All you need is 500 grams rava (a type of flour made from durum wheat), 50 grams cheese and 50 grams mashed potato. You also need some salt, oregano and chilly flakes, as per taste. Now, to make the potato bites, boil some water and put oregano, salt and chilli flakes. Now, lower the flame and start adding rava to this boiled water mixture. Add the rava gradually and keep mixing till it gets thicker and you get a dough. Now, remove this from the flame and let it cool. Once the dough cools down, make small bite-sized balls and add grated cheese and mashed potatoes to them. Take these bites and deep fry them. For a healthier recipe, you can opt for the air fryer. <h2>Meenakshi Sharma recommends home-made uttapam</h2> Who doesn't love the Indian version of pancakes, Uttapam? And they are really easy to make. Meenakshi Sharma, a teacher by profession, rarely gets time in the kitchen but when she does, her favourite go-to healthy snack is uttapam. You’ll need some idli batter prepared the previous day, along with a cup of chopped onions, tomatoes, spinach, and cilantro. You’ll also require half a cup of grated carrots and two tablespoons of vegetable oil. These simple ingredients will come together to create a nutritious and flavourful dish Start by combining the idli batter with the chopped vegetables in a bowl. Then, heat a non-stick pan with a little vegetable oil. Pour a ladle of the batter onto the pan, ensuring it remains thicker than a dosa. You will know that the batter is cooked when you notice little circles appear on it. Once you spot them, flip the uttapam and cook from the other side. Allow the uttapam to cook for about five minutes until the vegetables are slightly crisp. Serve hot, pairing it with coconut or groundnut chutney, or sambar for added flavour. <h2>Sumeeta Bindra recommends this <keyword id="23570397" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Veggie-rice-bowl" source="keywords">veggie rice bowl</keyword></h2> Sumeeta Bindra, another teacher hailing from New Delhi, swears by this veggie rice bowl recipe to satiate your hunger pangs in a quick and healthy way.

This year <keyword id="22517201" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="World-Tourism-Day" source="keywords">World Tourism Day</keyword> is focusing on the connection between tourism and world peace. The United Nations is highlighting the importance of understanding different cultures and promoting sustainable tourism. <h2>History of World Tourism Day</h2>World Tourism Day has been celebrated on September 27 since 1980. This date marks the anniversary of when the Statutes of the UN's tourism organisation were adopted in 1970, an important step for global tourism. The timing of the day is perfect as it falls at the end of the busy travel season in the northern hemisphere and the start of the season in the southern hemisphere. In October 1997, the <keyword id="19949373" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="UNWTO" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="UNWTO" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="UNWTO">UNWTO</keyword> decided to have a different host country each year to partner in celebrating World Tourism Day. This day is important for raising awareness of how tourism affects social, cultural, political, and economic values around the world. <h2>Host country for this year</h2>In 2024, Georgia, a country known for its rich history, culture, and beautiful landscapes, will host World Tourism Day. Located between Eastern Europe and Western Asia, Georgia offers a unique mix of cultures. It is famous for its ancient churches, wine regions, and stunning mountains. Tourism in Georgia has been growing quickly, drawing millions of visitors from around the world.

Tourism plays an important role in promoting peace by bringing people from different cultures together and helping the economies of host countries.

It also helps local communities by creating jobs and encouraging sustainable practices, which supports peace and prosperity in the long run. <h2>Indian Government initiatives to promote tourism</h2>The Indian government is working to improve tourism with several initiatives and schemes. Some key efforts include: E-Visa Facility: Nationals from 167 countries can now apply for e-visas online under seven categories, like e-Tourist and e-Business visas. The fees have been lowered to make travel more affordable. Swadesh Darshan Scheme: Started in 2014-15, this scheme creates theme-based tourist circuits across India. By 2023-24, 73 projects have been completed, with a total investment of ₹5,294.11 crore.

The IOA had dissolved the ad-hoc panel on April 4 while UWW had lifted its suspension on February 13 this year after WFI conducted its elections. "We are going to take it to double bench. The IOA had dissolved the ad-hoc panel . We will also approach world governing body UWW and the International Olympic Committee (IOC). They had warned that outside interference may impact out athletes," WFI President Sanjay Singh told PTI. "Two World Championships are approaching. Indian wrestlers' participation could be blocked," he feared. The U-17 World championship is set to be held in Amman, Jordan from August 19-25 while the U-20 World championship is scheduled in Pontevedra, Spain from September 2-8. UWW President in his April 25 letter to WFI President had made it clear that ad-hoc panel running the show was not acceptable to them. "In case any decision or order should be made against your federation, and a third party be designated to run the daily affairs of our sport in India in violation of the UWW Statutes, UWW would have no other option than to re-impose a temporary suspension of your federation until further notice, and which, this time, could maybe include your athletes,"UWW president Lalovic wrote. The Centre had suspended the WFI on December 24, 2023, three days after it elected the new office bearers, for allegedly not following the provisions of its own constitution while taking decisions, and requested IOA to constitute an ad-hoc committee to manage its affairs. On March 4, the court had issued notice to the central government, WFI and the ad-hoc committee on the petition filed by the top grapplers.

The study revealed the presence of microplastics in all salt and sugar samples, in various forms, including fibre, pellets, films and fragments. The size of these microplastics ranged from 0.1 mm to 5 mm. The highest levels of microplastics were found in <keyword id="630077" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="iodised-salt" source="Orion">iodised salt</keyword>, in the form of multi-coloured thin fibre and films. Toxics Link founder-director Ravi Agarwal said, "The objective of our study was to contribute to the existing scientific database on microplastics, so that the global plastic treaty can address this issue in a concrete and focused manner." "We also aim to trigger policy action and attract researchers' attention to potential technological interventions that could reduce exposure risks to microplastics." Toxics Link associate director Satish Sinha added, "Our study's finding of substantial amounts of microplastics in all salt and sugar samples is concerning and calls for urgent, comprehensive research into the long-term health impacts of microplastics on human health." The concentration of microplastics in the salt samples ranged from 6.71 to 89.15 pieces per kilogramme of dry weight, the report said. Iodised salt had the highest concentration of microplastics (89.15 pieces per kilogramme) while organic rock salt had the lowest (6.70 pieces per kilogramme), according to the study. In sugar samples, the concentration of microplastics ranged from 11.85 to 68.25 pieces per kilogramme, with the highest concentration found in non-organic sugar. Microplastics are a growing global concern because they can harm both health and the environment. These tiny plastic particles can enter the human body through food, water and air. Recent research has found microplastics in human organs such as the lungs, heart, and even in breast milk and unborn babies. Previous studies found that the average Indian consumes 10.98 grams of salt and around 10 spoons of sugar every day -- much higher than the <keyword id="19896311" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="world-health-organization" source="keywords">World Health Organization</keyword>'s recommended limits.

Google Play announces best apps and games of 2024 in India: All you need to know

The Indian men's football team was on the brink of securing a spot in the next round of <keyword id="20322326" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="FIFA-World-Cup-qualifiers" source="keywords">FIFA World Cup qualifiers</keyword> from Group A—until a fateful turn in the 73rd minute of Tuesday’s game. Lallianzuala Chhangte had placed India in the lead with a goal in the 37th minute, setting them on course for a rare away victory over Qatar. But then, the tide turned dramatically. What should have been a routine Qatari free-kick turned controversial as the ball, which had rolled out of play, was brought back by Alhashmi Mohialdin, allowing Youssef Aymen to tap it into the net. The goal, clearly illegal, sparked immediate protests from the Indian side. Despite the uproar, the linesmen and referees on the field failed to catch the infraction. And with no Video Assistant Referee (VAR) in place, the decision could not be reversed and the goal stood. <div type="twitter" handle="FanCode" handlename="FanCode" favoritecount="0" retweetcount="0" id="1800595521628999862"></div> The contentious goal was followed by Ahmed Al-Rawi's stunning curler in the 85th minute, sealing the match in Qatar's favour. As a result of this defeat and Kuwait's concurrent victory over Afghanistan, Qatar and Kuwait advanced to the next round, leaving India third in the group, narrowly ahead of Afghanistan on goal difference. <keyword id="20684835" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Indian-fans" source="keywords">Indian fans</keyword> expressed their outrage on social media, decrying the lack of sportsmanship from the Qatari side and criticising the officiating. The hashtag #Shame trended on X (formerly Twitter), capturing the fans' frustration over the missed call and its consequences. This loss not only crushed India’s hopes for the World Cup, but also their chance for a direct entry into the AFC Asian Cup 2027 in Saudi Arabia. Now, the Blue Tigers must navigate through the third round of <keyword id="21032549" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Asian-Cup-qualifiers" source="keywords">Asian Cup qualifiers</keyword> to secure a place in the tournament.

FIFA World Cup qualifiers: Qatar's illegal goal crushes India's World Cup dreams

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 27 (ANI): Ahead of his side's ICC <keyword id="152505" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="T20-World-Cup-semifinal" source="Orion">T20 World Cup semifinal</keyword> clash against India, former England cricketer <keyword id="45330" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Paul-Collingwood" source="Orion">Paul Collingwood</keyword> hailed Men in Blue pace spearhead <keyword id="1627109" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Jasprit-Bumrah" source="Orion">Jasprit Bumrah</keyword>, calling him the "<keyword id="22196639" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="best-cricketer-in-the-world" source="Orion">best cricketer in the world</keyword>". It will be a rematch of the semifinal from the 2022 edition of the tournament as a red-hot Team India will meet England in the second semifinal of the ongoing ICC <keyword id="19921630" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="T20-World-Cup" source="keywords">T20 World Cup</keyword> at Guyana on Thursday. The last time these two nations faced off in a Men's T20 World Cup semi-final was just 19 months ago in Adelaide, when a remarkable opening partnership between Jos Buttler and Alex Hales saw England cruise to 10 wicket win that forced a complete rethink in India's T20 strategy and move away from more established superstars to younger blood, from conservatism to aggression. This time around, India has more batting firepower led by experienced campaigners skipper Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, more attacking options through the middle overs, and more variation in their attack. But the defending champions will take some beating, especially with skipper Jos Buttler and his new opening partner Phil Salt both in blistering form. Speaking exclusively in the Star Sports Press Room, former England captain Collingwood spoke on the impact <keyword id="19989685" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="Bumrah" source="keywords">Bumrah</keyword> has on the <keyword id="8675" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="indian-cricket-team" source="Orion">Indian cricket team</keyword>. He said, "I think if you had a piece of paper and had to pick a cricket team, in any form of the game, Jasprit Bumrah would be the first name going on that list right at the top. It is as simple as that. He is the best cricketer in the world at this moment. The skill level, the pace, and the deception that he has in T20 cricket are incredible." However, Collingwood said that England is playing an aggressive brand of cricket and if they manage to attack Jasprit, it will have a huge affect on the game. He also advised England not to take a conservative approach and focus on just seeing off Bumrah safely. "You saw Travis Head get after Bumrah a couple of times, in the Australia match. And the impact it has if the opposition takes down your spearhead could dishearten the Indian cricket team. So that is an approach that England may take, but it is a risky one because we know how skillful and how many wickets Bumrah can take," he concluded. In six matches, Bumrah has taken 11 wickets so far in the tournament at an average of 8.54 and an economy rate of just above 4. His best bowling figures are 3/7. England is just two games away from making history and becoming the first men's team to retain a T20 World Cup, as per the ICC. On the other hand, India has not won this tournament since its inception back in 2007, and is searching for its first World Cup win in any format since 2011's 50-over tournament. India's last ICC trophy was in 2013, when they captured the ICC Champions Trophy in England. India squad: Rohit Sharma (c), Hardik Pandya, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant, Sanju Samson, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, and Mohammed Siraj. England squad: Jos Buttler (c), Moeen Ali, Jofra Archer, Jonathan Bairstow, Harry Brook, Sam Curran, Ben Duckett, Tom Hartley, Will Jacks, Chris Jordan, Liam Livingstone, Adil Rashid, Phil Salt, Reece Topley, Mark Wood.
