Steps to make Murighonto (Fish head curry with lentil):

1. Dry roast moong daal into a pan until light golden brown.
2. Let the daal cool and soak in water for an hour.
3. Clean and cut the fish head in small pieces as possible.
4. Add 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt and rub to the pieces.
5. Heat 1and 1/2 tablespoon of mustard oil in a pan and add the fish head pieces.
6. Fry them in medium heat until light golden brown. Keep aside.
7. Pressure cook soaked daal with salt and 2 cups of water until just soft.
8. Heat 2 tablespoon of mustard oil in a saucepan and temper bay leaf, red chilli and paachfuran.
9. After few seconds add chopped onion and saute until onions become translucent.

11. Now add tomato puree, turmeric powder, chilli powder and coriander-cumin powder.
12. Saute in medium heat and add 1/2 cup of water.Let the spices cook well in medium heat for few minutes.
13. When spices and tomatoes cooks well and oil starts separating from gravy add in the fried fish head.
14. Stir to coat spices to fish head,add salt and couple of tablespoon of water, cover and cook in low heat for 10 minutes.
15. After 10 minutes remove the cover, fry in spices again for 3-4 minutes. This frying will enhance the flavour of murighonto.
16. Next add in cooked daal and mix well with a spatula.
17. Add sufficient hot water to make the curry thin, check seasoning and add if necessary.
18. Cook in medium heat until murighonto starts boiling and then add some slitted green chillies.

Try Using Food to Elevate Your Mood

A lot of us think that comfort foods are not good for us and that we need to keep away from them. Sometimes, if the comfort food is a high sugar food or some other junk food, this is true. Otherwise, comfort foods could be really nourishing and good for you. There are several foods that, when you eat them, could improve your mood. When you are feeling a little down and need an emotional boost, test out a few of these.

Eggs, would you believe, are terrific for helping you fight depression. Just be sure that you do not throw away the yolk. The yolk is the most essential part of the egg in terms of helping you cheer up. Eggs, specifically the egg yolks, are full of B vitamins. The B vitamin family can be great for lifting up your mood. This is because the B vitamins help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that control your mood–function better. Eat an egg and cheer up!

Put together a trail mixout of a variety of seeds and nuts. Your mood can be improved by eating peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and other types of nuts. This is because these foods are loaded with magnesium, which helps to boost serotonin levels. Serotonin is referred to as the “feel good” chemical and it tells your brain how you should be feeling all the time. The more serotonin in your brain, the happier you’ll feel. Not only that but nuts, particularly, are a great source of protein.

If you want to fight depression, try eating some cold water fish. Tuna, trout, mackerel, herring and wild salmon are all high in omega-3s and DHA. These are two substances that promote the quality and function of the grey matter in your brain. It’s true: consuming a tuna fish sandwich can basically help you fight depression.

Grains can be wonderful for driving away a terrible mood. Teff, barley, millet, quinoa, etc are all great for helping you be in a happier state of mind. They help you feel full also which can actually help to make your mood better. Feeling hungry can be a real downer! These grains can help your mood elevate since it’s not at all difficult for your body to digest them. You digest them quicker than other foods which can help boost your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel happier, mood wise.

Green tea is excellent for moods. You were just anticipating to read that, weren’t you? Green tea is loaded with an amino acid known as L-theanine. Studies have discovered that this amino acid essentially induces brain waves. This will improve your brain’s concentration while at the same loosening up the rest of your body. You probably already knew it is not hard to be healthy when you consume green tea. Now you are aware that green tea can help raise your mood also!

So you see, you don’t need to stuff your face with junk food when you are wanting to feel better! Try a few of these suggestions instead.
