Peacocks have enjoyed a mythical place in India. Peacocks called as Mayura in Sankrit is the Vahan (vehicle) or Lord Karthika (also known as Lord Murugan in some parts of South India).

It is believed that peacock dances by puffing out his chest and shaking his tail as a call for mating. This is how they try to impress their potential partners. The mating season overlaps during monsoon season (around May to September) in India. Hence, it is also said that peacocks dance while it is about to rain.

I had the privilege to watch the beautiful dance and the colours of the bird’s plumage at a nearby field, bliss to watch first thing early in the morning.

This scene occur each monsoon in forests or in large open field spaces.

Watch this beautiful bird fanning out its spectacular tail feather.

Indian Noodles

Noodles are big hot news today. Whether true or false we have to accept that it’s time to send our favorite noodles to the waste bin. There is nothing to attack on the noodles and put a ban on it, it is a known fact that all the packed foods are unhealthy and has serious health effects.  Bachelors, spinsters, married, kids in fact the entire Indian population must be depressing for losing our favorite instant staple, “noodles”.

As we all know noodles are the made from unleavened dough stretched or rolled into different shapes and sizes. Basically they are cooked with boiling water and the cooking time depends on the thickness of noodles. They can be cooked along with vegetables or eaten alone with salt and sauce.


Noodles

Coming to the nutrition point of noodles, they are simply junk foods. These are fillers which is a dump to your stomach and very tasty for your taste buds. But yes who cares so much for health? After all everyone has to fall sick one day, true rightJ. These funny rolls have fit the today’s busy lifestyle making life easy and happier. Either eaten alone or as soup noodles they are along with you for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

The base material of instant noodles may be wheat, rice , maida , corn and any non vegetarian food.

Leaving back the modern instant noodles, there is Indian originated noodles which most of us are unaware. Indian noodles made from rice are originated from centuries ago before the modern one was born. Kheer is also one form of noodles. In south of Karnataka they are called has “semige”.

I have already shared an article on the recipe of rice noodles/vermicelli (semige) and the rava noodles/vermicelli.  


homemade rice noodles Indian noodles



Home made Rice vermicelli


Steaming the rice balls/rava balls and pressing them with a press up instrument which brings the form of noodles. These are the real healthy, tasty and hygiene noodles. They can be eaten alone or with curd and pickle or seasoned along with the taste of lemon.
And as we know no festival and occassion is complete without the sweetest kheer pie.

Vermicelli Kheer Pie


Ancient Indian foods are stolen and processed with chemicals and flavouring agents .These are the real noodles which never gets a ban.  Semige/vermicelli into noodles and pastas, dosa and uttappa into pizzas and many more similar food transformations can be identified. 

My say is, make a practice to love Indian food which is safe and pure for your good and happiness. Adopt the goodness of western culture but do not forget the native.

I usually add the cooked vegetable stock along with masala powder to taste differently from the normal upma.

The recipe is great for the oats lovers who start their day with porridge of oats. This is as simple as oats porridge.

When you hear the name Rani Chennamma, all that comes to picture is patriotism, valour, courage, self-confidence, and the fight she put up against the mighty British forces.


Royal Emblem of Kittur
Royal Emblem of Kittur Dynasty

Rani Chennamma hailed from Kittur, a small village now in the district of Belgaum. Kittur has a prominent regional history when it comes to fighting against the British rule.

The Kittur Dynasty

Kittur became the seat power of Kittur Kings during the 12th century. Hiremalla Shetty and Chikkamalla Shetty were the rulers with whom the kingdom of Kittur started. As a gift for their heroic deeds, the Shetty brothers received Kittur from Adil Shahi, the king of Bijapur. The Shetty brothers ruled the region from Sampagaon as their capital. The kidsom saw 11 more rulers after the founders.

The 6th ruler of the kingdom, Mudimallapa Desai, moved the capital to Kittur and built the grand fort and palace of royal residence at Kittur.


kittur fort and palace

During the rule of the 11thking, Mallasaraja between 1782 – 1816 Kittur experienced prosperity and welfare eventually obtained great fame. This tempted Maratha Peshwa Bajirao II of Pune to annex this small kingdom to his kingdom. In the pretext of extending a hand of friendship, he invited Mallasaraja and treacherously imprisoned him. The Kittur ruler died 3 years later in imprisonment.

Kittur Rani Chennamma; the Patriotic Queen

Mallasarja’s first wife Rudramma, turned towards spiritualism while his second wife, Chennamma was an able administrator.

Chennamma coronated Rudramma’s son and the next king, but he proved to be a very weak ruler. Chennamma ruled the kingdom on his behalf. Yet, the young king died issueless in 1824. 

Seizing the opportunity of an heirless kingdom, The British started interfering in the administration of Kittur. British East India Company abolished the practice of adopting an heir and annexed the kingdoms to their provinces. Thackeray, the British collector of Dharwad, seized the treasury of Kittur.

This provoked the Queen of Kittur and confronted the collector defeating him and his men. Thackery was killed by Amatur Sadhunavar Balappa who was a loyal body guard of Chennamma. 

This victory was however short lived. British in a few months attacked and seized the fort of Kittur. This time Chennamma lost to the mighty British force. She was held in captivity at the Bailhongal Jail.

Her aide Sangolli Rayanna continued the struggle, but fell victim to the betrayal of his own people to the British and was executed.

Chennamma, disheartened lost the will to live and eventually breathed her last while still in British custody in 1829.
The patriotic queen who chose to fight in spite of knowing that her army was no match to the large British army; became a great inspiration to the subsequent freedom fighters of the nation.

Kittur Palace; Royal Residence of the Kings of Kittur

The royal residence of the kings of Kittur now remains in ruins.


Interiors of Kittur Palace


The British army destroyed the fort, looted the palace valuables, removed and sold the wooden doors and windows; literally left Kittur in a shattered state.

The grand palace popularly known as Rani Chennamma's Palace was constructed in Peshwa-Islamic style.

The 3-storied palace was believed to have several rooms with durbar hall, rest rooms, discussion rooms, pole star viewing room, several kitchens, bath rooms, bath tubs, secret wells.

    Jackfruit Fritters Recipe

    Who would not sniff around in this season to search for the juicy yellow fruit, jackfruit? Especially for people from south Karnataka (home town of jackfruits) where you do not find a single home without jack fruit trees in their backyard. I too belong to such a native where I could eat them for free till my fullest and hide some pods to gulp them later on :). Although the jackfruit pods are delicious to eat alone, there some locally prepared cuisine from both ripe and raw fruit like jackfruit sambhar, jackfruit stir fry, jackfruit pie and halwa, jackfruit dumplings (gidde) and jackfruit fritters (appa).
    The one here is the jackfruit fritters, famous as jackfruit appa among the locals. These crispy sweetened balls are so yummy and go empty before you start counting.

    Jackfruit Fritters Recipe



    Ingredients:

    15 to 20 jackfruit flesh/pods
    One cup semolina
    Half cup grated coconut
    Jaggery
    Cooking oil

    Procedure:

    Roast the semolina at low flame till the odour vanishes may be for about 8 to 10 minutes. Keep stirring to avoid burning of semolina. Allow to attain normal temperature.

    Deseed the jackfruit flesh and chop them to pieces. Blend the chopped fruit into fine paste in a blender without adding water.  Collect the paste in a container.

    In a blender, blend the roasted semolina and the coconut grates. Do not grind them finely, let the mixture be rough. Here again do not add water while grinding, in case you require water add the jackfruit paste as a liquid medium.

    Pour the blended mixture to the vessel containing jackfruit paste. Add jaggery and mix them well. The amount of jaggery depends on how sweet the fruit is. In normal terms 2 or 3 spoons of Jaggery is sufficient.

    Jackfruit Fritters Recipe

    Note that the batter prepared should be thick with rough particles resembling the idli batter. Watery batter makes the cooked fritters/appa oily and hard. You can add more of semolina at the end if the batter is watery.

    Heat cooking oil in a deep pan.  Once hot drop a small portion of batter to test whether the temperature is rightly attained.  If yes, then slowly dump the round shaped batter (lemon size) to the hot oil.

    Jackfruit Fritters Recipe

    Deep fry these fritters at a lower flame to avoid burning/blackening. Keep them stirring till they get fried evenly and turn golden brown uniformly. Drain and transfer them to an absorbent tissue paper to remove excess oil.

    Serve them hot or cold, the taste never differs.

    Jackfruit Fritters Recipe

    The same can be prepared with rice or wheat flour, instead of semolina/rava. Soak dosa rice for 2 hours and grind them roughly in a mixture jar and rest of procedure seems to be similar. Rice batter comes to be tastier than the semolina or wheat flour ones.

    Who is not aware about oiling and massaging? It is one of the best gift you can give yourself on a relaxing holiday. 

    Finding the best hair massaging oil is a challenge. Loreal Paris has brought one of the most unique blends of 6 nutritive oils – argan, olive, almond, coconut, jojoba and camelina; sounds very exotic and luxurious to pamper the hair.


    Loreal Paris 6 Oil Nourish Extraordinary Oil



    Price: Rs. 199 for 100 ml

    Package: This oil comes in a heavy glass bottle with a wide open mouth. The bottle mouth has a plastic stopper.

    The color of the bottle is very attractive. It is also a see through bottle which easily shows the amount of oil remaining inside.


    Loreal 6 Oil Nourish


    Nature: Very thin oil texture. If you are looking for something suitable for heavy oiling and nourishing of scalp and hair, then this is not the one to be picked.

    Since this is very thin and light in texture, and I personally prefer heavy oiling for my hair, I need a lot of oil for just one use. And hence the bottle will not last even for 2 months.

    It is easy to work with this oil, applying and massaging is a child’s play. Washing is easy too.


    Loreal 6 Oil Nourish Extraordinary Oil


    Fragrance: It has a mild fragrance which stays on until you shampoo.

    If you have dry hair and dry scalp, then the moisturizing this oil provides will not be sufficient. After the hair wash, scalp feels dry and hair feels rough too. This means that the oil is not suitable for oiling before shower.

    Loreal Paris 6 Oil Nourish Extraordinary Oil acts as a very good leave-in conditioner. After hair wash, on the damp hair, if you apply tiny drops of this Loreal Oil, then your hair will get a beautiful shine and detangling your hair is also very easy.

    Once a brand makes a very good impression amongst the consumers, it is natural that we tend to try every new thing that brand brings out.

    Speaking about Patanjali Sheetal Oil, another Patanjali product for stress relief and massage. 


    Patanjali Sheetal Oil


    Price: Rs.55 for 100 ml

    This oil is a multipurpose oil useful in massage for stress relief, body ache, joint pain, aroma massage, and also for hair problems.


    stress relief oil patanjali sheetal


    Personally I use this only as hair oil. It is best used when mixed with any other hair oil for hair care.
    Patanjali Sheetal Oil comes in a see through plastic bottle with a maroon screw and flip cap. It is not leak free bottle (expected from this brand).


    Patanjali sheetal oil india


    The oil is reddish maroon in color and is light in texture. It is not completely non-sticky in nature, but it is not too heavy either.

    The aroma of this oil is very soothing and indeed stress relieving. It provides a cooling effect on application. If you observe the ingredients list, it contains kapoor (camphor), pudina (mint), nilgiri (eucalyptus) which all adds to the fragrance and cooling effect of the oil.

    How to use: For use for hair, mix one part of Patanjali Sheetal oil with two part of Patanjali Coconut Oil and one part of PatanjaliAlmond Oil. Mix well and apply to the scalp by partitioning small portions of hair.  

    I have been using Patanjali Sheetal Oil for hair care for the past 2 months and have observed the 
    following:

    • Shampooing and washing is not difficult.
    • The fragrance left in my hair is amazing.
    • The smell lingers in the hair for two more days after the day I oil and shampoo. It might be present even beyond those ‘2 more days’. But I repeat the oiling and shampooing routine on the third day.
    • Scalp does not feel dry and flaky anymore.
    • The very minute you water your head wherever the oil is applied, it feels cooler.
    • Hair feels smoother than earlier. This could be due to mixing up of other hair oils too.
    • If your hair or scalp sweats, the fragrance of Patanjali Sheetal Oil overpowers the sweaty smell.

    Rating: 5/5 (in spite of the leaking bottle, the oil scores full rating)


    sheetal oil baba ramdev products

    Patanjali sheetal oil swatch


    Recommendation: Patanjali has won again and again with its every new product. A product that is budget friendly, cools and relaxes the senses from stress, helps scalp to free of dandruff, has aroma which makes it suitable for aromatherapy massage; what more reasons are needed to buy a bottle of 
    Patanjali Sheetal Oil again and again.

    Definitely give it a try and we are sure you will be all praise with this oil.

    Mothercare baby products are mostly natural, organic, mild in formulations and importantly suitable for new born babies too.

    The brand puts in every effort to make sure we moms do not hesitate to try all of the mothercare baby care products for our children.


    Mothercare all we know baby shampoo

    My tryst with Mothercare brand began with Mothercare All We Know Baby Shampoo which in fact is a great product though the price seems a bit high if compared to other brands of baby products.

    Read on to know more about this shampoo and how well it works for babies, toddlers, and even older kids.


    mothercare baby shampoo ingredients

    Package: A transparent bottle which has to be opened with a flip at the top of the cap. It does not leak, hence travel friendly. But it seems to be a bulky bottle, so you might want to transfer some shampoo into a smaller travelling bottle for the ease of carrying in the luggage.


    mothercare all we know babyshampoo

    Nature: It is a little runny and flows freely from the opening of the bottles. A colourless transparent liquid like shampoo lathers well when applied on wet hair.

    A double wash is required if you are using the shampoo on a well oiled hair of your child. Else, with just a single wash you will find traces of oil still on the hair and scalp and everything might seem limp and unclean. So do not miss the second wash though the first wash seems to have cleansed everything easily.


    mothercare baby shampoo


    Like any normal shampoo, this baby shampoo too is easy to wash off with usual amount of water.

    Hair feels fresh and bouncy. The fragrance is great too. This shampoo contains olive oil and chamomile extracts which makes baby’s hair smooth, bouncy, naturally clean and shiny.

    As for the eye burning/irritation in child, I haven’t experienced anything of that sort. Well, my child knows to shut eyes tightly when head bath is going on. That is another plus point too.

    Despite all the health facts and benefits that fans of wheatgrass share, there is no medical evidence that these claims are true. Research studies claim otherwise; wheatgrass has no effect on preventing diseases. Detoxifying the body is also not in its potential.
