For garnish:
Coriander leaves chopped- 1tbsp
Grated coconut- 1 tbsp
Method:
Boil or microwave the mixed vegetables till just soft and keep aside. Heat oil in a pan, add mustard, black gram, bengal gram, cashew nut and allow to splutter/ brown. Add curry leaves, green chillies, ginger, asafoetida and saute for a minute. Add chopped onion and saute further. When onion turns translucent, add the semolina and roast on low heat for two minutes. Add the mixed vegetables, turmeric powder, salt and sugar and mix. Add the hot water, reserving a little. Mix well and close the pan. Cook on low heat until all the water is absorbed. Add the remaining water if needed. If semolina is not so fine, more water may be required. Finally add shredded coconut, coriander leaves and ghee (optional) and cover. Switch off the stove. Mix well after 5 minutes.
Ingredients:
Baby potatoes, Small Brinjals and Baby onions- 500 gms in all
Coriander leaves- 1 big bunch- Remove any stalk and Chop leaves
Grated dry coconut- 4 tablespoons
Roasted Peanuts coarsely powdered- 4 tablespoons
Haldi powder- .5 teaspoon
Sugar- 1 teaspoon
Garam masala- 1 teaspoon
Oil- 3 tablespoons
Salt to taste
Method:
Slit the vegetables twice such that the pieces do not fully separate and are attached at one end and soak in salted water for 15 minutes. Mix half the oil and the rest of the ingredients into a mixture for stuffing. Stuff the vegetables with this, reserving some mixture to sprinkle on top. Heat the balance oil in a kadai and add the stuffed vegetables. Cover the kadai with a plate and pour some water on the plate. This will ensure that the vegetables stay moist. Cook over slow heat. Remove lid and gently turn the vegetables a few times. When the vegetables are done, add a dash of lemon juice to the balance masala mixture and add to the contents. Remove and serve.
SVN Cheat Sheet
Aug 1
Reference: The SVN user manual
These instructions will create a repository on your local disk with capability to support multiple projects. I use the file structure layout recommended in the SVN user guide.
Using one common repository for all projects:
Pros:
- One place to hold all your projects. One set of hook programs/scripts.
Cons:
- Each project may have different event triggers (e.g. who gets emailed when a check in is made). Hook scripts need to manage these issues.
- Revision numbers are global to the repository. So though no changes have been made to a project it will still get a new rev number if some other project gets checked in.
The recommended directory structure (in svnbook):
MyMainSvnDirectory/
Proj1/
trunk/
tags/
branches/
Proj2/
trunk/
tags/
branches/
Creating a Repository:
svnadmin create MyProjects/
This will create the following under MyProjects/
MyProjects/
README.txt
conf
dav
db – Holds the versioned filesystem
format
hooks
Initial import:
svn import Proj1 file:///Full_Path/MyProjects/Proj1/ -m “Initial import”
This will copy files in Proj1 into the directory Proj1 in the repository. After the import is done the original directory is NOT converted into a working copy. You need to check out the code in a separate directory.
Checking out code:
svn checkout file:///Full_Path/MyProjects/Proj1 WorkingDir
This will check out the latest committed copy of Proj1 into WorkingDir
Adding a new file:
svn add filename
Do this from a checked out working directory
Deleting a file:
svn delete filename
Examining changes:
svn status
svn diff
Resolving conflicts:
svn update
svn resolve
Commit changes:
svn commit
Browsing the repository:
svn list file:///Full_Path/MyProjects
svn list file:///Full_Path/MyProjects/trunk
Creating a branch:
svn copy file:///Full_Path/MyProjects/Proj1/trunk file:///Full_Path/MyProjects/Proj1/braches/branch1 -m “Creating a new branch”
Creating a tag works the same way except you copy to the tags directory.

Grism is a free software under GNU Public License. It is tool to watch live stock market quotes,. It derives the quotes of equity, indices, and mutual funds through Yahoo Finance Ruby Module. Therefore quotes from all the markets covered by Yahoo finance are available in Grism. Quotes from the two Major Indian Stock Markets, namely National Stock Exchange and Bombay Stock Exchange can be added to the list.
Grism has two Main Components, namely Watchlists and Portfolio. Unlimited number of stocks can be added to the Watchlists. There is no ceiling on the number of Watchlists that can be created. The Watchlists provides Price view and Ratio View. Comparison with Watch start value is provided. The portfolio view shows purchase value and current value of stock as also the gains on date. Stocks are added using the stock symbols. If one does not have readily the stock symbol indicator, then it can be obtained the Yahoo financing Website. Grism also provides a limited chart view.
Grism is a easy to use useful software for tracking the equity portfolio as also observing stock price behavior.
