Shining Silver

Hi Friends, many of us use silverware at home. Even something like kumkum Chimizh, with beautiful designs and carvings. But many struggle to clean the oxides formed on the outer layer which is exposed to air and many are spending money in buying silver cleaning solutions and powder in the market.

Here is an easy simple, quick way to clean your silver items at home.

You Need:

        An old tooth brush, some Viboothi (thiruneer) and ur silver item(s) to be cleaned.

Here we go:

Dip the bristles in the viboothi and start brushing gently on the silver item. The oxides at ever nook and corner will be vanished. In the first picture you could see oxides on my Lakshmi idol, whereas my Ganesha looks dazzling.

The next picture shows my dazzling Lakshmi Maa after cleaning.

You could see, how nicely, it could take out the oxides from small carvings and make them look bright.

Potato Wedges

"For my after school snack time, can u make me my favorite one, the potato wedges!", my elder one asks, more often.

Quite easy and tasty with baking potatoes with our own flavors as always.. It is good and healthy too.

Ingredients:

Medium size Potatoes - 4 nos
Chilli powder or chilli sauce - 2 tsp or to taste
Salt - 1 tsp
Dry Basil leaves - 1 tsp (Optional, /try some other flavors like garlic, pepper..)
Oil - 2 tsp


Preparation:

• Preheat the oven for 400 Farenheit. 
• Cut each potato into 6-8 wedges. If you want some what crispy wedges, make them little thinner otherwise, it tastes good as it is.

 

• Mix the chilli powder, salt, oil and your flavor. Mix them well.
• In a baking tray, spread some cooking oil and lay down the wedges.

• When the oven is ready, bake them for 15 min. Flip the wedges and bake for another 15 min. If our wedges are thinner, it will be done in 10 min. each side.

• Let it cool down and serve. It could be served with some dip too.
