2 Ingredients Homemade Hand Sanitizer
With the corona virus, hand sanitizer's have gone missing in all super markets or it is ridiculously priced. It's easy and simple to make your own hand sanitizer's, you just need a couple of ingredients. To kill potent virus like the covid 19, you need alcohol based sanitizer's, the normal gel based sanitizer's won't be enough. And the alcohol used should be 99% alcohol.
We used these kinds of alcohol based sanitizer's when we see patients and when we go to the operation theatre to assist cases. These alcohol based hand sanitizer's are not recommended a lot as it has a tendency to wipe out the good bacteria in our hands, but now when we are dealing with something like the coronavirus, it is very important to use good alcohol based hand sanitizer's.

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.

How to make a soft Chapathi
I am a South Indian and I was never good at making soft chapathis!! I can make super soft idlis and cakes easily but I always faltered when it came to chapathi and somehow I never liked making it. But, now I can happily say that I've mastered the art of making soft chapathi!! If you are a beginner then all I can say is, never give up. Keep practicing and you will end up making lovely soft chapathi!
Few tips
There are many aspects to making a soft chapathi. Here is a list that I have learnt from my trial and error.
1. Add warm to hot water to the flour. Adding hot water makes the dough soft and pliable. Add water little by little and knead till the dough comes together.
2. You can also add warm milk to make the dough. Milk also makes the dough soft.
3. Add a tsp of oil to the flour while kneading. That also makes the dough soft.
4. Knead the dough well so that gluten is formed. Use your knuckles or the palm of your hand and knead the dough atleast for 10 minutes.
4. Roll the dough evenly. The chapathi should not be too thick. Also it is important that the rolled out dough is not thick at one end and thin at the other. It should be of even thickness to get a nice puffed up chapathi.
5. Let the dough rest for atleast 45 minutes to 1 hour.
6. It is best to cook the chapathi as and when you roll it out rather than to roll out all the chapathi and cooking it one by one. If your not confident in this, then cook 3 or 4 at a time.
7. Cooking the chapathi is also important. Make sure the tawa is heated up before you place the rolled dough. Do not keep flipping the chapathi many times and burning it. Wait for the bubbles to appear and flip just a few times.
8. Place the cooked chapathi in a hot pack. You can apply some butter or ghee over it.
