Betel leaves Garcinia Cambogia Rasam (Vetrilai kudampuli Rasam)

When I watched this recipe in a television show, I thought of trying the same with kudampuli that makes the rasam even more healthy. Since both betel leaves and Garcinia Cambogia has lots and lots of health benefits it can also be named as a MEDICINAL RASAM. This kudampuli is very effective in treating gastric ulcers, weight reduction, anti inflammatory and anti diabetic properties. Betel leaves eases constipation, improves digestion, reduces gastric pains, treats respiratory problem, has antifungal properties. Check out my other RASAM RECIPES HERE.....
