KAFIR LIME LEAVES MILAGAI PODI

We make veppilakkati with the narathanga elai.  I had plucked some leaves to prepare the veppilakkati but somehow I could not make it.   The leaves were left like that and dried up.  So thought of making milagai podi with it and turned out to be awesome for the idli, dosa.

I do not know whether anyone has tried this recipe.  I always look for a unique recipes with the ingredients available, I thought let me try with it and the end result is yummy.

Hope you will also make use of the same.  The leaves have to be dried up.  I had left it in a plate as it is and got dried up.  If you keep it for a week, it is enough to go ahead with the milagai podi recipe.

We use the leaves for making chaas, that is sambaram.  you have to crush the leaves with rock salt in your hand and then put in the butter milk and keep for sometime.  the flavour  in it is really appetising.  this leaf is part of Thai cuisine.
