiating" with Mullah Omar of the Taliban, Gulbuddin Hekmatyar of Hezb-i-Islami, or Sirajuddin Haqqani of the Haqqani Group?
The Obama administration's initial mistake was to surge some 33,000 troops into Afghanistan with the aim of beating up on the resistance and forcing it to negotiate from a position of weakness. That plan was always an illusion, particularly given the ability of the insurgents to fall back into Pakistan to regroup, rearm, and recruit. In any case, the idea that 140,000 foreign troops-the 330,000 member Afghan National Army (ANA) is incapable of even defending itself-could defeat a force of some 25,000 guerillas fighters in a country as vast or geographically formidable as Afghanistan is laughable.
As a series of recent attacks demonstrate, the surge failed to secure Kandahar and Helmand Province, two of its major targets. While NATO claims that insurgent attacks have fallen as a result of the U.S. offensive, independent data collected by the United Nations shows the opposite.
In short, after a decade of war and the expenditure of over $450 billion, Afghanistan is a less secure place than it was after the 2001 invasion. All that the surge accomplished was to more deeply entrench the Taliban and elevate the casualty rate on all sides.
The second U.S. error was to estrange Pakistan by wooing India in order to rope New Delhi into Washington's campaign to challenge China in Asia. First, Obama ditched his campaign pledge to address the volatile issue of Kashmir, the flashpoint for three wars between Indian and Pakistan. Second, the White House ignored India's violation of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and allowed it to buy uranium on the world market-the so-called 1-2-3 Agreement-while refusing that same waiver to Pakistan. Add the American drone war and last November's deadly attack on Pakistani border troops, and most Pakistanis are thoroughly alienated from the U.S. And yet a political solution to the Afghan war without Islamabad is simply impossible.
The U.S. demand to keep Special Forces troops in Afghanistan in order to continue its war on "terrorism" is not only a non-starter for the insurgents-the Taliban are, after all, the target of thousands of deadly "night raids" carried out by these same Special Forces-it is opposed by every country in the region save India. How the White House thinks it can bring the Taliban and its allies to the table while still trying to kill and capture them, or maintain a military presence in the face of almost total regional opposition, is hard to figure.
The more than 2,000 yearly night raids have eliminated many of the senior and mid-level Taliban leaders and atomized the organization. When it comes time to negotiate, NATO may find it has literally hundreds of leaders with whom it will have to cut a deal, not all of whom are on the same page.
That the insurgency would lay down its arms has a quality of magical thinking to it. Not only is the insurgency undefeated, but according to a leaked NATO report, captured Taliban think they are winning. The report-based on 27,000 interrogations-also found that "Afghan civilians frequently prefer Taliban governancy over GIROA [Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan], usually as a result of government corruption, ethnic bias and lack of connection with local religious and tribal leaders."
There is no popular support for the war, either in Afghanistan, the U.S., or among its allies. The most recent ABC Poll found that 69 percent of Americans want the war to end, and according to a poll in the Financial Times, 54 percent of the British want to withdraw immediately.
As for supporting the Afghan constitution, why would an undefeated insurgency that sees its enemies in disarray and looking at a 2014 U.S.-NATO withdrawal date, agree to a document they had no part in drafting?
None of this had to happen. Back in late 2007, Saudi Arabia carried a peace offer from the Taliban in which they agreed to cut ties to al-Qaeda-a pledge they reiterated in 2008-and accept a time table for foreign troop withdrawals. In return, a national unity government would replace the Karzai regime until elections could be held, and the constitution would be re-written.
Both the Bush and Obama administrations ignored the offer, apparently because they thought they could bring the Taliban to heel. It was thinking that verged on the hallucinatory.
The trump card holders these days are holed up in the high peaks or hiding in plain sight. Opium is booming in Helmand Province because the Taliban are protecting farmers from drug eradication teams, even blowing up tractors that are used to plow the crop under.
As the 2014 withdrawal date looms, the White House's options are rapidly narrowing. If it holds to its plans to quarter troops in Afghanistan, the insurgency will fight on, and Washington's only regional ally will be India, a country that can deliver virtually nothing toward a peace agreement. If it insists the insurgency recognize the Karzai regime and the constitution, it will be defending a deeply corrupt and unpopular government and a document that excluded the participation of country's largest ethnic group, the Pashtun. Pushtuns make up the core of the Taliban.
How the U.S. managed to get itself into this mess needs to be closely examined. The State Department under Hillary Clinton has become little more than an arm of the Pentagon, and the White House has shown an unsettling penchant for resorting to violence. In the meantime Afghanistan is headed for a terrible smashup.
The World Bank estimates that 97 percent of Afghanistan's economy is military related. The war is drawing to a finish, and there is no evidence that the U.S. or NATO has any intention or ability to keep the aid spigots wide open. Europe is in the middle of an economic meltdown and the U.S. economy is struggling.
NATO provides about $11 billion a year to support the Afghan army, a figure that will probably drop to about $4 to $5 billion after 2014. There is already talk of reducing the 335,000-man Afghan army to a more manageable and less expensive force of 230,000.
There is a window of opportunity, but only if the Obama administration takes advantage of it. A strategy that might work-when it comes to Afghanistan there are no guarantees-would include:
- A ceasefire and stand down of all offensive operations, including the highly unpopular "night raids."
- Shelving any long-term plans to keep combat troops or Special Forces in the country, and shutting down the drone war in Pakistan.
- Urging the formation of a national unity government and calling for a constitutional convention.
- Sponsoring a regional conference aimed at keeping Afghanistan neutral and non-aligned.
- Insuring aid continues to flow into Afghanistan, particularly aimed at upgrading infrastructure, improving agriculture, and expanding education.
At home, the Congress should convene hearings aimed at examining how the U.S. got into Afghanistan, who made the key decisions concerning the war and regional strategy, and how the country can avoid such disasters in the future.
It may be too late and, in the end, NATO may tuck its tail between its legs and slink out of Afghanistan. But the deep divisions the war has created will continue, and civil war is a real possibility. The goal should be to prevent that, not to pursue an illusory dream of controlling the crossroads to Asia, a chimera that has drawn would be conquerors to that poor, ravaged land for a millennium.

Iontophoresis Protocol: Myofascial Trigger Points
Myofascial trigger points have long been misunderstood and overlooked. Dr. Janet Travel] has written and studied extensively on the subject and has offered the most insights on this common source of musculoskeletal pain.
Travell and Simmons have described trigger points as hyperirratable spots usually located within a taut band of skeletal muscle or in the muscle fascia that is activated by a mechanical strain. They are painful on compression and can give rise to characteristic referred pain, tenderness and autonomic discomfort.
Trigger points may develop through acute onset such as trauma, repetitive motions, sports injuries or through a more gradual onset like gait deviations, arthritis and/or progressive postural dysfunction.
Myofascial pain may be referred to one or more muscles depending on the severity and longevity of the injury. The clinician must evaluate the client and determine the trigger point, the stressor or cause, and any other factors contributing to the trigger point pain.

Black Clover [TV]
Aster and Yuno were abandoned together at the same church, and have been inseparable since. As children, they promised that they would compete against each other to see who would become the next sorcerous emperor. However, as they grew up, some differences between them became plain. Yuno was a genius with magic, with amazing power and control, while Aster could not use magic at all, and tried to make up for his lack by training physically. When they received their grimoires at age 15, Yuno got a spectacular book with a four-leaf-clover (most people receive a three-leaf-clover), while Aster received nothing at all. However, when Yuno was threatened, the truth about Aster's power was revealed— he received a five-leaf-clover grimoire, a 'black clover' book of anti-magic. Now the two friends are heading out in the world, both seeking the same goal!

Conflict Management and Resolution
Conflict has been the most severe form of social canker that engulfed many nations including Ghana. This social phenomenon has been continually gaining grounds in every aspect of our social lives which made people to conclude that conflict is an inevitable social phenomenon. Ghana has been seen as a regional and continental beacon of democracy, peace and stability in African sub-region, yet societies in the northern and other parts of Ghana are divided and polarized along traditional hierarchic and ethno political lines. Few of these conflicts include the 1994-1995 civil war between Konkomba and Nanumba, the 1995 clash between the Konkomba and Dagomba, the Dagbon dispute between the Abudu and Andani in 2002 and the Bawku conflict between the Kusasi and Mamprusi which dates back to 1930s.
Long before the introduction of conflict management and peace studies as an academic discipline, and the advent of modern institutionalized conflict resolution and peace-building mechanisms such as the police and the court, Ghanaians had their own beliefs and practices which regulated the conduct of and fostered peace and development among the people. Notable among these practices include funerals. Interestingly, the advent of these contemporary institutionalized conflict resolution mechanisms reputed as Western or global conflict resolution mechanisms largely have cast doubt on the efficacy of the age-old Ghanaian practices which anchored the people together.
Indigenous peace-building mechanisms by implication are the practices and mechanisms rooted in the culture of the people of Ghana, which long time before the advent of colonialism and its political institutions such as the court, police, military, executive and legislature, ensured peace and security among the people. Indigenous in essence could be used interchangeably with tradition. Tradition is viewed as any cultural values, beliefs and practices which have been preserved and handed over from generation to generation and have persisted to the present. Tradition could be transformed due to forces of social change but will still maintain its cultural significance and dignity. This brings to focus the idea of change and continuity as applied to indigenous peace-building mechanisms. Certain forms of indigenous Ghanaian conflict resolution and peace-building mechanisms have withstood the test of time and are of much relevance in today's conflict endemic society.

The National insurance contributions (NICs) regime is complex and represents a significant 'tax' on employers, employees and the self employed. It is very easy not to pay the correct amount of contributions. If your business is in the Knodishall area we, at MBS Accountancy Services Ltd, can advise you on NICs and help you with any problems.
National insurance contributions (NICs) are essentially a tax on earned income. The NICs regime divides income into different classes: Class 1 contributions are payable on earnings from employment, while the profits of the self-employed are liable to Class 4 contributions.
National insurance is often overlooked yet it is the largest source of government revenue after income tax.
We highlight below the areas you need to consider and identify some of the potential problems. Please contact us for further specific advice.
Employees are liable to pay Class 1 NICs on their earnings. In addition, a further secondary contribution is due from the employer.
For 2024/25 employee contributions are only due when earnings exceed a 'primary threshold' of £242. The amount payable is 8% of the earnings above £242 up to earnings of £967 a week, the Upper Earnings Limit (UEL). In addition, there is a further 2% charge on weekly earnings above the UEL. Secondary contributions are due from the employer of 13.8% of earnings above the 'secondary threshold' of £175 per week. There is no upper limit on the employer's payments.
The rate of employer NICs for those under the age of 21 is 0%. For the 0% rate to apply the employee will need to be under 21 when the earnings are paid.
This exemption will not apply to earnings above the Upper Secondary Threshold (UST) in a pay period. The UST is set at the same amount as the UEL, which is the amount at which employees' NICs fall from 8% to 2%. The weekly UST is £967 for 2024/25 and £50,270 per annum for 2024/25. Employers will be liable to 13.8% NICs on earnings beyond this limit. The employee will still be liable to pay employee NICs.
Employer NICs are also 0% for apprentices under 25 who earn less than the UST which is £967 per week and £50,270 per annum for 2024/25 . Employers are liable to 13.8% NICs on pay above the UST. Employee NICs are payable as normal.
Employers need to identify relevant apprentices and generally assign them NICs category letter H to ensure the correct NICs are collected.
Employers need to ensure they amend the contributions letter when the apprenticeship ends or the employee turns 25.
Civilian employers of veterans are to be given relief from employer NICs up to the level of the UST (currently £967 per week) for the first year of civilian employment. Under the rules:
This measure applies until 5 April 2025.
Employers providing benefits such as company cars for employees have a further NICs liability under Class 1A. Contributions are payable on the amount charged to income tax as a taxable benefit.
Most benefits are subject to employer's NICs. The 2024/25 rate of Class 1A is 13.8% for benefits provided.
From 6 April 2024 self-employed people with profits above £12,570 will no longer be required to pay Class 2 NICs but will continue to receive access to contributory benefits, including the State Pension.
Those with profits between £6,725 and £12,570 will continue to get access to contributory benefits, including the State Pension, through a National Insurance credit without paying NICs.
Those with profits under £6,725 and others who pay Class 2 NICs voluntarily to get access to contributory benefits including the State Pension, will continue to be able to do so.
NICs are due from the self-employed as a variable amount based on the taxable profits of the business (Class 4).
The liability to pay arises at the end of each tax year as part of the final self assessment payment.
For 2024/25 Class 4 is payable at 6% on profits between £12,570 and £50,270 In addition, there is a further 2% on profits above £50,270.
Flat rate voluntary contributions are payable under Class 3 of £17.45 per week for 2024/25. They give an entitlement to basic retirement pension and may be paid by someone not liable for other contributions in order to maintain a full NICs record.
Class 3 contributions, which can be paid voluntarily to protect entitlement to the State Pension and Bereavement Benefit, also give entitlement to the standard rate of Maternity Allowance and contributory Employment and Support Allowance for the self-employed.
The Employment Allowance is available to many employers and can be offset against their employer Class 1 NICs liability. The amount of the Employment Allowance is currently £5,000.
Companies, where the director is the sole employee earning above the secondary threshold, are unable to claim the Employment Allowance.
From 6 April 2020 the Employment Allowance is restricted to those employers whose employers' NIC bill is below £100,000 in the previous tax year.
The Employment Allowance is classified as de minimis State aid (government financial support). This means it will count towards the total aid a business is entitled to under the relevant de minimis State aid cap. If a business exceeds the cap then the allowance cannot be claimed. Following the UK exit from the EU, this is now only relevant where both of the following are true:
There are other exceptions for employer Class 1 liabilities including liabilities arising from:
There are also rules to limit the employment allowance to a total of £5,000 where there are 'connected' employers. For example, two companies are connected with each other if one company controls the other company.
The allowance is limited to the employer Class 1 NICs liability if that is less than the Employment Allowance.
The allowance is claimed as part of the normal payroll process. The employer's payment of PAYE and NICs is reduced each month to the extent it includes an employer Class 1 NICs liability until the Employment Allowance limit has been reached.
Class 1 contributions are payable at the same time as PAYE, ie monthly. Class 1A contributions are not due until 19 July (22nd for cleared electronic payment) after the tax year in which the benefits were provided.
It is therefore important to distinguish between earnings and benefits.
Class 1 earnings will not always be the same as those for income tax. Earnings for NI purposes include:
Problems may be encountered in relation to the treatment of:
Expense payments will generally be outside the scope of NI where they are specific payments in relation to identifiable business expenses. However NI is payable on round sum allowances.
Generally, benefits are not liable to Class 1 NICs. There are however some important exceptions including:
Directors are employees and must pay Class 1 NICs. However, directorships can give rise to specific NICs problems. For example:
We can advise on the position in any specific circumstances.
The NICs liability for an employee is higher than for a self-employed individual with profits of an equivalent amount. Hence there is an incentive to claim to be self-employed rather than employed.
Are you employed or self-employed? How can you tell? In practice, it can be a complex area and there may be some situations where the answer is not clear.
In general terms the existence of the following factors would tend to suggest employment rather than self-employment:
It is important to seek professional advice at an early stage and in any case prior to obtaining a written ruling from HMRC.
If HMRC discovers that someone has been wrongly treated as self-employed, they will re-categorise them as employed and are likely to seek to recover arrears of contributions from the employer.
HMRC carry out compliance visits in an attempt to identify and collect arrears of NICs. They may ask to see the records supporting any payments made.
HMRC have the power to collect any additional NICs that may be due for both current and prior years. Any arrears may be subject to interest and penalties.
Please contact us for advice on NICs compliance and ways to minimise the effect of an HMRC visit.
Whether you are an employer or employee, employed or self-employed, awareness of NICs matters is vital.
HMRC have wide enforcement powers and anti-avoidance legislation available to them. Consequently, it is important to ensure that professional advice is sought so that all compliance matters are properly dealt with.
If your business is in the Knodishall area we would be delighted to advise on any National Insurance compliance matters relevant to your own circumstances so please contact us at MBS Accountancy Services Ltd.

In my dream, the world had suffered a terrible disaster. A black haze shut out the sun, and the darkness was alive with the moans and screams of wounded people. Suddenly, a small light glowed. A candle flickered into life, symbol of hope for millions. A single tiny candle, shining in the ugly dark. I laughed and blew it out.

I am on a quest to lose weight. Not mine, the husband's. It is not that I don't have anything to lose. I have enough, more than enough. Only trying to lose someone else's weight is more easier than your own. That way you are not the one giving up the lone rasgulla in the refrigerator
In this pursuit I try to pack him a lunch almost every work day. He thinks the amount I pack is not really sufficient.My friends think so, his mother too but I don't concur.
It is not that I pack a measly quantity, it is just that it has a lower carb portion, which does not satiate our carb-craving souls.
Like a true Bharatiya Nari, I pack the same lunch for myself too. And truth be told some days that lunch leaves me hungry too.
So we take along a fruit, a yogurt, some nuts(the tree kinds not real ones) to snack on
But not being the fruity kinds or the super-healthy kinds that leaves us desiring something more.
As a solution, I try to take along a legume-y something as a snack on some days, like a sprouted green moong salad or a sookha kala chana (dry black chickpea curry). Something spicy to keep us far far away from the vending machine and with enough dietary fiber to satisfy our good carbohydrate craving.
Kala Chana (Black chickpea) is a smaller, darker variety of Chickpeas grown mostly in the Indian subcontinent, Ethiopia, Mexico and Iran
Sookha Kala Chana brings back fond memories. Of the times spent in the state from where the greatest Indian Empire(Mauryas) originated. Memories of Thekua on the day of Chath Puja, loads and loads of sweet dry thekua sent by neighboring homes. And Poori and Sookha Kala chana in many of my friend's home as part of a prashad on any other Puja day. I am not sure of the origin of this sookha kala chana, I guess it has a UP heritage as I had it mostly at my friends' who hailed from there
This particular preparation of Sookha Kala Chana(dry black chickpea curry) sans onion is simple, earthy, the ajwain(carrom seeds) lending a very distinct flavor, satisfying a mid-morning or mid-afternoon craving to the hilt
This goes to Susan's MLLA 10, hosted by Coco Cooks. This dish can be served as a lovely starter when the dinner theme is Indian or Middle Eastern

Sookha Kala Chana ~ Dry Black ChickPea curry
How I Did It
Wash 1 and some cup(I used a little more than cup) of black chickpeas(kala chana) well and soak in a large pot of water overnight. They swell to almost 2-3 times their size. Keep that in mind when choosing a container to soak
Next day drain the black chickpeas(which would have doubled up by now) and cook them in a pressure cooker with a little salt. When you put them in the pressure cooker cook with more than double the water. I didn't note the time to cook, will update once I do that. But the chickpeas should be cooked to a soft consistency. If you don't have a pressure cooker, it will take a while to get cooked but you can do that in a regular pot.
Heat Oil in a deep frying pan or Kadhai
Flavor the oil with 1/2 tsp of Asafoetida/Hing and 2 tsp of Carrom Seeds/Ajwain
Add 1 fat clove of finely minced garlic and 5 finely chopped green chilli(adjust according to your heat level)
Once you get the flavor of garlic add 2 tsp of ginger paste or 2 tsp of finely julienned ginger. Fry for a minute
Add the cooked Kala Chana(sans the water) and mix well with the masala. Fry for a minute or two.
Add 2 tsp of Corriander pwd/Dhania powder, required amount of salt and mix well
Add about 1-2 cups of the water (add the water in which the chana had been cooked) and in slow heat let the chickpeas simmer till the water almost dries up
Sprinkle about 1/2 tsp of Amchoor powder and the delicious Dry Kala Chana is ready to snack on
You can squueze a little lime juice on your kala chana if you like it tangy. If you are in a place where bad breath is welcome, add some chopped red onions too for a heightened taste
Note: Sometimes I add half of a potato peeled and cubed small to the kala chana. If I am adding potatoes I do this after I have fried the masala. I add the potatoes, fry them a little and then add the kala chana

Trivia: Ajwain reduces flatulence caused by beans when it is cooked with beans. Now you know why you cook kala chana with it. It is also traditionally known as a digestive aid and an antiemetic.
