Karporavalli( Cuban oregano ) Rasam



Karporavalli / omavalli , as this herb is called in tamilnadu. It was widely used in traditional medicines. This was used to treat cold in young childrens.
We can take the leaf as raw , but many won’t like the taste as well as smell. I came across this recipe in a blog . I tried this with my variation which I am sharing with you.
