Mrs.Mano's Tamilnadu Delicacies

[nalabaagam]

Dear Mrs. Mano,

I need a favor...I want your advice on foods that will reduce body heat.
Due to excess heat I often end up with boils in face

I know that fruits like water melon is good for heat reduction. In food, adding vendhayam, seeragam in cooking would reduce heat. I do take all these.

I am interested in knowing any food recipes focusing on body heat reduction. Also foods or ingredients that should be avoided due to excess heat.

Appreciate your response,

Nalabaagam.

Dear Mrs.Mano,
For a long time, I have seen your absence from the hub.
I hope everything is ok,
Your AUTHENTIC recipes are missed.
Hope to see you once again active in Forum.

How abt drinking plenty of water? Or applying sandol on the face(it might cause cold too). Coconut water, veg., like cucumber is also good.

I saw in a magazine saying methi seed water in an empty stomach during morning(soaking seed in water overnight and drinking the water) is really helping out to reduce the body heat.

Somewhere, I read that ragi cools yr body and advised that while feeding it to kids, you can add ghee to neutralize so that the kid will not catch cold. So, why dont you try ragi without adding ghee?

Back at home, my mother used to say that leftover rice's water(pazhayadhu) is good in reducing body heat; here, it is not possible!

Will let you know, if I come across anything useful..

Hi Mrs. Mano,

Tried your chicken biryani over the weekend and this version was also a BIG HIT!!! My hubby LOVED it... Tx for the recipes....

And I second the request for you to be present more often in this forum, if all else is fine at your end... we definitely miss your regular inputs...

Hello R,

Thanks for your suggestions...they are real useful ones.

Yeah...I know about cucumbers effect and I keep adding to my food in the form of salda, raita, etc.

I am going to try out vendhayam soaked in water, though I used to take vendhayam with curd whenever I get stomach ache (sootu vali).

Can you share some Ragi recipes to take them? Did you mean Ragi Kanju?

Regards,
Nalabaagam

No problem..Nongu is also an excellent fruit to take.

Yes, ragi kanji-the one we use to feed our kids.

And, recently my father too informed abt taking vendhayam water, particularly people those who late sit at night, shd take them regularly to reduce heat from the body.

Some people apply vendhayam paste before taking head bath since will reduce the heat of the head too.
