Manathakkali Vathal Kuzhambu | No Coconut Recipe

manathakkali vathal kuzhambu

Manathakkali Vathal is really good for treating peptic ulcer. It has bitter taste. But it has a lot of medicinal benefits. Vathal kuzhambu is one of the best options we have. If had with curd rice, the taste is divine. Diet never means a saltless, no-spice food. If we include the spices in right quantity only our digestion process will be normal and it aids proper weight loss. The recipe is just another thing which we follow in our home regularly. Sometimes if we don't have coconut also we make this dish, as it does not need coconut. I remember my mom giving it to me during the days I stayed in college hostel. Even without storing in fridge, it remained fresh for more than a week.

When I followed a diet which just had corn flakes, wheat bread and salads, my mom used to tell me that it will affect digestion. Later, I understood the thing and started including regular regional foods in my diet. In fact, it only helped me to achieve a healthy and sustainable weight loss. Just to explain the health benefits along with the recipe, I started explaining these kind of recipes in this blog.
