I'm a Spice Girl

This is a masala (mix) of spices that is essential in any Indian kitchen. Though, not restricted by the bounds of the kitchen either.



For example: a little aloe and some turmeric (on my embarrassing bike accident) makes an instant scab and disinfects too!



Another example: Chickpea flour, turmeric, sesame oil and milk makes a natural body scrub. Apply on damp skin and rub off when dry! I was super excited to try this on my chapped and parched skin (due to India's arid winter climate).

It sort of worked. I've been too lazy to keep up the regiment, especially when the hot water only lasts for about 2 minutes, but it sure was fun that one time!
