If you have grown up in a desi household, you know how mothers love their Tupperware ka dabba more than you. From reusing things to recycling one, Indian mom’s jugaad proves how creative and talented they are.
We have compiled a list of incidents where our desi mom’s jugaad left us in splits and yet won our hearts.
1. This bottle of vodka was spotted during a pooja where the mother stored oil for devotional rituals. Call this a jugaad and a perfect lesson by desi mom.

3. Because Indian moms always find a way to win your heart! Though the mother-in-law could not cook non-veg but still impressed us with this heartwarming gesture.
So the story goes that son-in-law demanded chicken in dinner but the problem was in-laws were vegetarian. So the chweet mom-in-law came up with this yummy Indian jugaad! Lol joke 😜 but I love the presentation 😋😘 pic.twitter.com/hnZ71uGlzw

7. Just little things we learn from our Indian moms. Did you know? Rice water can provide nutrients and minerals to your plants.
Good morning Gentle reminder, if you cook rice at home and has houseplants or garden, water your plants with rice water. Your plants will be so healthy and love it! My mom taught me this since I was very little, let me know if you try this too :). pic.twitter.com/EFYkcOsbnW
