Steps to Prepare
We are going to prepare Kashayam for just 1 person – so we are going to use just 1 betel leaf and other ingredients accordingly. If we are going to prepare for more people, than the ingredients will vary accordingly.
(1) Place 2 litres pan on the big burner. Turn on the flame and keep it in HIGH mode.
(2) Pour in 500 ml of water.
(3) Put a medium sized betel leaf (no need to cut the leaf) into water.
(4) Then, add the below to the pan –
- Cinnamon – 1
- Cloves – 5
- Cardamom – 1 (break it and then add)
- Cumin – ¼ tablespoon
- Pepper – 15 (black pepper)
- Ginger – 1 inch (peel and then crush a little using a stone and then add)
- Dried ginger – 1 inch (crush it a little using stone and then add)
- Palm candy – 1 tablespoon
Cinnamon – helps to burn the fat in our blood
Cloves and cardamom – help to stop spreading of cold
Ginger – helps to prevent catching cold and also helps to cure cold.
(5) After adding all the above ingredients, turn the flame to LOW mode.
Let the water boil for another 15 minutes in LOW flame.
After 15 minutes, turn OFF the flame. Let the water and ingredients stay for another 2 or 3 minutes.
(6) Use a filter and pour the kashayam into a cup – now it’s ready to drink.
