A BRIEF ABOUT THE DHANWANTARI MOORTHY (REMOVER OF ILLNESS)
Lord Dhanwantari is regarded as the god of ayurvedic medicine (Ayurveda) in the Hindu religion. People pray to Dhanvantari, asking him for improved or good health for themselves and for others. Dhanvantri Mantra forms the part of prayers offered to the lord. Mantra of Dhanwantari with its meaning is as follows:
Near to my hometown, there is a place called Nelluvai, there this temple is there. I remember, when I was small, my daddy's elder brother (periyappa, bade pappa) had come to Wadakanchery and told my Daddy to take him to that temple. When we reached over there, the temple was about to close but when we told them that my periyappa had come all the way from Bombay (that time it was Bombay), for darshan, they allowed us to enter the temple for darshan. We thanked the poojari for allowing us to have the darshan.
As you all are aware, Dhanvantra moorthy is the God we pray for a healthy life without any diseases. Hence i have taken his name on top before posting this recipe praying that everyone should have a good healthy living.

Dhanvantri Mantra forms the part of prayers offered to the lord. Mantra of Dhanwantari with its meaning is as follows:
"Om Namo Bhagavate
Maha Sudharshana
Vasudevaya Dhanvantaraye;
Amrutha Kalasa Hasthaaya
Sarva Bhaya Vinasaya
Sarva Roka Nivaranaya

Meaning: We pray to the God, who is known as Sudarshana Vasudev Dhanvantari. He holds the Kalasha full of nectar of immortality. Lord Dhanvantri removes all fears and removes all diseases. He is the well wisher and the preserver of the three worlds. Dhanvantari is like Lord Vishnu, empowered to heal the Jiva souls. We bow to the Lord of Ayurveda.
