Karpuravalli Rasam Ajwain Leaves Dal Rasam

Karpuravalli Rasam Ajwain Leaves Dal Rasam

Karpuravalli Rasam , Ajwain (Oregano Leaves) with dal mixed soup is very good for digestion. Actually the Omavalli / Oregano leaf is a good natural remedy for cold and congestion. Most of the people have it at home and my mom say,

daily if we inhale it we attain a relief from cold. Last year I got a stem from my friend and it survived the whole winter in indoor and now since the weather is in 80 F, I plucked some and recently made rasam for my kids. You always don’t need to have fresh leaves to make this rasam, you can use dried oregano leaves too. The addition of cooked dal enhances the taste of this karpuravalli rasam so never make it optional.
