(Picture Source - Shutterstock) In the last blog "Kokum benefits" , I have explained about kokum. It is one of the native Indian fruits. It is available in Western ghat of India. In this blog I will write about “How to use kokum?” Outlines – Adds flavour Raw fruit Kokum syrup Kokum water Kokum Sherbet Kokum butter   1.        -  Kokum adds flavour to Indian side dishes. The process to use – Separate the peels of Kokum from the pulp. The peel is thick and red in colour. The pulp can be used for other purposes and peel can be used as a spice.

Local foods #1 -  This article is to encourage each people (especially Indian people) to go with local foods and stay healthy. Local foods are available to us every day and throughout all the seasons. According to me local foods are the foods familiar with the specific locality.

Local food #9 – Ambadi - The stomach soother The picture is collected from - Shutterstock website When I first read this word “Ambadi”, It is a new word to me. It is a Marathi word, in English, it is known as roselle. It is more familiar to me when I found the Odia version. In Odia language, it is known as khata Palanga (google search). Still, I am not convinced of the Odia word. Comment whether you find it correct or incorrect! This is the food for our sustainable life and ecosystem. In other languages – Gongura in Telugu, Pulichakeerai in Tamil, Pitwaa in Hindi, Tenga mora in Assamese.   Locality – It is grown everywhere in India. The names are different but properties are the same. This green leafy vegetable is rich in folic acid. This is a great source of iron for anaemia patients. It has microorganism resistant properties. So, those tiny monsoon monsters (insects and microorganisms) cannot able to destroy this plant. It is very helpful to keep our gut microbes healthy....
