A HEALTHY DRINK

Using Urad dal am making a healthy drink.
This  drink is  given to ladies who are breast feeding,increases the milk flow and also given to ladies who have their monthly periods. Its believed that Urad dal when taken during periods reduces the abdominal pain as well..
This dish tastes awesome when prepared with the palm jaggery, if not can try with regular jaggery but the taste is not assured.

INGREDIENTS:

  • urad dal - 1/2 cup (soaked for 2 hrs)
  • water - 2 cups
  • dry ginger powder - 2 tbsp
  • cardamom powder - 1/2 tsp
  • palm jaggery - 1/2 cup

PREPARATION:

  1. grind the urad dal to a fine paste
  2. boil water and when its very hot add the ground paste and mix well
  3. keep stirring to avoid lumps.
  4. when the mixture gets cooked and the raw smell goes off add the palm jaggery and mix well
  5. when the jaggery is dissolved add cardamom powder and dry ginger powder
  6. when its in a porridge consistency remove from fire, strain and serve warm



You can drink this instead of coffee & tea or else make a porridge consistency take it as a main food in breakfast or dinner.
