sonthi powder after processing (ie. putting sonthi against fire for getting dried and pounding and then mix salt) to be mixed daily with rice and eat one or two muddas (neembu size). This will help in reducing kapha and generates heat in the body and works against welling of body/body parts

sonthi I think can be used as medicine for swelling of body/body parts due to vatam. Get me feed back after using sonthi. Sonthi power can be preparted after heating sonthi against fire and then to be pounded. Directly it cannot be put in mixy since it has fibre. The sonthi pouder (half spoon can be mixed with rice)and eat first before starting meals.

I love the taste of ginger. The stronger the better. I have been adding it to my tea for a long time without knowing that it was medicine. Have you ever tried the ginger flavored Altoids?

Indira; thank you for the wonderful recipe! I will definitely be trying this the next time I’m ailing…

Indira replies:
Try it first with tea, Stephanie. It’s just like fresh ginger tea but without that fresh smell of ginger.

I knew it will a totally different post! Was waiting for it! Sweet!

Hope you dont mind, but an off topic:
Saw your comment on Sumitha’s Kitchen Wonders about cassava/kappa/tapioca.If you havent made this before,just wanted to tell you that you should peel two layers of skin for the fresh cassava, the brown one and the pink one inside,then boil the diced pieces and strain the water when it boils, add water again, when it boils strain it again. It is very important to strain it twice, when you cook cassava. Sometimes the cassava can cause mild irritant to your unaccustomed stomache if not strained. Have and enjoy this delicious dish from Kerala. It replaces rice and is a main dish, so you can have it instead of rice or chapathi with any gravy.

Indira replies:
I totally thought the date was July 4th. Problem with numbers.:)
Got it, LG. Thanks so much for sharing this information on kappa. I’ll certainly follow your suggestions and I want my first experience a pleasant one. Thanks again!
