We lived a simple life with a simple understanding of nature.Can we still just sigh and remember what happened then?
The night before, my father had told my mother that I had heard that the tubers on the land had fallen.So the next morning I also went to remove the yams. Dad was still working on the land.
In fact,Hulankiriya is a very popular dish among our grandparents.It's not only because of the taste of the potatoes but also because of the quality.
Hulankiriya is one of the most widely used herbs in our Hela medicine.The flour obtained from these potatoes is called 'Arukkan flour' in medicine.It is also used as an antidote for stomach ailments as well as cholesterol, obesity, seizures, heart ailments, fevers, coughs and skin ailments.If you find potatoes with such properties and bury them in the boundary of your home land, you will be able to enjoy the benefits of it in 7,8 months.It is easy for you as you do not need any care.So today I also boiled arrowroots for ours,made a delicious onion fry with the stuff I had sitting in and fed it to my dad with coconut.But not like at home.
Father with exhausted face came into the hut while the kola kanda(porridge) pot Is boiling on the stove.Sunshine is very strong outside.However the onion fry which I made is tasted by father with full of satisfaction.The reason that is usually he likes onion fry with adding some lemon juice. Meanwhile I kept a hot kola kanda cup on his hand then he blazed me as, “you may deserve to have more and more merits, daughter” then my compassion was overspilled towards my father.Then I realized the thoughts are very soft and mild with the people who struggle the earth.Next I too had a kanda cup and took some to my mother,then I reached there my pets were waiting on the doorstep expecting my coming. I usually keep several names to each pets,because I love them more and more.There are many names for the love❤
Because i came by walking a short distance I thought to have a drink made of bovitia.For that i also added some sugar, salt, and some ginger. Actuall ly it was very tasty.My were being attracted to the dark purple colour if the juice. But when lime is added, the purplish colour came to play hide and seek with us,making the purple to red..mother must be tired. I thought that I made the drink at the proper time
Ahhh….I forgot tell you that Hinbovitia leaves that have a very nutritious value to the body.These tiny blue violet coloured flowers fluttering all around the Bovitia trees are favourites of mine also it has already named as a southern provincial flower.They are use commonly in ayurvedic medicines too.Though the leaves are little bit sour.People are used to using it as a kanda and curry as well.I don’t have so far tested it Itself to recover diseases like Hepatitis,Haemophilia and dislike to eat food.
I would like to request from all of you please add these Kola kanda and local yams to your day to day life. Love to the nature. Enjoy the life.Feel free with this small life forever.
This is your amicable,
Poorna.❤️❤️
