Angaya Podi

Angaya Podi is made from various ayurvedic, siddha related ingredients. It is the special podi given to new-mothers after their child birth. In South India, this powder is made fresh and mixed with rice and ghee and it is given as primary food once every week for the new-mother. This powder has medicinal qualities and believe to relieve all stomach related issues for the mother. Since she is breast feeding her child, this will also prevent the child from getting any stomach related issues. This is one of the main dish in the pathayam food menu.
