After you consumelots of heavy meal, this halwa is best for digestion. Specially when you are breast feeding, it is necessary to have a balanced meal. If you have anything different like chicken or potatoes or the food that form gas, it may cause gas and indigestion in babies. It may result in diarrhea and vomiting in babies.
It is essential to include ginger in your diet when breast feeding. Usually my mom will make ginger chutneyin the morning for me. Someday during dinner time she purees ginger and strain the juice and make me drink that. It is one of the most disgusting food which i ever had and sometimes it will make me vomit.
This halwa or legiyam recipe is handed to me by my aunt (perimma). It is the best way to consume ginger for a breast feeding mom. You can make this in bulk and store in fridge for a month. Many of you have been asking me to share post pregnancy recipes so i thought of sharing the food which i am having now.
