The notion of Jugaad is what every Indian household is acquainted with. Indians have a reputation for making the most of little resources. The concept of reusing and recycling is ingrained in our psyche as well.
A blogger recently demonstrated an Indian Jugaad for repurposing a bottle of ginger paste in her home. The writer stated that her family, like other Indians, believes in repurposing as often as possible. She exposed the hack on Instagram, and the video was posted, with tens of thousands of Indians watching it.
Blogger Arshia Moorjani posted the video on Instagram Reels. Since it was shared, it has had over 857k views and 22k likes, as well as hundreds of replies and comments.
“Tell me you are Indian without telling me you’re Indian! I’ll go first… my family recycles everything,” read the caption of the post.
She confessed that the Dosa batter was in the container of ginger paste in the refrigerator. Instead of tossing away the unused ginger paste in the container, they stored it and utilized it to make a delectable Dosa flour that could be used at any time. The ginger paste’s flavors would sink into the dosa batter, elevating it to new heights of perfection. Isn’t it amazing?
Some of the comments on the post read, “Seems Asians and Africans have been recycling before it was “the right thing to do.” “The most common I have seen is saag in an ice cream container,” was another one.
