One of the earliest instances of culinary improvisation by humans has to be wrapping food in leaves and steaming or roasting it. The leaves trap some steam and seal in the flavours, allowing the food to cook unhurried in mellow heat, steeping in its own juices. The results are fantastic.Here I am talking about banyan tree leaves. An authentic delicacy from Udupi Mangalore. rice dumplings steamed inside banyan tree leaves. This dish is a must during keddasa festival("festival of worshipping Mother Earth" ) in Tulu Nadu. Banyan leaf has powerful healing and anti-microbial properties and can be used for treating disorders like dysentery and chronic diarrhoea. A study concluded that the use of Ficus benghalensis as a dietary supplement can result in numerous health benefits.ಗೋಳಿ ಮರ ಇರೆತ್ತ ಅಡ್ಡೆ|Banyan Tree Leaf Gatti|Mangalore Gatti Recipe let's get social..follow me on:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kotianspassion/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kotianspass...Twitter: http://twitter.com/kotians_passionBlog: https://kotyankitchen.blogspot.in/Subscribe here:https://www.youtube.com/c/KotiansPassion?sub_confirmation=1?Subscribe here:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgnJzdpYKla04XNvXPYzt2Q?sub_confirmation=1?#mangaloregatti #gatti #tulunadu #kotianspassion
