Hi Friends.... Anybody know how to make Sago (jawarisi) bindhi?...Pls share here...it will be nice to keep this bindhi to our kids.. Hope any of our grandmas would be knowing it..Pls check and share here.. krithi.
Sago Bindhi I am hearing it for the 1st time, they make bindi out of saga When I searched for Sago (jawarisi) bindhi it took me to some chiwada recipe.... I think this is what you are looking for even I had no idea about it I am just copying it from the net so that others who are not aware of it like me can get the information. Bindi or 'Pottu' in tamil is a dot that is applied on the forehead of girls and women in India. It's considered inauspicious if a married woman is not without Bindi. It is said to ward off the evil eye and so applied for babies of both genders. However the commercial ones contains chemicals and not good for very small babies. My grandmother prepares this at home. The method follows: Ingredients: 1. Sago (Javvarisi in tamil)- 1/2 cup 2. Few teaspoons of water Method: 1. Heat a non-stick pan till it's very hot (donot use oil) 2. Add the sago and keep frying till it turns black 3. This may take anywhere between 20-30 minutes 4. The sago melts in the heat 5. When it's dark brown/black, add a little water 6. The fried sago melts in water and forms a paste 7. Keep adding water and stir until all the sago melts into a smooth paste 8. Transfer it to a glass bowl and store 9. It will become hard once dried, add a little water before use Traditionally it's stored in a coconut shell or a silver container. I used a glass bowl and it was good enough.
