Warangan

Hi guys,

Thank you very much both of u. I really appreciate the tips. The colour of the warangan is pinkish Adni. I think it is not as pure as the last one that i had. The last one is almost totally pink. However since i dont know the true method of preparing the solution, i had made a silly mistake with that one and it is unusable now.

I'll try to get the pictures of the warangan for other forumite next week. Hehehe.. dont worry Paul i'm using a hammer to pound the warangan... and the hammer is not used to pound blachan. hehehe.. Btw i just finished squeezing 5 kg of lime last night. Phewww.. a few lesson learned:

1. 5 kg of lime will make around 1.5 - 1.7 litres of lime juice (after straining).
2. Using blender is no good. U still have to squeeze it afterwards.
3. Squeezing limes (especially green ones) cause sore fingers up to several hours.
4. Getting lime juice in your eyes is... ouch!

Thanks again both of u for the advice.

Pak Rasdan,
Perhaps the best solution to your predicament is to buy a labour saving device - one of those stainless steel lemon squeezers where you squeeze out the juice using a lever, instead of using the good old fashioned kampung way of squeezing by hand. I used to handle one of these working in a fast food joint to make lime juice.
I've seen wooden squeezers as well, if you prefer something traditional in a craft shop in central market.

Using the lime squeezer would be a good option as it saves much more time and energy but what i would like to suggest is getting those concentrated lime juice that were already squeeze and packed nicely in some supermarkets. BTW where can i obtain those warangan and what does it look like ?

Thanks for the advice. Actually, my friend got the warangan for me in indonesia when he went back there for eid-ul-fitrie. I dont know precisely the shop that he went. However i got the address for a warangan shop in Jakarta.

I'll try to post the pictures of the warangan tomorrow. Thanks.

THE MOST CRITICAL PART FOR SAFTEY MAY BE WHEN YOU POUND THE ARSNIC, I WOULD WEAR A DUST MASK LIKE SURGEONS OR PAINTERS USE. ARSNIC CAN'T BE ABSORBED THRU THE SKIN DEEP ENOUGH TO GET INTO YOUR SYSTEM AND SKIN SHEDS TAKING ANY CONTAMINATION WITH IT. IT CAN GET INTO YOUR SYSTEM BY EATING , BREATHING OR GETTING SOME IN YOUR EYES, CUTS ARE NOT MUCH OF A PROBLEM UNLESS YOU LIKE TO SOAK YOUR HANDS FOR LONG PERIODS. GOOD LUCK
