KAUAI, HAWAII, May 2, 2002: An HPI reader has

requested a traditional recipe to make kumkum, the red

powder or paste offered to the Diety in temple

ceremonies and put on the forehead of the devotees. If

you know how to make it in the traditional fashion

with lime and tumeric, kindly contact "source"

above.

I don't believe it's lime the fruit but lime as slaked lime or calcium hydroxide. Slaked lime mixed with tumeric, water and heat creats the brilliant vermillion red kumkuma. Though there are some sources which say to add citric acid... But I don't know about mixing citric acid with calcium hydroxide because it reacts very violently to acids.
