I don't know whether you heard about it or not.I am sure those who are from the village side of T.N was well known about this special kanchi.It has filled with medicinal qualities.Don't think it is like medicine.Its very sweet in taste.Uzuntham kanchi is a very good medicine for the cold.If you are having severe cold,drink this kanchi as hot in empty stomach for 2 or 3 days.It just chases away the cold.Try this once and you never leave it.
