Veppalanggatti (Narthakku podi)
This powder is made from the leaves of Citron fruit tree. It is a variety of lemon. Some even say Narthangai in English would be Bitter orange, but I strongly believe it is Citron fruit tree, because that is what the botanical classification is named as. This powder is said to have medicinal properties. Very good for people with stomach upset, indigestion and bloating. It is also very easy to make. No cooking or chopping.
