smelly dung balls

i was given a jar of what looked like small balls of well… erm… anyway

it was from the middle east and apparantly you do something to them so they release a fragrant smell

Soo

What do i do with them…

i have an oil burner…the kind that has a candel under a small dish that you burn aramotherapy oil in

I lit one and it created a huge amount of soot which went everywhere… it was very smokey

ideas?

Re: smelly dung balls

It's bakhoor. You put it on burning coal and it releases nice odours.

Re: smelly dung balls

good bakhoor is more expensive than gold.... arabs love that stuff.

hmmm...im gonna experiment

Re: smelly dung balls

Laizy, there is a saying in Urdu, "Bandar kia jaanay adrak ka maza...":D

It's Bakhoor...The way to use it is, take a little aluminum foil, make it into a little saucer shape (three or four layers), heat a piece of coal on a stove until glowing, put it on the aluminum foil, break the Bakhoor into small pieces and keep putting it on the glowing coal...It will release clouds of smoke which will fill the room with aroma...

You can even put the whole ball of Bakhoor directly on a stove...

Re: smelly dung balls

Lajawab there is a saying in Pushtu " Mala Urdu na raazee"
