Pathiya Samayal| Postpartum Diet| BM #13

Pathiya samayal is generally special cooking  for mothers after Delivery of a child.

Mainly only black pepper is used and green chilli and red chilli are avoided in most of the food for few days after delivery. This is followed to help the mother recover from her pregnancy and also to serve nutritious food to the baby. When i had a baby one year back, i followed some of them for few days.

Gastric vegetables and food are to be avoided for few months until we feed the baby.

It was really helpful to follow this rule after delivery.There are lot of recipes for pathiya samayal. I will be listing few of them.
