Every part of this plant is used in ayurvedic medicine - roots, leaves, seeds, skin of the fruit, etc. Normally we take this fruit in juice form. Try this thambuli with daalimbe/pomegranate skin:
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup Skin of daalimbe fruit - chopped
- 1/2 tsp. Cumin(Jeera) seeds
- 2-3 Green chilli
- 1/2 tsp. Ghee
- 1/2 cup Grated coconut
- 1/2 cup Curd
- Salt to taste
Garnish:
- 1/2 tsp. Coconut oil
- 1/2 tsp. Mustard
- Curry leaves (optional)
Method:
Fry the daalimbe peels, jeera and green chilli in ghee till the peel shrinks a bit. Grind this with coconut, in a mixer with some water (drinking water is better because we are not going to boil it again). After it becomes soft, add the curd and grind for a second. Pour in a vessel and add water till the thambuli is of dosa batter consistency. Garnish.
If you feel the thambuli is a bit bitter in taste, add 1/2 tsp. sugar and mix. Serve with rice or chapaathis.

This is such a wonder , never thought of using pomegranate skin like this . I have used the skin for medicinal purpose though.
A picture would have done wonders as i have never seen something like this:)
sangeetha: Welcome and thanks for the comment, Sangeetha!
I was not very familiar with recipe blogs in those days! Now, I know how easy the recipe would look, along with photoes.
When I make this thambuli next time, I will take pictures and add to this recipe!
