What is Prasava legiyum?

After delivery new moms are asked to eat legiyum for better digestion, healing, and regaining health. It is also believed it boosts milk supply. I have used legiyum powder for making lehiyum. Some foods new moms consume might not be suitable for breastfeeding babies, lehiyum not only helps for mom’s digestion but also avoids digestion problems for newborns.

Why store-bought lehiyum powder?

For preparing Diwali marandhu I made everything from scratch. Diwali marandhu can also be served for new moms but prasava lehiyum has a lot of additional ingredients which make it more opt for postnatal care. Chyawanprash is also good for digestion. Here in the USA, we don't get many ingredients for preparing authentic prasava legiyum so instead of buying lehiyum I prefer buying the powder and making fresh homemade legiyum in batches

Where do we buy prasava legiyum powder?

My mother generally buys lehiyum powder from Dabba Chetty Shop, Mylapore, Chennai (not a sponsored post). It should be available  in  many  naatu marundhu Kadai |  ayurvedic shop

When is the best time to consume prasava lehiyum?

For good digestion eat legiyum early in the morning on an empty stomach. I also consume it a few minutes before consuming dinner . 2 times a day is recommended. Generally, Prasava lehiyum is offered to new moms  for around the first 3 months

How much sweetener should I add?

You can add 1:1 legiya powder to jaggery ratio but in our home, we prefer lehiyum with mixed flavors with a hint of spice so I add 2:1 legiya powder to jaggery

Can I store Legiyum at room temperature?

Yes, prasava lagiyum stays good for months at room temperature. Always use an airtight container and use a clean dry spoon. YOu can also refiregetae Lehiyum. I have never frozen legiyum.
