Instant Mehndi


Ingredients:

Sugar: 2 tbsps
Vaamu: 2 tbsps
Kumkum: 1 tbsp
Water

Vessels:

2 steel vessels or iron vessels of same size ( it is very hard to clean the bottom one  so better to use at least one old vessel) 
1 bowl of samll size which can fit inside the big bowl
1 plate to cover the big bowl



Method: 

Take one big vessel and add the ingredients to it except water.
Put the small vessel in the big vessel in the middle of the ingredients. 
Cover the big vessel with the second big vessel.
Fill the top vessel with water and cover it with plate.
Cook it on medium heat untill you see some water in the small bowl. (Takes some time, but check frequently)
Add Kumkum to the water and mix well.
Decorate your hands with it using your decorative skills.
Wash your hands once dry. (Takes just 2-5 minutes)

This mehndi stays for only a week.
