Ambali - An Elixir
Hello friends, welcome back today I am going to talk about Ambali which can be called as elixir for mankind.
What's Ambali ?
Ambali is fermented gruel (porridge) made from siridhanya.
Why Ambali, what is its benefits ?
Ambali has numerous benefits for mankind such as it helps to cure many diseases as it has good source of healthy microbes, which for many are low due to unhealthy lifestyle. Healthy gut microbes help body achieve many chemical reactions and provides enzymes to process important reactions hence making us healthy. Ambali helps us to maintain good amount of vitamin B12 which is most important for good immunity.
Vitamin B12 from vegetarian diet ?
Yes you read it right vitamin B12 from vegetarian source actually vitamin B12 is made from healthy microbes in gut, It's a myth that non veg food provides Vitamin B12 or high source of vitamin B12 , the reality is that vitamin B12 is made by microbes in your gut when they get proper food and fibre.
Procedure of making Ambali?
Here I am going to provide you simple steps how to make an ambali also I will provide video link below for the same.
Ambali can be made from any siridhanya, after washing the grains it should be soaked for 6-8 hrs in 5-6 cups of structured water for 1 cup of siridhanya , after that it should be cooked in an earthen pot on low flame for 15-20 mins by adding 5-6 cups of more water, after it cools down tie the earthen pot with clean khadi cloth and let it ferment based on the climate it may take 4-10 hrs. After fermentation you can have ambali with salt,sugar, pickles, any curry or vegetables of your choice.
Things to note:
- Use structured water for soaking and cooking.
- Soaking of siridhanya is a must for 6-8 hours.
- Do not add salt or any other ingredient while preparing , as it will kill the good bacteria and proper fermentation won't take place.
- Covering with khadi cloth is a must.
- Do not add curd while preparing else the Ambali will be dominated by lactobacillus
