That’s a colorful festival you have in South India. Does it mean anyone can decorate their bulls like that and have it for display in a plaza perhaps where there will be lots of people who will be watching?

Can the people donate money too and other foods? WHere will they be placing their donations in kind? And the donation in money will be given directly to the owner of the bull?

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.
