Dry Nut Candies

In a frying pan take some cooking butter. Now put some quarter kilo jaggery and melt it over the stove.

Once it has melted add some 100gm of either roasted groundnuts or almonds or walnuts. Continue the heating. When the mixture starts bubbling, take them out and pour them into cup cake moulds.

On cooling you get candies. You can try the technique with other dry nuts also and see what you get.

The Process of Swallowing

When you swallow your food, it passes through the pharynx and then it goes into the esophagus. The process is aided by the muscles in the throat which work automatically.

You can feel this for your self. When you are swallowing any food, feel the throat and you will understand the movements of the throat muscles.
