Another New Auto-Drawer System

Not to be outdone by Blum, Grass too has a new drawer slide system that automatically opens and closes with a nudge.

Sensotronic is being introduced at KBIS (the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show) in April of 2008.

Sensotronic
Grass presents the amazing drawer system, Sensotronic. It opens & closes automatically and eliminates the need for handles on the drawer fronts. The Sensotronic moves by means of electro/mechanical, full-extension cabinet members that mount underneath a Nova Pro drawer. When closed, using light pressure will open the drawer fully or stop it at any position with a light tap. To reverse the action, use light pressure again & the drawer will close automatically and reset to the parked position.

Shrikhand(Creamy flavoured yogurt)

This is one of the main desserts in Gujarati cuisine. It is served as a side for rotis/puris in Maharashtra. It is made of thick curd. But I am giving a foolproof method which is equally good as the original recipe.

Ingredients:
1. Kefir cheese(available in middle eastern stores)
2. Sugar - according to your taste(typically equal quantities of kefir cheese and sugar)
3. Saffron - a few strands
4. Elaichi powder - 1/2 tsp
5. Chopped pineapple(optional) or mango puree

Method:
Mix all the above ingredients from 1 to 4. Add pineapple pieces/mango puree if you like and refrigerate. Serve it chilled as a dessert or with puris.
