It’s an undeniable fact that most of us love that kadi patte ka tadka whether in sambhar, daal, curries, or poha. Curry leaves are an inseparable part of Indian cooking and a little dash of curry leaves can overturn the taste of any dish. While curry leaves give a nice flavour and aroma to the food it also has many health benefits.

The best part is that curry leaves are easily available across the country and starting the day with a shot of curry leaves drink can detox and shoot up your metabolism and helps kick-start the fat-burning process. This could also act as a sponge and flush out all toxins from your body.

However, if chewing on curry leaves first thing in the morning isn’t for you, then here are two different ways you can use curry leaves for weight loss: 

1. Curry leaves juice:

  • Take 20-30 curry leaves and a glass of water.
  • Put this on a blender and blend it for 30-40 seconds or till the leaves are properly chopped up and mixed.
  • Now strain this (if you want to) or have it as it is. You can also add mint leaves to give a refreshing flavour to it.

How it helps: Green juices are often preferred by health enthusiasts because they are loaded with antioxidants that boost immunity and aid in digestion thus speeding up metabolism. When you drink this right in the morning, your body gets chlorophyll which makes you feel active and energised. Consume this daily to see a difference in your belly fat.
