Rasam Recipe!

So let me first give the disclaimer: this is not the very authentic rasam if you are looking for the same. It is a bit modified version of rasam, which I have modified according to my taste (and yeah it tastes good! lol!)

So how to make it and what all you need for it?

 Here I have kept it simple and I am gonna share the recipe of the tomato-tamarind rasam. For that you need:

Rasam Powder (easily available in market)
Tomatoes (Here I have take 2 tomatoes),
Tamarind (Around 2 tablespoon),
Mustard seeds (Half a tablespoon),
Asafoetida/Hing (pinch of it),
Garlic (paste of 6-7 cloves of garlic and
Chilies, Curry leaves, Salt, Sugar, Turmeric

The first thing is you have to soak the tamarind in water for some 30 minutes (so that it gets soft and you can easily get the pulp out of it).

Then keep the tomatoes finely chopped.

Now starts the main thing (kidding. lol. it is a very simple thing to make rasam)

Take a kadai, put half a tablespoon of oil, let it warm. After oil has become hot, put the mustard seeds, turmeric, salt, sugar, chilies, curry leaves and the garlic paste. Stir for a while, then add the tomatoes, close the lid till the tomatoes become mushy. After that, add 2 tablespoons of rasam powder and a pinch of asafoetida/hing, and again stir for a while. then now add the pulp of the already soaked tamarind, and add some more water to make it of a runny consistency.

Boil it for some 5-6 minutes with the lid closed. Yeaa!! done! Yes it's that simple :)

It is tangy in taste and also is good for digestion.
Enjoy :)

Khadi herbal Hair conditioner review

So here I am today to review two varieties of KHADI Herbal Hair Conditioner, one is Khadi Shikakai and Honey Hair conditioner and the other is Khadi Green Tea and Aloevera Hair conditioner. The first thing I want to share is I am absolutely in love with these hair conditioners. I am the one who has dry and rough hair, and for me, I felt these conditioners are just perfect! So why I'm in love with these? I have tried like so many conditioners on my hair, some of it turned out to leave my hair too sticky, some didn't do its job at all and left my hair brittle and rough, and to be very honest, I was tired to figure out which one will suit me the best. Then suddenly I came across these Khadi conditioners. The first time I used them only I felt the difference, it nourished my hair, made it soft and smooth, like the way a conditioner should exactly be. Moreover, it is not at all costly. I believe for all the variety of conditioner that Khadi has, its priced at or...

Bengali Association Durga puja in Aurangabad, Maharashtra

Durga Puja is one of the biggest festival celebrated by the Bengalies. I am a Bengali by birth and I have recently shifted to Aurangabad, Maharashtra (you can check out the places that I have explored here in Aurangabad in my previous blog:  https://pcfoodfacelife.blogspot.com/2018/08/blog-post.html ). So this 2018 Durga puja I had spent in Aurangabad, and that's when I discovered that there is a Bengali Association in Aurangabad (there might be more, but I am talking about the one I am aware of right now). As I came to know, this Bengali Association celebrates all the Bengali festivals in the authentic Bengali way, and so was the Durga Puja. The Durga Puja of this particular Bengali association is hosted in the "Sagar Lawns and Function Hall" which is near the Prozone Mall in the Chilkalthana Area ( https://www.google.co.in/maps/contrib/104235049707915129776/place/ChIJE7FM7_Gi2zsRYC0D6NRB0Ag/@19.5396149,74.1340508,9z/data=!4m6!1m5!8m4!1e1!2s104235049707915129776!...
