There is nothing better than Russian okroshka on a hot summer day. This dish refreshes excellently and makes you feel good. This is quite easy to prepare but the result will please your family. Traditionally okroshka has been cooked with kvass. potatoes – 0.5 kilogramms; boiled meat or sausage – 300 grammes; chicken eggs – 5 pieces; radish – 200 grammes; fresh cucumber – 200 grammes; spring onions – 1 bunch; bread kvass – 1.5 litres; sour cream; salt. Wash potatoes thoroughly with a brush and boil them being unpeeled. Cool and cut into small cubes. Boil the eggs hard, peel them and cut in the same way as the potatoes. Wash cucumber and radish in running water, slice them into thin semi-rings. Boil the meat and then cut it. If you use a boiled sausage – this ingredient can be added at once. Now mix all the ingredients in a pan, add some salt, spring onions cut very small and pour the bread kvass into the mix. Instead of kvass, some mistresses use mineral water or kefir – try several ways of pouring and choose the one you like best. Finished dish should be placed for 1-2 hours in a fridge. Okroshka is usually served in portions. In a plate you can add some sour cream and greens to one's taste. Bon appetit!
Commissioned in 1632 by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan to house the remains of his cherished wife, the Taj Mahal stands on the southern bank of the Yamuna River in Agra, India. The famed mausoleum complex, built over more than 20 years, is one of the most outstanding examples of Mughal architecture, which combined Indian, Persian and Islamic influences. At its center is the Taj Mahal itself, built of shimmering white marble that seems to change color depending on the sunlight or moonlight hitting its surface.
