It is said that Kashmir is the Switzerland of India. I am here with a world famous recipe from that valley. It is called 'Yakhni' (I don't know the exact spelling in english. I spelled it as it sounds).
Yakhni is basically made from a combination of spices (aniseed or fennel is one them) and its basic ingredient is yogurt.
Ingredients: 1 cup yougurt; 2 tblspoon aniseed or fennel,; 1 or 2 small pieces cinnamon; 6 pieces of cloves; 6 pieces of small cardamom; ginger past as required.
Method: take the yougurt and bit it well, keep aside. Now take all the spices together, fry it on a thick bottomed pan till red (do not use any oil or anything). Now make powder of them with the help a grinder. Keep aside.
Take a thick bottomed bowl, put some oil. After heating it add the ginger paste. After frying for a while add the powder of those spices and keep stirring. Now add that yogurt, salt and small amount of water and keep it boiling for some time. Now the gravy is ready. You can add either chicken or mutton to this gravy. Bring the flame to a medium level and wait till the mutton or chicken is done.
Your Yakhni is ready. Serve it with boiled Basmati rice or chapatis.
You can take this preparation on the next day to get the better flavour of spices.

Teeth Grinding is really a problem...
'Are you waking in the morning with sore cheek muscles, loose or temperature-sensitive teeth, a headache, earache, or jaw pain? If so, you may be grinding your teeth or habitually clenching your jaw in your sleep (or even during waking hours). Known as bruxism, this is a fairly common problem caused by a misaligned bite (malocclusion) or nervous tension or suppressed anger. Left untreated, bruxism can eventually wear down your teeth.
If your dentist has found your bite to be normal, you may be stressed out or internalizing your anger. There are a number of ways to relieve stress or rage: Biofeedback training specifically aimed at reducing jaw muscle tension can be helpful. Breathing exercises are a must: they are an effective stress-reliever. Daily physical activity, such as a brisk 20-minute walk or practicing tai chi or yoga can also make a big difference. In addition, avoid consuming alcohol late at night. It has been shown to make people clench their jaw more frequently.
You might also ask your dentist for a plastic mouth guard to wear while you sleep. This can help to ease some of the side effects of bruxism. Use it in conjunction with stress-reduction practices for best results.'--- this is what Dr. Weil is telling.
