DODDAPATRE THAMBuLI

 Come summer .. thambli made from various ingredients is a must in our home . Thambli is a very traditional Karnataka dish which our grannys have been making from many years .

Yes in 10 mins you have a bowlful of comforting food to cool your soul Each has its unique flavor and benefits. I had earlier shared Ginger thambli and Brahmi thambli . Today it is ” Doddapatre Tambli ( Tambuli ) / Karpooravalli Raitha / Ajwain leaf cold soup ” .The heavenly aroma that comes out of your kitchen when you are roasting these leaves along with some cumin and pepper seeds… aah..

Doddapatre / sambarballi soppu is a plant with many medicinal properties. Its known as Ajwain (Hindi),Ova (Marathi), Panikoorka (Malayalam), Karpuravalli (Tamil) ,Vamu aaku ( telugu ) in various languages .
