A good visit – sometimes unplanned visits to such places are blessings in some ways.
And India never runs out of places to explore.

Superb, i missed the visit during my visit to Kerala last year. It was on the way, but due to time constraint couldnt visit

That is sad indeed, though it is also what is being done here by politicians when they are to go for a higher position. The former position, will be given to a member of the family or a close relative. Though, of course it has to go through an election.
But what can you expect, of course that candidate will surely win because the supporters of the former politician holding that position will see to it ha he will win too, so the benefit they have as to having work etc. will continue, because oftheir loyalty toeh family.

I have to say, they do look unusual. You have a very informative post here though, with the perfect way to fix these. I’m looking at some of the ingredients and thinking to myself, they might not be good for someone that gets indigestion easily. But like I said before, nice recipe and thanks for sharing.

Is Brinjal the fat eggplant variety. I certainly would love to cook this however, some ingredients may not be available here like Masala powder, ginger garlic paste (or can I just pound garlic and ginger together ) and coriander seeds.

But I suppose, each country have their special way and ingredients in cooking eggplant. Anyway, I can look for those ingredients in a supermarket that has Indian products. Let me see.

How I wish I can eat this one someday. 🙂

Nice recipe, I have never tested this dishes before.

We can get the small brinjal here, yes, it’s one of the eggplant type from the same family, I guess.

I spotted that you are using a word: Garam masala. What does the word “garam” meant? Is it meant “salt” in English.

To me, this is a Malay word, which meant salt. How do you know this word? Just curious if your society/community members use the same word as well like us, Malaysian Malay .

Thanks!

Here the traditional ways of brushing one’s teeth is by the soft stems of a guava tree as for me I never experienced using them because my parents always buys me a new toothbrush when I need to replace my old ones they never encourage me to use the traditional ways of brushing buy they often tell me tales of their childhood and some practices that is fading away.

Thank you for posting this wonderful health post. I noticed since I reached my 50’s reading of anything about health is what attracts me most even in writing sites.

Can you please tell how many hours or minutes of exposure to the sunlight each day is needed so we can get enough of vitamin D?

I am taking up calcium supplement and it has Vitamin D, magnezium and zinc.

Though I know that exposure to sunlight each day can very much help us get the needed vitamin D. The question is how many minutes a day.

I think for a crew member to bring an empty box and fill it with foods from a buffet table is not good to look at. If the buffet table is meant for paying customers, then their taking those take aways would mean “no income” from them, thus diminish the what should be income of those buffet foods.

I think it is okay to have take away foods or we call it take out, if it is additionally paid.

i think that, that buffet is somewhat like an “eat-all-you-can” type in which the customers need to consume as much as they want within the four walls of the restaurant. Asking a Take-Away or To-Go meals means that you are not abiding by their rules. But I think fast-food chains will always have To-Go meals on any occasion.

This is superb. I cannot expect you to have this kind of recipe good for the body. At least it is very much told here about what to get out from these many mixtures of the food that are all best for human body. We have to help those who do not have the knowledge about foods and vegetables that are best for the body proven and tested by scientists and expert nutritionists so all people in the plane will not be sick of deadly diseases. Our body needs anti-oxidants and more.

Thanks for this interesting post about Rudraksha seeds. I have my Santosha beads and don’t know if the black ones on it are Rudraksha seeds. I wish they were. I will ask my friend who made the 108 Santosha beads if she included rudraksha seeds in it.

I must agree coconut is so useful. All those that you enumerated are indeed the uses of coconuts from its fruits to its leaves.
The twig minus the leaves can be made into hard broom. The leaves too can serve as a container in cooking a favorite food of the Filipinos called “suman” made of glutinous rice.
Its young trunk can be made into a dish we call “ubod”, can be cooked in coconut milk or sauteed with some minced pork and other condiments, wrapped in a spring roll, and be either fried or eaten fresh.
Its juice can be fermented and made into wine and also vinegar.
The young flesh of the coconut can be made into a salad with fruit cocktail, all purpose cream and condensed milk. It’s a delicious dessert.
The coconut is I think the most versatile vegetable and fruit at the same time.
