Uluva(methi/fenugreek seeds) Sharkaravaratti

This recipe is dedicated to all those breast feeding mothers out there.Fenugreek’s mechanism of action seems to be related to its’ propensity to increase sweat production. The simple truth is that, breasts are modified sweat glands. I prefered it over uluva kanji, uluva juice and uluva unda.
