Karuvepilai Podi | Curry Leaves Powder | How to make!

Its difficult to blog after post natal, taking care of both the babies is quite interesting and busy. since Amma and Appa is here to help me, I am posting quite a few recipes.

This is a post for Non Karuvepilai/curry leaves lovers.
Curry leaves is very healthy and rich in Iron. This also gives good aroma to the dish.

Most of the people/kids throw if found in food. Sometimes it gets spoilt keeping in fridge for long time. You can make large batches and reserve few. Making these still has the natural aroma and is flavourful.

Today,I had posted a question on my Facebook page check it out here. Thanks to my friends found interesting answers.

So here is a simple solution for this.


 
Method

Take Bunches of karuvepillai/curry leaves sprigs.

Wash curry leaves sprigs and pat dry it.

Spread them on a white cotton cloth or news paper.

Keep it in sun or under shade until all water is dried.

If its under good sun, remove stem and grind the leaves to fine powder in mixie.

In abroad if you cant put under sun, wipe them remove leaves dry roast the leaves in a kadai. Cool it and grind to fine powder.


Store in air tight container and use it in your cooking.

PS - You can reserve some fresh leaves.

We can feed Curry leaves to our kids :)

Nuvia Healthy Coffee | Product Review!

Today I am reveiwing Nuvia healthy coffee! This has been in my drafts for long time.

I am a coffee lover and drink coffee any time of a day and en number of times.

I am sure all my friends will agree with me. Nowadays since its too hot in Singapore, I have reduced my coffee very much.

So, when I got an opportunity to review a Coffee immediately I was happy and agreed to do it.

Nuvia Healthy Coffee is infused with 3 legendary extracts. Here is some info about  Nuvia Healthy Coffee:
 
Nuvia  is Sumatran Arabica coffee infused with a trifecta of legendary ingredients:  Ganoderma (an immune enhancer), African Mango (a natural appetite suppressant) and Pomegranate (a super antioxidant).  The Sumatran coffee beans are roasted to perfection yielding a superior flavor that is rustic, yet rich and full bodied. This comes in packets which is easy to use.

  
I just loved the flavour and the strongness in the powder. First I thought how will mango pomogrante taste in coffee, but after drinking it was worth a drink.
 
 
 I have served this traditionally!
 
This product is available in USA or you can order online here.
