Re: Fruits & Veggies.

Have you ever tried golden kiwi from New Zealand ? It's delicious. It's sweeter than its green cousin. :)

Are you sure those are not beets (chukandar). Beets are delicious.

Yes, they make delicious pakoraas. The taste is a little 'milkier' and the pulp is softer.

I so want to have an aloe vera plant in my garden. There are so many use of it. If you apply on the skin ,it 'll help to remove pimples and acne. Aloe tablets helps in cleansing the colon. People take the jelly stuff out of it and take it with water to lose weight. Some people even cook it. Recently, I bought a tooth paste it reduces gum disease and keeps the mouth fresh. They use it in shampoos,lotion,creams and in beauty products.

The skin would be too tough. :) As Lippy said, it's the pulp/jelly inside that is used. Some commercial brands sell the juice made with both the pulp and skin.

BTW, is that lehsan in your hand ?

yaar maiN poochh rahaa thaa k kia Aloe leaves ko cook bhii kar sakte haiN? isko agar ubaal liyaa jaaye to edible ho jaayegaa…Khair.

meraa haath jagannaath nahiiN hai aur jiskaa bhii haath hai uske haath meN MAHUAA naamii phool hai…it’s a modified flower…it’s succulent petals are rich in juices which are extracted to make LAPSI [a kinda Halwa] which is granular in texture and has a unique flavour…love it! it’s nectar is also used to make a very potent country liqour called “THARRA”..here is a bigger pic…in summer these flowers fall of the giant trees and is picked manually by peasants.

these are soo cute…they look like emoticons…i think those who invented emotis must have gotten the idea after looking these flowers and he/she might have been an Indian
