Kurakkan Iddly

Research goes on in my Kitchen... Using ingredients my grandma used as per her ancestors... thus mine! Accoring to grandma Kurakkan (Tamil)/Raggi (Hindi)/Millet (English) was consumed daily and people were very healthy. Quoting her (circa 1960s) the reason for all the sickness in current generation is due to the increased use of white american flour (refers to the imported bleached wheat flour). As we now know... Grandma Is Right!

Kurrakan is used in many breakfast items like Puttu & Idyyappam. I have not eaten or known anyone making Appam (Hoppers) & iddly (world's Best Healthy Breakfast) with Kurakkan which involves fermenting process and I have been trying. Finally got it coming out nicely since 2017! Still tweaking & refining the recipe. Getting better everytime...

Grandma's Kothamali

Kothamali is an Ancient household Remedy for Cold or Fever & everyone growig up in Ceylon would have drank it one time or another.  The receipe may vary a little from family to family. But, every ingredient is added for a specific reason and out come. In my Grandma's time they took so much time to carefully prepare & store every ingredient in a specific manner. 

In modern times, most of us try to relearn the Receipe from friends or an old family member. We just order the ingredients online & request overnight delivery! 

I have taught everyone of my kids how to make Kothamali & send them with a bottle of Ready Dry mix! I am proud of them as they have not only used it but also have helped their multiple room mates with kothamali drink when they were down with seasonal FLU. Now they all are convince of the healing power of Kothamali.

It is important to share our knowledge with others outside of family & a duty to help other human beings in preventing disease or heal from it  - if we hold the ancestral Knowledge or an ancient home remedy proven to heal!

Here's my Grandma's Kothamali Kashayam:

(In SL Even  6 m baby are fed/ drink - diluted 1:1 with boiled water)

Oomam (Ajwan) - 1 table spoon

Milaku (Bl. Pepper) - 25 corns

Ingi (Ginger) - good thumb size/ peeled

Corriander - 1 & 1/2 cup

Roasted or not - but all incredients need to be washed in clean water & drained

On Slow boil with 6 cups water - till reduced to 5 cups

Never drink cold. Drink hotter than warm 3 - 4 cups through out of the day!

(Acrostic Receipe! 1- 4 pinch of  Turmeric is added as necessary)
