Dill and white onion twist to ancient Thali-peeth, a Maharashtrian Breakfast!

Indian medicinal foods in Ayurveda plays pivotal role in healing. The same foods with taste bud tickling flavors, add much more to healthy being. Here I am to present you Dill leaves (Sabbasige in kannada) and white onions in the famous Maharashtrian breakfast Thalipeeth (Savory rice flour pancakes).

Dill leaves seems to be diuretics. Well, the scientific term will be explained briefly... You can call it a WATER PILL, which enhances urine production and thus helps to remove toxins from your body (DETOXIFICATION)... Aren't they great? It maintains stomach acid balance and thus brings down ACIDITY... Oops, this aromatic herb fights with bacterial infections and brings down the disgusting body odors. 

White Onions are highly recommended for medicinal use... It brings down swelling, bleeding and inflammations. Normalizing digestion can relieve constipation too... I have used it extensively with honey for treating my own cough... Use of Onions in preparation of VAJIKARA DHRAVYA is another astonishing property of this very favorite cooking ingredient.
