Hello everyone welcome and today I'm going to share with you a quick and delicious recipe Jerra potatoes or typical Punjabi Jerra Aloo. How do I make it delicious? I'm going to share with you.
Potatoes that I had used, I already peeled it and put it in water and I'm going to cut it into small chunks. These recipe will take yours 20 minutes. You can eat it with chapati or puri. I have tried it with home made pav.
Did you know that apart being part of delicious recipes, potatoes are also the main ingredient in many amazing beauty treatments? Today we will show you some natural recipes that treat common skin problems and have the potato as the main ingredient. These are those hacks which I have learnt from my mom and grand mother.
The problem with homemade potato face gel is it usually discolours once we make it due to oxidation as, it is always made with fresh potato juice. This potato face gel is very very unique and is so very effective and more importantly it does not discolour at all. The reason this potato face gel does not discolor is because I've used boiled potato water for it. We usually discard the water after boiling potatoes but once you start making and using this gel you'll never discard it again. Potato in any form,be it fresh potato juice, boiled potato or potato water lightens scars and blemishes very well. It also brightens dull skin very effectively.
Next time you boil potatoes at home, don't discard the water. Use it in skincare. This gel will be especially helpful for people who are suffering from scars and pigmentation. It can be used for both oily and dry skin with aslight modification. Try to use it regularly to see good results. Boil potatoes in a pot or a pressure cooker. Most of us usually boil potatoes with the skin on but for this gel remove the skin, cut into pieces and then boil the potatoes. Add in half teaspoon of turmeric powder to it. Once the potatoes are cooked, strain out the water. To make the potato face gel, take a tablespoon of aloe vera gel that is free of color and perfume in a bowl. Add in half teaspoon of vegetable glycerin to it. Add in 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of potato boiled water. Finally add in few drops of essential oil of your choice, you can use any essential oil except citrus essential oils. Now mix well using a spoon, at first the mixture will be very very lumpy but as you keep mixing, it'll form a smooth gel. Once mixed well, take it in a bottle and store it in the fridge. This face gel should last well for 4 to 5 days in the fridge. To use, before going to bed, take the gel and apply it all over the face and neck. Since we're adding turmeric powder to the gel, I would suggest using it in the night as turmeric increases skin sensitivity to sun in some people. Also since we are boiling the turmeric powder, it usually does not stain the skin much. Regular use of this gel will fade scars, blemishes and dark spots very well. If you have oily skin, reduce the amount of vegetable glycerin. If you have extremely dry skin, you can increase the vegetable glycerin accordingly.
After making the face gel, if there is turmeric water left we can use it to make face packs too. Take a tablespoon of gram flour in a bowl. Add in a teaspoon of honey to it. Finally add in enough of the potato boiled water to form a smooth paste. Now mix well with a spoon. To use, take the paste and apply it all over the face and neck. Wait for it to almost dry and then wash it off. Use both these treatments together to get a glowing skin. The facepack can be used weekly twice and the face gel can be used on a regular basis.
