Homemade recycled paper || homemade paper decoration

The word paper derived from word 'Papyrus' , this plant which was used as writing material in ancient Egypt. In 105 AD , paper was first invented by Cai lun of the eastern han dynasty in china and he made paper from rags of clothes , mulberry trees and other plants. He mashed it to make a pulp out of it then stirred with water . Fiber sheet came out then dried it in sunlight.Now it is made up of wood so it is now cheaper and more convenient. The thinness and quality of paper became better over time. Now paper is being used not only in literacy but in currency , cleaning , decorating , packaging etc. We should recycle and reuse paper because it is not only beneficial for environment but also we can save money from it. 

so let's make recycled paper from used paper. You can use any paper like newspaper , toilet paper , notebook and even money but I'll save it to buy my favorite food from it. It is very easy to make it so just follow some steps..

1. Tear the paper into smaller pieces

       2. Soak them in the water for 5 to 6 hours.

3. If you like then Mix any food coloring with soaked paper and blend it to make a pulp out of it.

 

 

4.  Take a container filled with water and then mix it with paper pulp

 

 

5. Dip mold straight and then sink it while slightly sliding and if you don't have mold then you can simply use sieve which is easily available at your home.

7. Now take that mold or sieve out from the container and let it dry for sometime.

8. Turn the sieve upside down to put the paper sheet on a cotton cloth and use cotton clothe only so paper fiber won't stick to it and let it dry for half an hour.

          9 Fold that cotton cloth                                    

                                                 

 

  9 Final step is to Iron it to make pa straight.

 

 and papers are ready..

Oregano leaves pakoras with mint chutney - पुदीने की चटनी के साथ अजवाइन पत्ते के पकोड़े

 Hi , I made a small video about very famous Indian cuisine on YouTube. I tried to explain it through three doshas in Ayurveda. There was a time when Ayurveda , the art of living , was respected by every Indian citizen but it is not like that anymore just like some may know the benefit of eating beetroot but there are very few people who use beet leaves also for making dishes. Ayurveda cooking not only evolved cooking methods but also Indian cuisines to make a balanced or nutritious dish. 

That famous cuisine is know as pakoda or bhajiya . Basically you have to mix gram flour with some spices and vegetables then just deep fry it and yeah pakodas are ready. Pakodas with pudina chutney is  very delicious and popular combo.

 

 This entire creation is made up of five elements and each person is influenced by three different doshas which are permuted from it. These are vatta means movement , pitta means digestion and assimilation and kapha means structure of body. All three doshas are present in every person but also every person is dominated by one or two dosha. We should maintain these three doshas for a healthy lifestyle. Oregano and mint leaves both are recommended for pitta dosha.
