Hi Supermoms,
Peppercorns and Cumin seeds are two main ingredients we use in our everyday cooking . They have so many healing properties and are used as medicine in Ayurveda.
The Milagu Jeeraga Podi is a great detox powder and is usually enjoyed as the first course in our meal along with rice and hot ghee. You will feel an instant warmth inside and will have an increased appetite.
I learnt to make this powder from my MIL ( Mother-in -law) and have been doing it regularly for the past two decades. Be it after long travels or during upset stomach, this podi is the natural medicine .
After heavy birthday party treats, I craved for this Milagu Jeeragu Podi yesterday and made a fresh batch. This time, I wanted to share the recipe with all of you.
A handy recipe that requires just 3 ingredients - Peppercorns (Milagu), Cumin seeds (Jeera) and salt.
