Milagu is Pepper and Poondu is Garlic. Whats all about "wonder drug" treatment.Yeah, we are talking about garlic and pepper here...Lets see whats all about this?
Five - Six times a week , we eat some junk foods,french fries,burgers,Chats etc made with different oils and tense our intestines. So, I have decided to clean our internal body once a week.Poondu/Milagu Kozhambu otherwise known as Garlic/Pepper Kozhambu is the best one.
If you google garlic and its medical value, you may find it be called as "Wonder Drug". Its a reputation for preventing everything form the Common Cold and Flu to the Plague!
At the same time, pepper has also its own benefits.In Ayurveda, Siddha,Unnani medicines, it has proved remedies to Constipation, Diarrhea, Earchae, Gangrene, Heart Disease ,Hernia ,Indigestion ,Joint Pain etc.,
As we keep ourselves clean everyday, its also our duty to keep our internal body clean and healthy. Once a week, its better to prepare this Milagu/Poondu Kozhambu and have it.And to our surprise, am using sessame oil which is also good for health. In tamil, it is called as "Nalla ennai" which translates as "good Oil". Its always better to use Sesame/gingelly oil for this one.Its just a 5 step process.
Here is the recipe:
Ingredients:
Tamarind - 1 big lemon size
Sessame Oil - 2 spns
Garlic - 10-12 cloves
Long red Chillies- 1
To fry and Grind:
Milagu/Black pepper- 1.5 tsp
Kalla Parupu/Channa Dal - 1 tsp
Toor Parupu/Toor Dal - 2 tsp
Molaga/Long red Chillies- 3
Asafoetida/Perungayam - 1/2 tsp
Tempering:
Mustard - 1 spn
Method:
1) Extract tamarind Juice and keep aside.
2) Take a small vessel or Kadai, pour oil and Mustard. Wait till it splutters.
3) Peel garlic and put in the kadai and fry for 2 minutes. Add 1 long red chilli also.
4) While its doing so, pour tamarind water in to the kadai with the salt.
5) Afer boiling for 5-10 mts, pour the grinded mixture and let it boil for 5 minutes.
Thats all it takes to do.
P.S: After garnishing with curry leaves , you can fry 2-3 garlic in oil and put it on top.It smells wonderful.
