Today morning when i woke up , my hubby is suffering from cold and cough. So i was thinking what can i make for lunch which can give him some relief. I asked him what he would like to eat for lunch and he suggested me to do something good for his throat. Then i remember my mom use to make Vamu charu in my childhood when we use to get cough. So i called up my mom and asked her the procedure she told me many things about Vamu. It is very popular in most of the South Indian dishes. Vamu in telugu, Ajwain in Hindi, Omam In Tamil, Oma in Kannada and Tymol Seeds in English Vamu is supposed to have many medicinal values associated with it. I remember as a child when my mom used to give some to swallow when I had cough and I would love the flavor of it in most of the hot items(chekkalu,janthikalu) that she used to make. So i prepared one out of it i.e.,Vamu Charu. It came out very well and my hubby enjoyed it too. So i just wanted to share that recipe with you all. Hope you enjoy it too...:)
