In the same way cloves,cinnamon & pepper corns  works effectively against bacterial infection. Lemon & ginger also good to increase our immune system, today i am talking about immune system so not sharing other health benefits. Honey is anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-virus which helps in reducing weight when consumed it empty stomach with hot water. Coming to green tea -it builds metabolism, it burns extra fat, it is full of anti oxidants, by having it regularly we can reduce weight, yes we need also to proper work outs for good result :) . Do not boil green tea for long time, boil 1 or 2 minutes not longer than that. Finally adding elachi gives good flavor to tea, d't skip it.  I am not tea or coffee liking one, but green tea is one of my favorite. How to overcome this pandemic situation?? my personal opinion is - Not go out when we do not have work, wear mask and carry sanitizer always, and take proper food that increase your immunity system.  Hope this energy drink with 2 health benefits helps you to stay fit and strong.

Potlakaya pesarapappu kura || snake gourd moong dal curry || pudalangai pasi paruppu poriyal

Hi friends, today's recipe is snake gourd moong dal curry || snake gourd curry || potlakaya pesarapappu curry(in Telugu) || padavlkayi palya(in Kannada)|| pudalangai pasi paruppu poriyal (in Tamil) || Padwal curry (in Hindi). It is popular South Indian lentil based snake gourd curry.This snake gourd curry is prepared adding soaked moong dal(pesarapappu) and fresh coconut , ginger spice mixture. It is very delicious and healthy curry that you can have with hot steamed rice or even with roti's and also it is very easy to prepare. This is dry version curry, we can prepare many recipes with snake gourd like snake gourd chutney, bajji, kottu, eguru and my favorite is stuffed snake gourd 😋. This curry is prepared without using onion and garlic so we can have it on fasting days with roti's happily (No Onion No Garlic). Snake gourds which i used today are small type and they are very tender, so i did not boiled it separately.
