How to clean a Comb easily
How do you clean your comb if you don't have a comb cleaner at home? Well, this is how I do it, it's easy and simple and very effective!
I pour some hot water over the dirty comb and then add some detergent soap powder, some anti dandruff shampoo and some lime to the hot water. Now if you don't have any dandruff issues then you need not add the anti dandruff shampoo or the lemon juice. Since we have dandruff problem at home, I always add some lemon juice and anti dandruff shampoo everytime I clean the comb to get rid of the dandruff. By adding hot water you can clean the comb perfectly in just 10 minutes!
Also you don't have to pour hot water, this works with normal tap water too. I usually don't use hot water to clean my comb. What I do is, I put the comb in normal water and add the other ingredients and let it soak overnight and the next morning I simply wash the comb and the dirt is all gone.

Siru Keerai is also known as Amaranthus tropical in English. It is a very healthy greens variety that is very popular in South India. Usually when we buy siru keerai, we use the leaves alone and discard the stems but we can make a tasty soup out of these stems.
This soup is very good for those with kidney problems and for those with diabetics. It also helps in digestion. If your kids won't eat greens, then you can make such soups and give them and they will get all the benefits of the keerai through this soup.
This is a simple method to make this soup, you can also make this soup more tasty by adding onions, tomatoes and some garlic.
