Water level rises in river Ganga at Prayagraj and Varanasi; several houses and streets waterlogged
Amid the incessant rains in the northern part of India, major rivers like Ganga are flowing above the danger mark and continue to rise in cities like Uttar Pradesh's Prayagraj and Varanasi, reported ANI. With the water levels rising, several houses and streets in Prayagraj are inundated as water entered the lower regions of the city. Despite several steps taken by the authorities, people are facing challenges in commuting from one place to another. The Ganga water entered the Bade Hanuman Mandir in Prayagraj. Not only in Prayagraj, but similar situation has erupted in Varanasi and the authorities have prompted flood alerts. Report states that the Ganga is also in full spate in Varanasi, where all 84 ghats are completely submerged. This has interrupted regular religious practices and riverside activities. Earlier in July, the ghats in Varanasi were submerged under water and temples were inundated as the level of the River Ganga rose above the danger level. Also, the Manikarnika Ghat in Varanasi was completely submerged, and a nearby temple was inundated. Similarly, Ram Ghat in Prayagraj went underwater as the river continued to swell. In another news, two teenage brothers were killed after a wall near their residence collapsed in Varanasi, PTI quoted police as saying on Wednesday. The victims were identified as Santosh Kumar Gautam (19) and Ankit Kumar Gautam (16), sons of Aditya Kumar Gautam. According to Sub-Divisional Magistrate (Sadar) Amit Kumar, the incident occurred in Bhatholi village when the brothers were returning from their fields, and a wall near their house collapsed. They got buried under the debris and died on the spot. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has expressed condolences and directed officials to provide immediate financial assistance to the bereaved family. Following this, the district administration has transferred a total of ₹ 8 lakh — ₹ 4 lakh for each deceased — from the State Disaster Response Fund to the family's bank account, the SDM added.

How To Make Crispy Onion Pakoras: Chef-Style Tips For Perfect Crunch
Crispy onion pakoras are one of the most loved monsoon snacks in India. These deep-fried fritters made with sliced onions and gram flour are crunchy, spicy, and perfect with a cup of masala tea. Whether you call them onion bhajiya or kanda bhaji, this Indian pakora recipe is a go-to during rainy evenings. But making them crispy at home can be tricky. If your pakoras turn out soggy or lack crunch, they will not taste as satisfying. This guide breaks down simple tips and tricks to help you make perfectly crispy onion pakoras every time. Why Onion Pakoras Are Popular Monsoon Snacks Onion pakoras are a go-to monsoon snack for a season. They are quick to prepare, easy to customise, and work beautifully with chutneys or ketchup. In Maharashtra, they are popularly known as kanda bhajiya and are often served on roadside stalls piping hot with masala tea. The aroma of pakoras frying is almost synonymous with rainy evenings in India. To make onion pakoras at home, keep these key ingredients ready: 2 to 3 medium-sized onions (sliced thinly) 1 cup gram flour (besan) 1 teaspoon red chilli powder 1 teaspoon coriander powder Salt to taste A pinch of turmeric powder (optional) Chopped curry leaves Crushed kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves) Optional: crushed coriander seeds or pomegranate seeds 1 to 2 teaspoons of hot oil Water as needed (minimal) Optional: 1 tablespoon rice flour or semolina (for extra crispiness) Oil for deep frying How To Make Crispy Onion Pakoras: Step-By-Step Tips 1. Cut Onions Uniformly For Even Texture Slicing onions evenly is key to achieving the perfect crunch. Avoid chopping them too thin or too thick. Uneven cuts lead to uneven frying, which impacts both flavour and texture. 2. Keep The Pakora Batter Thick, Not Runny Do not add too much water. The batter should be semi-dry. Mix the dry ingredients first-gram flour, spices, and herbs-before adding onions. Let the onions release moisture naturally to bind the mixture. Sprinkle extra besan if needed to tighten the mix. 3. Add Hot Oil For Crunchier Pakoras Mixing one to two teaspoons of hot oil into the batter makes the pakoras crispier when fried. You can also include rice flour or semolina for extra crunch.

For more depth of flavour, toss in some crushed coriander seeds or pomegranate seeds. 5. Fry Pakoras On Medium Heat For Even Cooking Heat the oil properly, then bring it down to medium. Dropping pakoras into extremely hot oil will cook the outside too quickly and leave the inside raw. Turn them gently and fry until golden brown. 6. Drain Excess Oil Properly After frying, place the pakoras on a sieve or kitchen towel to remove excess oil. You can sprinkle chaat masala at this stage. Serve hot with chutney, ketchup or masala chai. Best Chutneys To Serve With Onion Pakoras Pair your onion pakoras with these popular chutneys for the full experience: Green coriander-mint chutney Tamarind chutney Spicy garlic chutney Tomato ketchup (for a classic twist) Onion Pakora Variations You Can Try If you want to change things up, try these onion pakora variations: Stuffed onion rings: Dip whole onion rings in batter and fry Onion and spinach pakora: Add chopped spinach for a greener version Mixed veg pakora: Add grated carrots, potatoes, or cabbage Cheesy onion pakora: Mix in some grated cheese for indulgence These versions still hold on to the crunch factor while adding new flavours to the classic snack. The best onion pakoras are always served hot and fresh. Avoid reheating, as the texture can become chewy. Prepare the batter just before frying and serve immediately for that restaurant-style crunch at home.
