The quality of besan is crucial for making perfect khaman. Ensure that the besan is fresh and finely ground.

Add Eno or baking soda just before steaming the batter. Pour the batter into the dish immediately to prevent the air from escaping.

Sift the besan before using it to remove any lumps and ensure a smooth batter. The batter should be of medium thickness.

Preheat the steamer. Steam the khaman on medium heat. To check if it’s done, insert a toothpick or knife into the centre. It should come out clean.

Mustard seeds, sesame seeds, green chilies, and curry leaves are commonly used. Pour the tempering evenly over khaman while it is still warm.

5 Tips To Make Perfect Khaman

Heat oil in a pan and add cumin and mustard seeds. Add the diced pumpkin and spices. Add jaggery or sugar and garam masala. Garnish with coriander leaves.

Heat ghee in a pan and fry some cashew, almonds and raisins. Add the grated pumpkin to it and pour some milk. Add sugar and cardamom powder.

Heat oil and add cumin seeds along with onion, garlic and ginger. Add the chopped pumpkin and spices. Pour in the vegetable broth or water. Use blender and season with salt and pepper.

Heat oil in a pan and add cumin and mustard seeds. Add onion, garlic, ginger, pureed tomatoes and spices. Add the diced pumpkin.

'We have no choice': Donald Trump promises largest deportation in American history

<p>Pertaining to the ongoing controversy surrounding India's Mumbai North West Lok Sabha constituency, the Election Commission of India (ECI) has issued a detailed statement addressing the allegations of tampering with Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs).</p>

<p>The controversy began when Mangesh Pandilkar, the brother-in-law of newly elected MP Ravindra Waikar, was accused of using a mobile phone to 'unlock' an EVM at the counting centre on June 4.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The ECI clarified the situation while stating that the incidence is not about unlocking the EVM but is rather about "unauthorisedly" using mobile phone of an "authorised" person by a candidate's aide.</p>

<p>"Criminal case has already been filed by the Returning Officer. There is no OTP (One Time Password) on mobile for unlocking EVM as it is non-programmable and it has no wireless communication capabilities," the election body added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Notably, the Mid-day report suggested that Pandilkar's mobile phone was connected to the EVM, a claim that led to widespread speculation and concerns.</p>

<p>However, the ECI dispelled these claims and reaffirmed the security measures in place for EVMs.</p>

<p>Addressing the claims of EVM manipulation in the Mid-day report, the ECI noted, "It is a complete lie being spread by a newspaper, which is being used by some leaders to create false narratives. EVMs are standalone devices without any wired or wireless connectivity with units outside the EVM system.

<p>Tesla CEO Elon Musk has ignited a debate over the use of electronic voting machines (EVMs) by expressing concerns about their vulnerability to hacking. The suspicion&nbsp;Musk had over EVMs was so much&nbsp;that on June 15, the Space X founder suggested on X (formerly Twitter) that electronic voting machines should be eliminated.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"We should eliminate electronic voting machines. The risk of being hacked by humans or AI, while small, is still too high," Musk stated.</p>

<p>Notably, Musk was not talking about Indian politics and the comment was in response to a post by Robert F Kennedy Jr, who highlighted numerous voting irregularities in Puerto Rico's primary elections and quoted reports attributing them to issues with electronic voting machines.</p>

<p>Musk’s comments quickly drew reactions from Indian politicians.</p>

<p>Former Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar challenged Musk's statement while arguing that Indian EVMs are secure and cannot be hacked.</p>

<p>"This is a huge sweeping generalization statement that implies no one can build &nbsp;secure digital hardware. Wrong. @elonmusk's view may apply to US n other places - where they use regular compute platforms to build Internet connected Voting machines. But Indian EVMs are custom designed, &nbsp;secure and isolated from any network or media - No connectivity, no bluetooth, wifi, Internet. ie there is no way in. Factory programmed controllers that cannot be reprogrammed. Electronic voting machines can be architected and built right as India has done. &nbsp;We would be happy to run a tutorial Elon."&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Rahul Gandhi calls EVMs 'black box'</strong>&nbsp;</h2>

<p>On the other hand, senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi seemed to align with Musk’s concerns as he criticised the lack of transparency in India's EVM system.</p>

EVM unlocked with phone? Mumbai MP Waikar's relative faces serious allegations

<p>A star called T Coronae Borealis (T CrB), located in the constellation Corona Borealis, is expected to undergo a rare and spectacular nova explosion soon. This star system consists of two stars - a white dwarf and a red giant.</p>

<p>The white dwarf pulls hydrogen from the red giant and when enough hydrogen accumulates, it will cause a thermonuclear explosion. T CrB has had such explosions before, nearly every 80 years, with the last one occurring in 1946.</p>
