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...

Authentic Bengali Alu Posto recipe

Now its Bengali food time!! hehe!! It's one of the Bengali delicacies which I am gonna talk about today, the famous 'Alu Posto', a favorite food for all Bongs, with literally no exception! I have seen a lot of non-bong peoples also liking it a lot, thus if you are not a Bengali, you can try this too and do let me know whether you liked it or not! :) So what all you need to make it? Nothing much actually, the main ingredient is alu (or potato) and posto (or poppy seeds). Apart from that, you need some ginger paste, chilies or chili powder, onion, salt, turmeric, that's all! (I will be telling you for the quantity of 4 big potatoes, 2 big onions and 4 tablespoons of posto) How to make it? First thing is to make the paste of the posto (or poppy seeds) with just a minimum amount of water required to make the paste, and some chilies. Cut the alu (or potato) into small rectangular pieces and chop the onions not very finely and not also very coarsely. Take a k...
