Vetrilai poondu sadam | betel leaves rice recipe | vethalai sadham

Vetrilai poondu sadham | betel leaves rice recipe | betel garlic rice or commonly known as vethalai sadam is very good medicinal rice for treating cold and cough. 

It is very common home remedy to use the combination of peppercorns, turmeric and betel leaves to treat cold. recently, I happen to taste this vetrilai sadham at a restaurant and found it seriously bland without any spice or salt. thought it could have been really very much better than that.

so immediately i tried out this recipe at home and my husband and kid were having cold at that time. I usually given him the karpooravalli kashayam

this time, i tried betel leaves rasam, betel leaves rice and it worked too. One of the best medicine to stop cough immediately is to mix honey, turmeric, pepper powder in hot water. mix thoroughly and strain it. when it is warm enough give the home made cough syrup to the kid above 1 year. Trust me, immediately it takes its action.
