Brahmi/ ondelaga/ urigedadi tambuli
For summer brahmi tambuli with rice is a supercool option. Usually sweet tambuli is prepared but for a change this time I tried a different one. Blend cleaned brahmi or ondelaga leaves with stem with coconut, birds eye chilli , cumin and water. Add buttermilk and salt to get simple tambuli which goes well with rice on a hot summer afternoon. *For seasoning I have used pressed pure coconut oil ( I have stopped buying refined oil for the adverse effects on health) mustard , urad dal and cumin.
* both stem and leaves of brahmi are used.
* brahmi is known to be a nerotonic, booster of intellect and also soothens hoarse voice.
* rice in the pic is local rice which has retained the vitamins as it is not polished. Don't go for good looking white rice for your daily healthy meals. Opt for local nonpolished rice which is gut friendly, pocket friendly and also rich in nutrients.
* traditional way is sweet tambuli where little sugar is added while blending in stead of chilly.
