Thick Gruel

विलेपी

Vilepi (also called Vilepi or thick gruel) is prepared with less water and more rice, resulting in a thick, paste-like consistency. It is heavier than Peya, more nourishing and strengthening. It is absorbent (Grahi) and beneficial in diarrhea and conditions with excessive fluid loss. It is unctuous, strength-giving, and particularly useful for those who need nourishment but cannot tolerate solid food.
