Default Navarasa Podi - for diorrhea.

Specially good to eat when one has diorrhea.

Chundaikkai vatral - 2 cups

Dried neem flowers - 2 cups

Fresh curry leaves - 2 cups

Dry ginger - 2” piece – 2 no:s

Jeera - 6 tsp

Pepper - 2 tsp

Red chillies - 5,6

Mustard seeds - 2 tsp

Hing - 2 tsp

Salt - (about) 2 tbsp

Wash & drain curry leaves thoroughly.

In a dry kadai, roast chundaikkai vatral, dried neem flowers, jeera, pepper, red chillies & hing one by one.

Splutter mustard seeds dry & add.

Crush ginger, roast dry & mix.

Lightly roast salt & add.

Powder everthing fine & store airtight, free from moisture.

Keep well for 3,4 months.

When one has diorrhea, cook rice very soft, to hot rice add 2,3 spoons of this powder, mix with gingelly oil & eat.

After this eat cold rice mixed with buttermilk.

Eating this way twice a day, helps control diorrhea.
