Crispus,
Elderlies say post delivery foods cannot be taken during pregnancy period. During pregnancy, our muscles change to be more elastic than other times to make baby birth easier. Taking these foods will strengthen our body muscles and nerves, that we need only after delivery.
In their words, it is "thandal urappikkum".. :)
Mom is happy to see your mail.. If you have more doubts write to me..
Best wishes..!
Hi Seena? How are you? Must be feelng good being with mom. Thanks for sharing this healthy juice.

ReplyDeletewow, i ve never heard of denugreek drink, sounds so healthy and great. Do you use seeeds or dried leaves? or fresh? I am confused which part goes there.
ReplyDeleteZlamushka,
ReplyDeleteyeah, definitely they are seeds I used for making juice..

thanks for inviting blog event, not sure I can participate, will try my best.. Hope to see you again..
:)
Glad to know about this recipe.
ReplyDeleteCan we use the powdered coconut milk in place of fresh?
In Chennai I remember soaking the fenugreek seeds in water and simply drinking this water in the heat of the midday when we had to go out and it helped cool the body.
Dear Jennifer,
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting..
we too drink the water in which fenugreek is soaked to avoid heat..
For this drink, better use fresh coconut milk.
If you like the taste of powdered coconut milk you can use it. Here we don't boil it..
Keep visiting , try out and let me know.. :)
oh, thanks for reminding me. Seeds, eh? Wow, it might be a bit bitter... anyhow, I bookmarked it, so i can make it soon and figure out the bitterness myself.
