This sounds really refreshing. I make a hot ginger tea, which I also ice to make iced ginger tea. It’s a very healthy drink, sweetened with a bit of jaggery, and full of nuturing spices. I have some good pictures on my blog: http://mangosoup.blogspot.com/2009/08/ginger-tea.html

Hi Indira,
Just loved your pics and the vratham menu you have given.
Preparing buttermilk…ah!! that triggers old memories, everyday morning my granny used to sit with a big pot of yogurt and churn it with this mathu ( in tamil), she used to say early mornings are best time to make buttermilk. However, after churning, she used to seperate the butter and the buttermilk…the butter would later be melted and used to prepare ghee. Hmm…I just love the fresh buttermilk aroma..

buttermilk is a regular at most homes. but this is a nice way of incorporating ginger into daily regime. ginger is used regularly in curries and in ayurveda its prescribed with honey.nice alternative! love ginger tea too.but buttermilk is better than tea anyday!

This flower is called Sadabahar in Hindi and I believe has a lot of medicinal power and is used in the treatment of diabetes.

Whether I am interested in your recipes or not, I cant afford to miss your clicks, even a simple recipe of yours will have amazing photography. I am a big fan of that.

Ginger in majjiga seems new and great. I love ginger flavour, will try it today itself.

Indira,

I use a japanese ginger grater that would grate the ginger for your allam majiga perfectly.

If you get the grater, I hope you will feature it in a post. It’s one of my most treasured kitchen tools.

Thanks for your WV posts. I’ve been looking for something like this for a long time. My only doubt is how/what would I feed the rest of the family?
