Preparation
Ingredients
Powder all the herbs coarsely and soak them for about 10 - 15 minutes in water. Using the same water, grind into a soft paste. Put this paste into a heavy- bottomed vessel (like an uruli or a stone vessel). Heat it on a slow fire by stirring it using a flat scoop. When it attains a paste- like consistency, add the powdered jaggery. Add the ghee slowly in small quantities. When the mix boils up and comes together into a constant jam- like consistency, put off the heat. When cooled add 50ml of honey. Store it in a glass bottle. Take one spoon of lehyam on Deepavali. It can also be taken before or after taking a heavy meal or before going to party.
