Note that while this playdough is safe to eat, it probably would not be a good idea to gobble it up all at once. It is a great choice for young children who like to put things into their mouths, however. This is enough for one batch of edible playdough. If you'd like to make more colors, you will need to make another batch. How much food coloring you add is up to you. The more you add, the darker your playdough will be. This will take about 30 seconds, but it may take less depending on the strength of your microwave. Keep stirring until the ingredients thicken and you can't stir anymore. If you need to, use a potholder to handle the bowl. If the dough is too dry, add a little bit more coconut oil. If the dough is too wet, add some more cornstarch. Be careful; the ingredients may still be hot. Because it is edible, you can even eat some of it too. Just don't eat too much, or you'll get a tummy ache! When you are done playing with it, store it in an airtight container. If it starts to smell funny or weird, throw it out; it is expired and not safe to eat anymore.

One-sentence summary -- Place the marshmallows, cornstarch, and coconut oil into a microwave-safe bowl. Add a few drops of food coloring, if desired, and give the ingredients a quick stir to combine. Heat the ingredients in the microwave until the marshmallows start to expand. Carefully take the bowl out of the microwave and stir the ingredients together with a spoon. Knead the dough with your hands until everything is evenly mixed together. Play with the playdough.


If your tendonitis isn't going away and hasn't responded very well to rest and basic home care, then see your doctor for a physical examination. Your doctor will assess the severity of your tendonitis, sometimes using diagnostic equipment such as ultrasound or MRI, and give you recommendations. If the tendon has torn away from the bone (ruptured), then a referral to an orthopedic surgeon for surgical repair will be necessary. For less serious situations, rehabilitation and/or steroid injections are often more appropriate.  Most surgeries for severe tendonitis is performed arthroscopically, by inserting a small camera and miniature instruments through small incisions close to joints.  For chronic tendonitis, focused aspiration of scar tissue (FAST) is a minimally invasive surgery that removes scar tissue from the tendon without irritating the healthy tissue. If your tendonitis is a chronic condition, but not particularly serious, then your doctor will likely refer you for rehabilitation, such as physiotherapy. A physical therapist will show you specific and tailored stretches and strengthening exercises for your affected tendon and surrounding musculature. For example, eccentric strengthening — which involves contraction of a muscle/tendon while it's lengthening — is effective in treating chronic tendonitis.. Physical therapy is usually required two to three per week for four to eight weeks to positively impact chronic tendonitis.  Physical therapists can also treat inflamed tendons with therapeutic ultrasound or micro-current, both proven to help relieve inflammation and stimulate healing. Some physical therapists (and other medical professionals) use low-energy light waves (infrared) to decrease inflammation and pain in mild-to-moderate musculoskeletal injuries. If your doctor thinks it's warranted, he may recommend a steroid injection into or near your inflamed tendon. Steroids such as cortisone are very effective at reducing inflammation in a short period of time, which can eliminate pain and restore mobility (at least short-term), but there are risks to be aware of. In rare cases, corticosteroid injections can further weaken the injured tendon and cause it to tear. As such, corticosteroid injections are not recommended repeatedly for tendinitis lasting over three months because it increases the risk of tendon ruptures.  Steroid injections provide short-term pain relief, but may not have long-term success.  In addition to tendon weakening, other side effects associated with steroid injections include infection, local muscle atrophy, nerve damage and reduced immune function. If steroid injections fail to resolve the tendonitis, particularly if it's in conjunction with physical therapy, then some form of surgery should be considered. PRP treatment is relatively new and still being studied, but it involves taking a sample of your blood and spinning it to separate out the platelets and various healing factors from the red blood cells. The plasma mixture is then injected into chronically inflamed tendon(s), which is reported to reduce inflammation and boost tissue healing.  If effective, PRP would be a much better alternative to corticosteroid injections due to the lack of side effects. As with any invasive procedure, there always exists risks of infection, excessive bleeding and/or the build-up of scar tissue.

It's important you are using dried red chilli peppers and dried coriander as opposed to fresh versions. If you dry roasted the fresh versions of these ingredients, the sambar powder would not be as spicy and make it more difficult to grind them into a fine powder. You will be using each bowl to cool each ingredient after dry roasting. Alternatively, you can mix all your ingredients in a large bowl after roasting. However, it may take longer to cool if you mix all the ingredients together after dry roasting. In general, you should dry roast each ingredient separately until fragrant or until it becomes slightly browned. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to keep the ingredients moving and prevent it from burning. Dry roasting times will vary depending on each ingredient.  If you are using dried hing, or asafoetida, powder, dry roast it for 2 minutes with the coriander seeds. If you are using whole asafoetida, save that ingredient for later and just dry roast the coriander seeds alone for 2 minutes. For dried red chilli peppers, cumin seeds, peppercorn, dry roast them each and separately for 2 minutes. Dry roast the fenugreek seeds for 5 minutes. For the channa dhal, dry roast it for 10 minutes. If you are dry roasting large quantities of each ingredient, dry roast them in batches. After dry roasting each ingredients, set them aside to cool. Add a dash of cooking oil in your pan. Then fry the asafoetida for 2 to 3 minutes until it changes to a light yellowy colour. Remove the asafoetida. Then in the same oil, fry your curry leaves until they are dry and change into a dark, crisp colour. It's important you are using a whole piece of asafoetida when frying in oil and not the powder. The powder can be dry roasted with the coriander seeds. Cooling down the ingredients prevents wet lumps from forming during grinding. A good wait time would be about 15 to 20 minutes for everything to completely cool down. Grind everything in a food processor. If you are making a large batch, you may need to grind everything in batches. Alternatively, you can bring your ingredients to a grinder mill or grinding store where they will have large machines to grind the ingredients for you.

One-sentence summary -- Gather all the ingredients in separate bowls. Dry roast each ingredient in a wok or pan on low heat. Fry the whole piece of asafoetida and curry leaves separately in oil on low heat. Let your ingredients cool completely. Grind the ingredients together to make a fine powder.
