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.

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.

Turn to Food to Boost Your Mood

A lot of us believe that comfort foods are terrible for us and that we need to stay away from them. Often, if your comfort food is essentially candy or other junk foods, this holds true. Other times, however, comfort foods can be totally healthy and it’s good for you to consume them. There are several foods that actually can boost your moods when you eat them. When you are feeling a little down and need an emotional pick-me-up, try a couple of these.

Eggs, believe it or not, are wonderful for helping you battle depression. Just make sure that you don’t toss out the yolk. The egg yolk is the most essential part of the egg iwhen it comes to helping you cheer up. Eggs, especially the yolks, are rich in B vitamins. B vitamins can genuinely help you elevate your mood. This is because the B vitamins help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that control your mood–function better. Eat some eggs to jolly up!

Make a trail mixfrom various seeds and nuts. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, etc are all fantastic for helping to boost your mood. This is because seeds and nuts have lots of magnesium which raises your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is known as the “feel good” substance that our body produces and it tells your brain how you should be feeling all the time. The more of it in your brain, the more pleasant you’ll feel. Not just that but nuts, in particular, are a great source of protein.

Cold water fish are wonderful for eating if you are wanting to fight depression. Cold water fish such as tuna, trout and wild salmon are chock full of DHA and omega-3 fats. These are two substances that promote the quality and function of the grey matter in your brain. It’s the truth: consuming tuna fish sandwiches can truly help you overcome your depression.

Some grains are truly excellent for driving away bad moods. Teff, barley, millet, quinoa, etc are all excellent for helping you feel happier. They help you feel full too which can actually help to better your mood. It’s not difficult to feel low when you feel hungry! The reason these grains are so great for your mood is that they are easy to digest. They are easier to digest than other foods which helps bring up your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, raises your mood.

Your mood can actually be helped by green tea. You were just expecting to read that, weren’t you? Green tea is found to be packed full of an amino acid known as L-theanine. Research has discovered that this amino acid stimulates the production of brain waves. This will better your brain’s concentration while simultaneously loosening up the rest of your body. You already knew green tea could help you feel better. And now you are aware that it can help raise your mood also!

So you see, you don’t need to stuff your face with junk food when you want to feel better! Test out these suggestions instead!
