Pottery....as a beginner

Hello people, from last few posts I have been mentioning about my latest developed interest in pottery, So here is my post on it...see what I have made out of air dry clay...This clay is very easy to handle, and after shaping your desire thing,it dries within 24 hours....You can keep the final result to dry up completely for more days and can paint, varnish also....

 This is an air dry clay from which you can easily shape your imagination

Bharma Mirchi

One day my Mom came up with this lovely looking green bharma mirchi (chili). She made a cut in to it and overloaded it with chatpata (spicy) filling and gave me to microwave it, while doing the microwaving.....oh! my my....it smells so so so so good...that I can't express

Here you can see in the pic how delicious it looks

Ingredients:

6-7 big green chilis (achar wali mirchi)

2 large spoons of gram flour.

  Method:

• Roast gram flour in a pan without any oil or ghee
• add one by one ajwine, salt, dry mango powder in it.
• After sometime sprinkle a little water and mix well.
