The Poori Mystery

Why does a poori puff up when it is fried in oil ?

A poori is made out of  wheat flour (maida). Maida is mixed with water . The mixture is called dough. The dough is spread into a thin layer over a hard surface by using a roller.  Then the thin layer is gently dropped in very hot oil .

Maida spread with the wooden roller

Yummy pooris.

The actual story begins now . The outermost layer of the dough gets very hot and looses all its moisture. That is the reason you see the bubbles sprouting from the maida. A few milliseconds later the heat starts to pass through the inner layer layers by conduction. Now the moisture inside the inner layer starts to rapidly evaporate due to the high temperature and the steam generated tries to escape but all the steam cant escape from the poori so it starts to exert pressure on the poori from the inside which results in the swelling. After swelling the poori retains its swelled shape without collapsing due to the crispy skin. If u poke the poori when it is hot it will collapse as well as the steam will burn your finger :) .

Wont believe me???? Try it for yourself

Also try making a poori by making a small cut or a hole at the center of the maida. It wont swell.

PS : When water turns into steam,its volume increases to 1600 times the original volume. That is 1 liter bottle of pure water will occupy 1600 1 liter bottles when it becomes steam.

Green Lantern

Before going into the theater make sure you have enough stuff with you to eat coz thats what you will feel like doing after 15 minutes into the movie.
 The movie begins with a fight in outer space and a green humanoid is killed by a yellow thing.
 6 months later ... ... .. . . ..
EARTH :
 Hal Jordan a test pilot and his partner Carol Ferris a pilot are employed to defeat two fighter jets in a simulated combat situation. Hal manages to destroy the jets by using a clever maneuver but later he looses control because of fear and memories of his dads death in a jet flight crash. Jordan ejects, the flight crashes and screws up the contract. At this point of time in another planet a humanoid is once again hunted by the yellow thing. The humanoid is badly injured cut manages to escape.The humanoid makes it to earth. The humanoids ring chooses Jordan to be the next ring bearer. Jordan gets supernatural powers. Later it is shown that the yellow thing is fear. Fear consumes one of the guardians of the other planet. The green lanterns primary need is the lack of fear and a strong will. The Lame story goes on with Jordan being rejected simply because hes human and has fear in him. In the meantime the other guardians plan to destroy fear with fear. So they make a  ring which is powered by fear. Fear takes control of a scientist(Hector Hammond) and he turns loose. Lantern gives his ring to hector to please him and thereby defeats him. Later fear comes to planet earth and kills hector. Jordan kills fear by taking him too close to the sun. Fear gets pulled by the suns gravitational field and Jordan is rescued from the suns Pull by Sinestro .......END OF THE GODDDAMN story

The movie sucks from about the 10th minute till the end !
