There are numerous advantages to using Ajwan Leaves, Omam Leaves, or Karpooravalli Leaves. Including in your daily diet will aid in the preparation of a well-balanced meal. At home, I have an Omam plant. I used to drink Omam water a lot, especially during the COVID-19 Pandemic (See Notes for how to make water).
My mother told me about this chutney recipe, which I was eager to try. This is ideal for idlis, dosas, and iddiyappam. This is also a very simple recipe that can be made with readily available ingredients.
