    | 1. In a small bowl mix together baking soda and turmeric powder. | 2. Add a few drops of water and keep stirring. | 3. The mixture should be smooth and no lumps should be present. | 4. You may add more baking soda if you prefer that the tikka colour be a lighter shade of red(more like an orange) or you may add more turmeric powder if you want it to be a darker red. | 5. Leave uncovered on the kitchen countertop overnight. | 6. The next morning you will find that this mixture has turned red and is ready to use. | 7. If it has dried up by morning, you may add a few drops of water and stir it vigorously. | 8. It should not be too dry nor too wet. Just right. Right means that when you apply it on the forehead it should not drip down but stay put. | 9. You may also use this recipe when you need to get the colour of gravy to turn red and you don't have the box of red food colour on hand. | 10. This colour is washable and turmeric is good for the skin, so you are safe with this recipe. | 11. You may also use this to enjoy the Indian festival of Holi! | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
