Problem: Article: If you want to look sweet, it's important that you dress the part. Typically, a sweet look is achieved with modest clothing and youthful silhouettes, whereas wearing tight, revealing clothing will give you a more mature look. Keep a fun and youthful image in mind when you're getting dressed to achieve a sweet look. You can still dress cute while wearing modest clothing. For example, pair skirts and shorts with sweaters or crew neck t-shirts. Or instead of wearing a dress with heels, throw on some cute flats or sneakers. Combining cute skirts and dresses with modest and youthful pieces like sneakers and sweaters will create a sweet look. Instead of wearing tight fitting clothing, wear clothes that create a more youthful silhouette. Instead of a curve hugging dress, throw on an A-line dress (fitted on top, with full skirt bottom) or a baby doll dress (short, straight cut, and not fitted to the body). Tighter fitting clothes will give you a sexy, mature look, which isn't exactly the sweet look you're going for. Stick to youthful silhouettes that aren't too revealing. Lighter colors look much sweeter than darker colors, so make them a bigger part of your wardrobe. Swap out your dark colored clothing for light pastels, bright colors, and neutrals. Dressing in this lighter color palette automatically creates a sweeter, fun, and youthful look. If you choose to wear patterns, go with girly, cute patterns such as polka dots or floral prints. Avoid bold, crazy patterns. Keep it simple. A sweet look is a simple, classic look. Don't over-accesorize or go crazy with patterns. The sweet look isn't achieved with heavy contouring or intense eyeliner. Instead, go with a more natural look. Looking sweet is often associated with youth and innocence, so light makeup will give you the best results. Go with lighter colored lipsticks and lip glosses as opposed to deep colors. Use a small amount of foundation to even out your skin instead of caking foundation on to cover your skin. Applying heavy makeup looks much more mature, and less sweet.This will give your face a natural, radiant glow. Use shimmers or highlighters to highlight your cheekbones instead of contouring. This will give your face a natural, radiant glow. Use blush to give yourself sweet, rosy cheeks. If you love experimenting with makeup, play with bright lipsticks and eyeshadows. These lighter, brighter colors will give you the sweet look you're going for without the dramatics of a heavy eyeliner or dark lip. The perfect hairstyle makes or breaks any look. If you want to look sweet, it's best to avoid extreme hairstyles like mohawks, bright blue streaks, or a half shaved head. Go for a simple, more traditional hairstyle instead. Stick with natural hair colors blondes, brunettes, blacks, and natural reds instead of bright crazy hair dye colors like red, blue, pink, etc. Get a classic haircut. Whether you go with shoulder length with bangs, a short bob, a cute pixie cut, or long flowy waves, your hair should have a classic, simple cut. This will give you the sweet look you're going for. Avoid any wild or asymmetrical haircuts. Stick with simple hairstyles. Leave your hair down and tuck it behind your ears, try a nice bun, go with a simple ponytail, or wear your hair in youthful pigtail braids. Whatever style you go with, keep it simple and classic.
Summary: Dress appropriately. Wear light colors. Wear light makeup. Get the right hairstyle.

Problem: Article: The quickest and easiest way to make dal makhani is with a pressure cooker, but you can also cook the beans in a lidded pot. Along with your ingredients and the pressure cooker, you'll also need: Large bowl for soaking the beans Strainer Large frying pan Wooden spoon One of the main features of dal makhani is that it's creamy and rich. To get the right consistency and texture, the beans must be soaked so that they become soft. Place the beans in a large bowl and cover them with 3 to 4 cups of water. Allow them to soak overnight. If you don't have time to soak the beans, place them in a large pot with water, and bring them to a rolling boil for five minutes. Turn off the heat, cover the beans and water with a lid, and let them sit for an hour. The black lentils that you use for this dish are also called black gram and urad dal. You can also use split black lentils if you prefer. After soaking, strain the beans and discard the water they were soaking in. Place the beans into the pressure cooker with 4 cups of water. Lock the lid and heat the pressure cooker over high heat until it reaches proper pressure. When the pressure cooker whistles the first time, reduce the heat a little and continue cooking the beans over mediumhigh heat for about 10 minutes, until the beans are soft. If you don't have a pressure cooker, cook the beans over mediumhigh heat in a lidded pot for 45 minutes to an hour. Remove the beans from the heat when they're ready. Heat the ghee over medium heat in a large frying pan. Add the cumin seeds and toast them until they become fragrant and start to change color. Ghee is clarified butter, but you can also use regular butter or oil to toast the cumin. When the cumin is toasted, add the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger to the frying pan. Heat over medium heat until everything becomes golden brown. Stir the mixture regularly so the garlic doesn't burn. Burnt garlic becomes bitter, and this will change the flavor of the dish. Add the ingredients to the onion mixture and turn the heat up high. Cook for five to 10 minutes, until the tomatoes soften and reduce to a thick pulp or sauce-like consistency. Continue stirring regularly to prevent the tomatoes from burning to the bottom of the pan. You can also substitute tomato paste for some or all of the tomatoes to give the dish a deeper color and richer flavor. Pour the beans into the frying pan along with the water they cooked in. Using the back of your spoon, mash most of the beans to release the meat from within. Mashing the beans will thicken the dal and give the dish it's characteristic creamy texture. If the mixture is too thick, add some fresh water. The dal should be about as thick as a thick soup. Then reduce the heat to low and simmer the dal for about 15 minutes. Stir in the cream and cook for another few minutes, long enough to heat the cream through. Use heavy cream for the richest flavor, or regular cream or milk for a slightly lighter version. Taste the dish before serving and add more salt if desired. You can also stir in a pinch of dried fenugreek leaves to give the dal a slightly sweet and nutty flavor.
Summary:
Gather your supplies and ingredients. Soak the beans. Cook the beans. Toast the cumin. Saute the onion, garlic, and ginger. Add the tomatoes, chili powder, and turmeric. Add the beans to the saute mixture. Season with garam masala and salt.
