    Yes, you are correct, it spins. You see my grandmother is pulling the string, once from one hand and from another. In this short video you can see the lady churning the yoghurt, in India many people call it curd (it's wrong).

    For a long time now I wanted to show you how to make authentic/desi ghee. The real stuff, not clarified butter (that garbage is unhealthy) so here we go step by step.

    Oh they are easy on fences, once they get the shock, they are never going to touch it again. Once one of my buffaloes was eating sweet ripe fruits from our local taad palm and a big ripe juicy fruit fell on her head. Now she admires the fruits from a distance.

    We don't have durian here, I have heard about it though. They say that it is like jackfruit, but it's not nearly as sweet and tasty. Ripe jackfruits have a strong, floral and sweet aroma and the pods are slimy. I don't know why but some people like me just can't resist the smell and many other...

    Only thing we cook without spices are rice and roti. However there are several rice and roti dishes that use spices, but those are not eaten daily. Otherwise there are spices even for tea.

    One thing I forgot to mention in the cons is that they love water, they are called Water Buffaloes for a reason. They need water during summer months.

    I would not hate, I believe in trying different food. I hate preconceptions. The thing I hate most about your food is the lack of spices and salt. For goodness sake it's 2021, not 1118. Spices don't sell for the price of gold!!!

    The former, not the later. Old means old. People here like eating fresh meat straight from the butchers block to the pot. There's no such thing as preserved meat. People don't even like fish that has been frozen in ice. Fishermen (usually their wives) sell life fish in the market.

    The main predators we have are tigers, leopards and golden jackals. The wall is a barrier only for the jackals. Tigers never enter villages, once in a blue moon there's a news about a young subadult male tiger is roaming in the fields. They are usually chased out by mature dominant males. The...

    There are some cons of having Buffaloes. 1) in my personal opinion they are not suitable for extensive farming. You cannot put them on a several thousand acre ranch and after few years gather them and load them on trains. They have a tendency to go feral if they don't get human interaction for...

    Well people are raising Buffaloes from Phillipines to Egypt. More people rely on Water Buffaloes than any other livestock. However there are some obvious cons of keeping Buffaloes that I was going to mention, but I got busy.
