Angaya podi recipe, Postpartum recipes

    Angaya podi recipe, with video and step by pictures. Angaya podi is a traditional recipe made using many healthy ingredients and an important one in postpartum delivery. I adapted this recipe from my athai and my friend's mother law too. This angaya podi can be consumed not only by newly delivered moms but also by anyone in the family. This healthy podi aids in digestion and also a  very good remedy for amebiasis as it has neem flower, sundakkai and manathakkali. I still remember my patti used to make this during the time my sister came to our house for delivery. I used to study in college and my mom and grandmother will force me to eat this angaya podi with rice weekly once. I hate this like anything and will shout at them and move away from that place. Even after i delivered my 2 kids i refused to eat this for more than a week. After making this i started liking it very much and now i am including a tsp of thsi angaya podi in my food daily.I have been receiving reader requests for this angaya podi but somehow i avoid due to the lack of availability of all the ingredients here in Singapore.
    Recently found all the ingredients here in Sri Murugan stores Singapore and ordered them and made this angaya podi. Sri Murugan stores has their mobile app and you can download in your Android or iOs phone to order your grocery. They have varieties  of Indian groceries and fresh Indian vegetables too available at reasonable price. The recently opened Sri Murugan Plus is my one stop shop for my monthly Grocery.
