तेमनतक्रनिर्माणविधिर्गुणाश्च Temana Buttermilk for vAta and burning sensation

There was a 20% off sale in exoticIndia art during Diwali and hence ended up buying around dozen books, two of which are yet to be delivered. This tiny booklet is one of its kind, however makes one spend hours in research, due to funny translation and too many typos.

Wish there was a word to word translation with colourful pictures of the ingredients used and the proportions to be used, and final cooked dish as well.

Wish god graces me with sanskrit understanding so that i don't have to spend in INR 50k+ in sanskrit translations of satvik purAnas and shAstras i want to imbibe.  This is going to be a work in progress post, till i get all ingredients and make it with help of my sanskrit knowing friends. Seriously miss my KV school sanskrit teachers.

My first pick is Temana buttermilk since it is for my vAta dosha nivaran.

Ingredients Used:

• Buttermilk (well churned and made from quality milk - जातितीलुलितं)
• Fragrant flowers 
• Sesame Oil
• Garlic
• Ginger
• Box myrtle leaves कुम्भीदलं | kaiphal  (wondering where to get it from)
• Dried ginger शुन्ठी | சுக்கு 
• Corriander leaves
• Sendha namak (Salt found in sindh region) | இந்துப்பு
• जम्बिर | citron | நார்த்தங்காய்
• रामठं | asafoetida
• मातुलुङ्गदलं | Citrus medica sidalai| leaves of bigger lemon 
• karpooram | camphor
• Deer musk | मृगनाभि
• केतक | screwpine

Make curd with quality milk which is consistent and well churned.
Soak fragrant flowers in buttermilk (तक्रं) for a muhurta (48 minutes)
What surprises me is putting citron in buttermilk and keeping that on fire.

Lesser Known ingredients:

Box myrtle कुम्भीदलं | Myrica nagi

While flowersofIndia says kaiphal is chavviyachimaram and google says it is marutham maram. And i know not both.

Citrus medica 

Mathulunga | Citrus medica

Musk
Deer musk rates are scary especially considering this link. Think due to mrugnAbhi, i have to find some dish which can be made without deer musk. or will make this without deer musk

Wish Yamadharma raja who blessed King Nala with cooking expertise and special taste to his preparations, blesses me as well to first procure the necessary ingredients and make it special as it is cooked.

Kevra
Mom once showed me thaazhampoo tree on the way. Have never seen it in gandhi market. Have to enquire.
