    Curry leaves powder

    I wanted to share this podi here for a long time. Even though this is a staple in our house, i somehow missed to share it here. Finally i made quite a few powders yesterday specially for blog. Will share all those soon.

    The curry tree (Murraya koenigii) is a type of tree that is also known as karivepallai, karivembu, karivepaku, or kadipatta. It is a native of India and is mostly found in hot climates.

    Apart from having a strong odour and a pungent taste, curry leaves are high in vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin C, vitamin B2, calcium, and iron. By adding curry leaves to your meals, you can treat dysentery, diarrhoea, diabetes, morning sickness, and nausea.

    When cooked, urad has an earthy flavour and an unusual mucousy texture.

    Black Pepper :
    Peppers distinct flavour complements almost any savoury dish, as well as some sweet dishes. If salt helps to bring out flavours, black pepper makes foods more assertive.
