Vilepi is a thick rice gruel or porridge — more nourishing than Peya but still light and easy to digest. It’s one of the traditional foods mentioned in Ayurvedic texts as part of a graduated diet, which restores digestion after fasting, illness, or cleansing therapies like Panchakarma.

Preparation:

1. Cook one part of rice with about 4-6 parts water.
2. Results in a thicker, porridge-like dish.

Benefits:

1. More nourishing than manda or peya.
2. Provides strength and satiety.
3. Recommended for people with mild hunger, convalescence, or weak digestion.
