Kandantippili rasam i wanted to post for a long time , but somehow i didn’t search for that in Singapore, but when my mom visited me last month bought this for me and i wanted to start a series of recipes which we used to give for moms after delivery , commonly called as Pathiya samayal in Tamil and Postpartum food in English. My athai used make this for me when i delivered my second kid Varun, and she used to tell this kandantippili rasam helps in digestion too. Now a days we generally do not follow pathiyam after delivery and in my case too when i deliverd my first child 12 years back my mom strictly followed pathiyam but for the second one after 4 years i never follow any strict pathiyam. This kandantippili i don’t know what is is the English term of this but you can get this easily in most of the small shops in chennai. I will be posting some Postpartum food which we generally follow at our house, more frequently here.
Before moving on to the post, thank you so much for trying out the Gokulashtami recipes and i am overwhelmed to see the mails . Thank you so much again.

Good one Jeyashri… I just came out from the pathiya saappadu..:-) But it would be good if we include those foods in our daily menu. I am planning to do so.. you know what? My family members tired of getting this kadathippili and after a small search, we got it in naatu marunthu kadai here in chennai.
