SHIULI PATAR BORA/PARIJAT LEAVES PAKORA/BENEFITS OF PARIJAT LEAVES

 

Today I will discuss about the health benefits of parijat leaves .And an easy snacks recipe with parijat

 leaves. We are always fond of SHIULI FLOWERS. During Durga puja festival shiuli flowers are very

 common in our surroundings. Last year I plant a tiny parijat plant in our garden and it is now big tree

 and gives us beautiful Night flowering jasmine (another name of parijat flowers).

Shiuli flowers are known as SINGHAR in Hindi, PARIJAT in Sanskrit and NIGHT JASMINE in

 English.

But today my subject is parijat  leaves .

HEALTH BENEFITS OF PARIJAT LEAVES:

The leaves can be made into tonic which helps in working on joint pain, clogging.

Parijat leaves are great for immune system.

Shiuli leaves (parijat leaves) improve the function of insulin and so reduce the symptoms of diabetes.

Leaves are effective in treating cough.

Pastes of leaves with 1 tablespoon honey are useful for the treatment of high fever, high blood pressure.

One other process: boil parijat leaves with water and when water is reduced to ¼ of the initial quantity

 drink it hot and it will give relief in pain and swelling, helps in the treatment of osteoarthritis.

Parijat leaves give nourishment of hairs.

These leaves help in treatment of malaria.

Now I am sharing snacks with “PARIJAT LEAVES”

INGREDIENTS: SHIULI LEAVE/PARIJAT LEAVES: 5 TO 6 (THESE MUST BE FRESH)

CHICK PEA FLOUR: 100 GRAMS ,MUSTARD OIL: 1 BIG CUP

KALONGI (BLACK CUMIN SEED): 2 TEASPOONS

SALT TO TASTE.

PROCEDURE: Wash all parijat leaves properly and keep aside .Take a bowl and make a paste with

 chick pea flour .Use black cumin seeds ,mustard oil and salt in it for crispy pakoras. Rest the paste for

 ½ an hour for better result. The consistency of the ready batter neither so thick nor so thin. Cover each

 leaf with batter and fry in mustard oil. Don’t fry in high flame. It will burn pakoras. Keep patience at

 the time of frying pakoras.

Now our “SHIULI PATAR BORA/ PARIJAT LEAVES PAKORA “is ready to serve.

Take these pakoras with hot dal and rice. It’s really crispy and yummy.

THANK YOU.
