• Plastic hose
• Tape or glue
• Scissors
• Small bucket (optional)
Steps:
Take a 2-liter plastic bottle, remove the label, and clean it thoroughly.
Use a nail or sharp object to create small holes around the bottom and sides of the bottle.
Cut the bottom off the bottle. Attach the plastic hose to the top opening of the bottle, securing it with tape or glue.
Place the bottle upside down in your garden or flower pot. Turn on the hose and watch the water slowly leak out, simulating a sprinkler system while conserving water!
Chilli Paneer (Microwave Recipe)
Ingredients:
• 200g paneer (cubed)
• 1 tablespoon oil
• 1 onion (sliced thinly)
• 1 bell pepper (sliced)
• 2-3 green chilies (sliced)
• 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon tomato ketchup

• Salt to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon sugar (optional)
• 1 tablespoon cornflour (cornstarch)
• 1 tablespoon water
• Fresh coriander leaves (for garnish)
Steps:
Soak the paneer in warm water for 10 minutes to soften, then cut it into cubes.
In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon cornflour with 1 tablespoon water to make a slurry.
Add 1 tablespoon oil to a microwave-safe bowl and heat it for 30 seconds.
Add sliced onions, bell pepper, and green chilies, then microwave on high for 2-3 minutes.

Add the paneer cubes to the bowl and stir gently to coat with the sauce. Pour in the cornflour slurry and microwave for another 2-3 minutes, stirring halfway through.
If the sauce is too thick, add a little water and microwave for another 30 seconds.
Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and serve hot.
