Panakarkandu paal is a healthy drink. During my childhood days, whenever I get cold or sour throat, my dad prepares this for me. I like to watch while he is preparing this, with two tumblers making shh sound and the smell coming from that, tastes heavenly. Panangkarkandu have lots of medical benefits. It is one of the good remedy of chest cold. Palm sugar also boost the immune power, improves bowl moments and good for diabetes patients too. Turmeric and pepper are also good antibiotics. Taking this drink regularly gives better health benefits for longer term.
