Homemade Methi Ajwain Kala Jeera Powder (Herbal Home Remedy for Digestion)
The Methi Ajwain Kala Jeera Powder is an age old family recipe that my mother used to give us to build immunity and help aid digestion.
And as I grew up and got married, I found this very same home remedy used by my mother in law, but she used to serve it along with warm water, while I used it have it along with buttermilk or curd rice.
Whichever way you choose to have it, the Methi Ajwain Kala Jeera Powder has numerous health benefits. It is said to help in normalizing bowel movement, help in keeping cholesterol, blood sugar levels and also effective in reducing joint pains.
Note: You can also add turmeric to this recipe to add to the nutritive value of the powder. You can navigate to this site and read more.
