METHI AJWAIN KALA JEERA POWDER

Methi ajwain kala jeera powder is an age old family medicinal value powder which my grandmother used to make.  we can add dry ginger powder also in it which helps in digestion.  Apart from this, it also helps in bowel movement, keeping cholesterol and blood sugar levels under control and also effective in reducing joint pains.

There is a need always that an elderly person should be at home to remind you about all these valuable information and recipes to revive.  Now a days in the busy life, we always run to the doctor and whatever the medicines they give, consume it without realising the side effect of it.

This powder should be consumed with warm water.  You can also mix it with butter milk or  a handful of rice with ghee and bit salt, mix it and eat it.

One of my friend who also suggested me to consume this to get relief from  my back and knee pain as she is benefitted with this powder.  hence I am sharing with you all the Patti Vaidyam (grandma's treatment) so that you all can also be benefitted with it.



Ingredients:

100 methi seeds
 40 gms ajwain
 20 gms kala jeera



Method:

dry roast all the ingredients in an iron kadai separately.  allow to cool and grind to a fine powder in the mixer.  store it in an airtight container.  before going to bed, take one teaspoonful of powder put it in your mouth and start drinking the hot water. (one cup).

or alternatively, you can mix the same with little hot water, consume that first and then drink one cup of hot water.
