Sundakkai Vathal Podi,Thakkali Poricha Kuzhambu Recipe-South Indian Lunch Menu For Stomach Problems

RIP DR.APJ Abdul Kalam SirSad.
Actually I had to share a biryani recipe in my Sunday lunch series today.Sorry for disappointing you all with this post.Last 3 days I was in Rameswaram for temple visit.We had good darshan but unfortunately we all got stomach problems due to some food allergy.By God’ grace,our trip was successful and reached Bangalore yesterday.As our stomach is completely upset,we wanted to avoid spicy foods for some days.So this afternoon I made Sundakkai Vathal podi(Dried Turkey berry powder) & Spice less,no tamarind thakkali poricha kuzhambu(tomato gravy without tamarind) along with Paruppu sadam(moong dal tadka) & thayir sadam for our lunch.I guess most of you just make dal & rasam during sick days but this is our standard lunch menu whenever we recover from any health ailments.Sundakkai/Turkey berry is a good antibiotic to kill the ameoba in stomach.Pepper & cumin seeds used in this powder helps to improve appetite and aids digestion.Tomato is an energy booster basically.Coconut,cumin seeds/jeera and onions acts as a coolant for the upset stomach and helps for digestion.Moong dal and curd/buttermilk helps to cure stomach inflammations.To sum up,this South Indian Lunch menu would be soothing and tasty for an upset stomach & bitter tasting tongue.Do try this menu for a change.U may like it.Not just sick days,u can consume Sundakkai podi at least once in a week to keep your stomach clean if you eat hotel food regularly.Lets check out the recipes of sundakkai podi and thakkali poricha kuzhambu below.Last but not the least,I will surely share my biryani post sometime in this weekHappy.
