Narthangai oorugai is one of my favourite oorugai which my mother makes at home. It has a very strong sour taste and the skin of the citron is thick green in colour. It removes impurities from the blood and cleanses the blood. It is also good for your stomach too as they help to heal your stomach ulcer. It also reduces body heat and energizes our body.
I am sharing the recipe of Narthangai Oorugai which I made today.

Instead of the names in all the different Indian languages if there’s a picture of the lemon/citron/lime it would be more helpful.
