The Current State of Coriander Farming in Kenya

Coriander, also known as dhania in Kenya, is a popular herb cherished for its unique flavor and aroma. It’s a staple ingredient in many Kenyan dishes, featuring prominently in stews and the refreshing kachumbari salad. But coriander’s significance goes beyond the kitchen. In recent years, coriander farming in Kenya has emerged as a promising avenue for both domestic consumption and international…

ORGANIC SPICES

[serpentface]

hello i would love to hear about culturally specific dishes in the blightseed setting. what do the animals taste like hows their fat content... herbs and seasonings and the trades involved perhaps..... hows the salt economy? love your setting and if you have a list of ingredients i will invent meals in my head and be well satisfied... i just love food and cooking in world building it is so important to me :-)

OK this is crazy because I had literally just cooked a Lore Friendly Meal the night before I got this ask.

Since this is a super broad question gonna default to Imperial Wardin since that's what I'm writing in right now and has the most developed food economy. (Sorry.)

This region currently dominates the eastern Inner Seas tradeway so has a very broad access to imported foods and spices, and many of its staples are not originally native to the region. Its regional cuisine is quite diverse and varied, largely owing to its status in the tradeway and a long history of immigration to the region (as well as a wide variety of native regional variations in diet).

For simplicity's sake I'm mostly going to stick to staples that are grown in-region (whether native or not) or commonly imported. Also mostly sticking to domesticated plant life, or very common and easily acquired wild plants. (Also not all these plants/herbs/spices would be 1:1 with real-world equivalents, or would be of unique variants that don't exist irl, but if they're basically the same thing I use the IRL word)

Staple base foods: maize, barley, wheat, and rice (closer to O. glaberrima than O. sativa), red yam (a yam regarded as very delicious), white yam (a hardier but poorer tasting yam, often associated with poverty), cassava, chickpeas, other legumes.

Staple vegetables (regionally varies): Cabbage, lettuce, okra, onions, garlic, chili peppers, celery, peas, kolis (a drought tolerant, cactus-like plant. Young stems are tender and edible), camiche (a tree that produces edible seedpods and young leaves).

Staple fruits: Dates, figs, pomegranates, olives, melons, apples, bitter cherries, kolis fruit, nara (a type of citrus, comparable in flavor and sourness to lime).

Widely used spices/herbs/flavorings: cumin, saffron (VERY expensive but natively grown), coriander, culantro, thyme, fennel, sage, tumeric, cardamom, ginger, firebug (an insect that is dried and crushed, provides a reddish hue and slight acidic flavor), anuje (a tree sap which is the region's most popular sweetener).

Livestock: cattle, horses (the small 3 hooved kind), hogs, ducks, geese, one domesticated species of gazelle, some camelops (rare in this region, imported), one type of small domesticated lacetor, several types of fowl.

Other meat (common wild game, or livestock raised in smaller or more localized capacities): crocodiles, gazelles, aurochs, salutachin (a meat dog breed), doves, nechoi, lacetor, hippegalga, anara (a large semi-aquatic rodent), hespiornis, unkata (a large flightless bird), ibis, pheasants, rabbits and hares, caviar ants.

(Of the fantasy game, most nechoi have a strong, lean gamey meat, but an-nechoi is fattier and milder. Lacetor is generally mild and tough (with a few very fatty cuts) and benefits from slow cooking and heavy spices. Hippegalga is lean and mildly gamey and has a nutty quality. Anara tastes like wild rabbit, but slightly fattier. Unkata kind of just tastes like turkey.)

Alcohol: Wine is very important and is consumed (mostly watered down) on a daily basis. Date wine is most common and least expensive by far; only small parts of the region are ideal for viniculture and grape wine is somewhat uncommon. Other fruit wines are common (bitter cherry and kolis fruit being most popular). A very strong liquor is produced from anuje sap, with sweeter and lower ABV versions available as a kind of dessert wine. Grain-based beers and liquors are widely available, but not as prized as fruit/anuje drinks. Mead is somewhat rare and is mostly seen as inferior to anuje.

Salt economy: this region is a dominant player in the salt trade, having a large area of salt flats and marshes in its south. Salt is widely accessible throughout the region via internal trade routes.

Fishing: The region has a huge fishing industry along its coasts and the diet in the coastal cities is enriched with seafood. Pretty much any edible sea life is eaten. (Dozens of fish species, octopus, squid, clams, urchins, oysters, scallops, crabs, lobster, shrimp, etc etc). The tiny, schooling larval form of yotici are also sometimes eaten.

There's also a 'whaling' industry for leviathans, which have very rich, blubbery meat high in iron (I guess I'd describe it as a fattier, stronger, bloodier version of alligator meat), and uhrwal, which have very tough, gamey meat and are considered an acquired taste, used specifically for delicacy dishes.

Misc lore:

Arthropods are not widely eaten in the region and have stigma as peasant or famine food. Some local exceptions are made for locusts, and the eggs of caviar ants (there is a very small industry of ant farming in Ephennos, brought by White Sea qilik immigrants).

Dogs have been used for meat in this region for hundreds of years (largely in the form of the salutachin, a breed specifically developed for meat), but the practice declined under the 3rd Burri empire (in which context it was seen as an 'unclean' food). Cultural trauma from feral dogs eating the dead (and in turn being eaten by starving civilians) during a siege-induced famine has made it specifically taboo in Godsmouth. Dog is now widely considered a famine/poverty food in most of the region, though corn-fed salutachin is still a delicacy in the city-state of Wardin.

Animals that eat human flesh are taboo to consume in most parts of the region (whether this extends to all/most predators or just obligate scavengers varies).

Eggs of skimmer gulls and ibis are considered delicacies.

The basic diet varies across the region, but a huge proportion of the established cuisine revolves around cumin, onions, and peppers for flavoring.

The majority of the diet for an average person is built on savory grain porridge and mashed legumes.

Dairy products are important to the everyday diet in the eastern 'dairy belt' of the region, but are of lesser significance elsewhere. Horsemilk and cow's milk are both common.

Maize is usually consumed after nixtamalization for greater nutritional content.

Most people (especially in the cities) do not eat meat on a regular basis, as even for self-sustaining farmers and herders, the value of livestock for milk, textiles, labor, sacrifice, and trade means that frequent slaughter is often unsustainable. Most get their everyday protein needs met with legumes, and those in coastal cities have broad access to seafood.

Animal sacrifice is vitally important to the practice of the Imperial Wardi faith, but the meat of sacrifices is not eaten (outside of a few specific rites and festivals) and is instead burned.

Khaitmeat is rarely eaten outside of desperation (or opportunistic slaughter of old/injured animals) due to their great value and a developed taboo around its consumption in some parts of the region.

Hunting is a pastime for the urban upper class and typically forbidden within the territories of the city-states without an expensive 'license' (unless one one's own lands, which also generally requires having big money). Poaching for meat in the outskirts of cities is common among the urban poor.

Hunting is a key part of the diet throughout the rural parts of the region, many rural commoners eat meat more frequently than their urban counterparts on this merit.

Some established dishes (either vaguely conceptualized, or have come up specifically in writing):

Pounded white yam and nothing else (a famine food).

Pounded white yam with whitefish and pepper soup, a hearty common meal in Godsmouth.

Savory cornmeal cakes (cornmeal cooked in vegetable broth, lard or olive oil, peppers, onions, cumin, salt, cheese, wrapped in a corn husk and cooled to be eaten on the go).

Shitty cornmeal cakes (a famine food) (cornmeal with weevils in it, you can't really get the weevils out and it's protein so might as well, salted and cooked in water).

Grain festival beef/horse stew (tough bone-in cuts slowcooked with peppers, onion, garlic, and any other available vegetables. Usually heavily spiced. The resulting broth is used to cook the grain (usually hominy, rice, or barley), the meat and vegetables are served on top, sometimes with cream or cheese).

Hominy porridge with milk and sprinkled cheese.

Wheat porridge with dried dates and anuje.

Reed duck boiled in date wine, flavored with peppers, coriander, cumin, and saffron (VERY fancy).

Pickled kolis stem bulbs.

Fermented kolis stem bulbs and cabbage.

Gannegal soup (made with bull penis, hominy, garlic, onion, cabbage, and chickpeas in a spicy broth, supposed to support fertility)

Raw hippegalga meat, thinly sliced with onion and hot pepper, all marinated and cured with nara and eaten cold atop barley or rice (also supposed to support fertility)

Anaebi soup (made with reed duck, lily bulbs, rice, and okra, supposed to support a healthy pregnancy)

Cow tripe and cabbage soup

Finely chopped meat/fish/shellfish or vegetables with onions, wrapped in dough and fried or baked.

Peledyo (A strong, heavily fermented fish sauce favored in the coastal cities (this is pretty much a garum ripoff), which is mixed with wine, vinegar, honey, etc to form the base of other sauces)

Very spicy shellfish soup with a peledyo, wine, and pepper broth.

Caviar ant eggs marinated with nara, vinegar, chopped onions and cabbage, mixed with rice.

A sweetened bean porridge made with cream and anuje.

Hummus-esque spread made with chickpeas, garlic, onion, peppers, and olive oil, usually eaten with bread.

Whole spitroasted horse

A type of root vegetable sausage (intestine casing stuffed with mashed cassava or yam, onions, garlic & cumin seeds which have been cooked down in lard, sometimes with minced meat/offal. Boiled all together.)

Blood sausage (usually horse or cattle)

A kind of donut fried in oil and then soaked in anuje and fruit syrup.

Roasted peppers and onions sauteed in heavy cream, usually served atop grain or a grain porridge.

Toasted locusts, locusts fried with rice or barley, pounded white yam stuffed with fried locust and onions (opportunistic meals during locust plagues)

Fried sprats with pepper and onion sauce

Crab stock soup with onions, peppers, crab meat or whole softshell crabs, and crab roe (sometimes with cream)

Squid ink soups (variety of seafood or seafood-stock soups, blackened by squid ink)

A simple 'trail mix' made with dried camiche seeds and hominy

Dessert bread glazed with fruit syrup or anuje, covered in dried dates

Raw minced lacetor with peledyo, garlic powder, cardamom, coriander. Used to top grains or to be eaten with pounded yam.

Thinly sliced uhrwal flank simmered with date wine and vinegar.

Fatty cuts of an-nechoi belly, usually slow cooked and eaten in soups.

Minced kolis stalk, onion, and pepper, salted and marinated with nara or vinegar

Roasted figs with cheese

Also here's the lore friendly meal I cooked, the grain festival beef stew. Here served in only the lore friendliest of dollar store paper bowls

This specific dish is eaten as a part of yearly grain festivals celebrating the end of the harvest. In most contexts it's an agricultural community event with each family contributing whatever vegetables and spices are on hand, and each donating some of their harvested grain. It's cooked in a huge pot and usually serves dozens of people.

The exact vegetable/herb/spice components would vary wildly within the region, timing, and by the success of the various harvests, but will generally be farmed (rather than foraged) due to the nature of the festival as an agricultural celebration and thanks-giving. Cumin, peppers, and onions are considered the absolute bare minimum necessity. The grain will usually be maize, barley or rice, and may be mashed into a savory porridge instead of eaten whole.

This will usually be one of few times a year where meat is eaten in abundance in the agricultural context. The meat is almost always beef or horse, usually tougher bone-in cuts are chosen for this specific dish. These animals will have been slaughtered specifically for this festival, with the best cut of meat from each being burnt in an offering of gratitude to Ganmache and Anaemache (ox-face and river-face of God, both of which are associated with agriculture and harvests), at the base of what will become the cooking fire.

The meat and vegetables are cooked on low heat in water until the meat is soft and tender and a broth is formed (which should be very strong and spicy, as it will be used to flavor the grain). Some of the broth is drained and used to cook the grain, which is then served with the meat, vegetables, and a few spoonfuls of broth on top. In the eastern dairy belt, milk/cream may be added to the broth, and/or it may be topped with crumbled cheese or sour cream. This is next to heresy in the west.

---

For my easily accessible grocery store equivalent, I used a beef shank, 2 onions, 2 jalepeños, one habanero, a bunch of garlic, okra, and cabbage. Seasoned with cumin seeds and tumeric (very lore friendly) and a sazon packet because I had it (most of the spices involved are at least passably lore friendly). Also jasmine rice (not lore friendly but it's what I had).

I first toasted cumin seeds in olive oil, then added the vegetables and stirred until they were cooked down. The meat and vegetables/spices were cooked in water on low heat for ~5 hours and seasoned to taste. Some of the broth was then removed to cook the rice. Meat + vegetables are spooned on top of the rice, along with some broth.

Results: It's preddy good. Might be a little better with roasted or sauteed rather than heavily cooked down vegetables, but the latter is how it would be eaten. I also had a sore throat at the time and ended up just drinking the rest of the broth. It felt amazing. 6.5/10.

hihi! I absolutely love ur hcs and fics!! (I may or may not have downloaded Tumblr just from your fics on AO3 👉👈)

anyways- I wanted to ask if you have any hcs for unlikely friendships among the ghouls? Like maybe Lyca and Mido would get along well, or Leo and Rui?

also do you have any hcs for Towa's flower nicknames for the other ghouls? (Like how he calls MC "dandelion", Edward "Rafflesia", etc)

OH MY GOD??????????? this is literally the sweetest ask I have ever gotten seriously seriously thank you so much for liking my fics AND DOWNLOADING TUMBLR BECAUSE OF THEM??? OMG 😭 THIS IS SURREAL...... I hope we get to interact a lot more here now!!!! >:3

Now now about your request, it's actually something I've never thought about!!

Off the top of my head, I think these are some good friends:

Haru and Tohma: two tired men who work a lot and bond because of their exhaustion 🤝 Haru could go to the vault whenever he is suffering from heat exhaustion after spending too much time under the sun and Tohma could take his walks around Jabberwock’s fields! Mutual benefits!

Lyca, Kaito and Luca: @ghoulspaw had the great idea that Kaito and Luca would be the best boys to play with Lyca >:3 and I think they'd be quite understanding (Kaito would take a while to warm up to him because he's a wuss) and Luca could help Lyca with his studies!!!

Alan and Lyca: I promise not all of them will involve Lyca. But I JUST KNOW Lyca would be :O!!!!!! after seeing Alan and how strong he is. Cue new sparring buddy for Alan!!!!

Kaito and Sho: I think this is either a bit canon or someone else already had a headcanon??? But Kaito bakes sweets I think?? AM I THINKING OF A FIC I READ???? But anyway, Sho and him could exchange recipes! Leo would hate it though because he hates Kaito but That's Not About Him.

Ed and Zenji: come on. You can't tell me Ed doesn't see ghosts. Zenji would be more than happy to watch youtube with Ed and would force him to like every video he posts AND subscribe. And hit the bell.

Ren and Kaito: they would be that meme that's a bunch of ppl thinking "wow these people are a bunch of freaks! I'm the only normal one here." Except they would think "wow this guy is a loser. Thank goodness I'm not like that!" In the end, they are both losers and Ren will worsen Kaito's gambling addiction by introducing him to a bunch of gacha games.

Okay if you have more ideas please let me know because this was actually so much fun LMAO

Regarding Towa's nicknames, I genuinely think that him nicknaming people comes from a place of disdain. Like, his nicknames aren't necessarily based on the language of flowers. Sometimes, he just associates the characteristic of the plant with the character's personalities.

Edward is Rafflesia because rafflesia is the corpse flower, which smells rotten and like dead bodies. Ren is Wolfsbane because it's extremely poisonous, even to the touch. PC is Dandelion because it's a weed and it's weak, and Towa made it very clear that he thinks PC is cute because she's weak.

I don't actually know why Kaito is Coriander, but given that some people are born with the genes that make coriander taste like soap, maybe it's a nod to the fact that not everyone likes him (since he's not very well liked in Frostheim)???? Genuinely have no idea

As for Zenji, I imagine Towa associated him with Iris based on one of the flower's meaning, which is "bearer of messages and a symbol of deep sentiments" which... fits Zenji, his role in Hotarubi and his love for his baby brother quite well.

And I THINK that he doesn't refer to Haru as a flower/herb because he genuinely likes and respects Haru (unlike Ren and Ed) and doesn't think of him as someone weak and pathetic (unlike PC and Kaito).

SO.......... KNOWING ALL THAT...... now let's get into the name ideas *rubs hands* not all of them will be associated with the flower's meanings btw!!

Alan: anthurium! It's the strongest flower >:)

Sho: basil or thyme merely because of how useful they are in cuisine hehe

Taiga: with how much Taiga raids Jabberwock, Towa probably already got a nickname for him, but if it was me, I'd say petunia because one of its meanings is trouble and he's always causing Haru trouble.

Romeo: mandrake. Because he screams a lot LMAO and mandrake is that root that, in myths, people say screams when you uproot it.

Haku: lotus!!! One of its meanings is mystery and I think it fits him since he's allllll mysterious

Subaru: wisteria, I can't associate him with any other flower 😭

Lyca: lupine, for obvious reasons. It's a legume and it means wolf!!!!

Jiro: okay this name is UGLY but: rhododendron. It's means "beware" in Victorian flower language!

I genuinely didn't have any other ideas for the other ghouls so if you think of any, tell meeeeeeeee this was such a fun ask I love these types of requests!!!!

ALSO THANK YOU FOR JOINING TUMBLR AGAIN........ STILL CANT BELIEVE IT 😭

カレー粉 / Kare ko (Japanese curry powder)

Kare ko is a spice blend that spread to Japan in the late Meiji era as a result of British imperialism. The blend (like curry powder in general) originates from a British approximation of a range of South Asian spice profiles. Domestic manufacture and sale of kare ko began in 1905 with Hachi; S&B, who began production in 1923, currently hold the major market share.

Kare ko is adapted to Japanese tastes, and is usually not very spicy. It is dominated by coriander, turmeric, and cumin, but also contains spices such as fenugreek, cardamom, clove, and star anise, as well as dried herbs including sage and dill. Popular comfort dish kare raisu ("curry rice," a pairing of rice and a curried stew featuring carrots and potatoes), uses kare ko as its primary source of flavor; kare ko is also used to make curry ramen and curry udon.

The benefit of making this spice blend at home is in its freshness and its customizability—play around with the proportions of different spices until you get something you like!

Recipe under the cut.

Patreon | Tip jar

Ingredients:

1 Tbsp (3.5g) coriander seeds

1 tsp (2.6g) turmeric

1 tsp (2.5g) cumin seeds

5-6 pods (1/2 tsp; 1g) green cardamom

1 tsp freshly ground nutmeg, or 1/2 tsp pre-ground (.6g)

1/2 tsp (2g) fenugreek seeds

1/2 tsp (.7g) ground ginger

1/2 tsp (1.3g) ground garlic

1/2 tsp (1.5g) yellow mustard seeds

1/2 tsp (1g) fennel seeds

1 cm piece (1/4 tsp; .7g) cassia cinnamon

1/2 tsp (1.3g) black pepper

1/2 tsp (1.2g) paprika

1/2 tsp (1.2g) cayenne pepper (optional)

4-5 (1/4 tsp; .5g) whole cloves

2-3 (1/4 tsp; .5g) allspice berries

2 Mediterranean bay leaves (laurel)

1 star anise pod (2g)

1 tsp chen pi (dried tangerine or mandarin orange peel) (1.2g)

1/4 tsp (.2g) dried thyme

1/4 tsp (.2g) dried sage

1/4 tsp (.2g) dried dill

Pinch MSG (optional)

Pinch asafoetida (hing; optional)

Chen pi is commonly used in Chinese and Japanese cooking and can be purchased at an East Asian grocery store.

Though Japanese curry powder is ultimately drawing from South Asian cuisine, recipes for it tend to call for Mediterranean bay leaves rather than Indian bay leaves (tej patta; really a type of cinnamon leaf).

1. In a dry skillet on medium, toast large whole spices (cinnamon, star anise, green cardamom, cloves, allspice) for a few minutes until fragrant and set aside. Repeat with smaller seeds (coriander, cumin, fenugreek, mustard, and fennel) and bay leaf. Set aside and allow to cool.

2. Remove skillet from heat. Toast ground spices and dried herbs, stirring constantly, for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Remove from skillet.

3. Grind all spices and herbs in a spice mill or mortar and pestle and strain through a fine mesh sieve. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.

It's funny how a lot of savory foods can benefit from cardamom and no one ever adds it.

Mushrooms? 100% need cardamom. Personally I just fry them with cardamom, chili and sesame oil/sesame seeds and add to rice noodles, it's my "ready under 15 minutes" food. Works in soups and sauces too (just don't add thyme in that case).

White fish. Coriander seeds+cardamom+garlic is the perfect seasoning, imo. Or cardamom overdose+ginger powder+sambal mixed into coconut milk (I can sing odes to white fish cooked in coconut milk).

Most kinds of meat too (anywhere you would add a mix of peppers without adding herbs). Works great in marinades.

I'm always so surprised it's considered a sweet spice. It's so versatile.

How Tandoor Enhances the Flavours of Indian Cuisine

Tandoor cooking is an ancient technique that plays a pivotal role in enhancing the flavours of Indian cuisine. The tandoor, a traditional clay oven, imparts a distinct smoky aroma and depth to dishes, elevating them with unique textures and rich tastes. This cooking method has been an integral part of Indian culinary traditions for centuries, offering an unmatched experience to food lovers. In this article, we will explore how the tandoor enhances the flavours of Indian food and the various ways this cooking method is utilised.

The Magic of the Tandoor

The tandoor is a cylindrical clay oven, traditionally fired by wood or charcoal, which reaches temperatures of up to 800°F (425°C). This extreme heat is the key to creating the crispy, smokey texture that defines many of India’s beloved dishes. The intense heat also seals in moisture, making meats juicier and vegetables more flavourful.

The Intensity of Heat

The high temperature of the tandoor allows food to cook quickly, forming a charred exterior while keeping the inside tender and moist. This is particularly true for meats like chicken, lamb, and fish, which benefit from the dry heat that locks in their natural juices. The searing heat also caramelises the sugars in the ingredients, bringing out a deep, rich flavour that can't be replicated using conventional cooking methods.

Infusing a Smoky Aroma

One of the signature features of tandoor-cooked food is the smokey aroma that wafts through the air. The intense heat causes the wood or charcoal to produce smoke, which infuses the food with a subtle smokiness. This is especially noticeable in dishes such as tandoori chicken, where the smoky flavour is an essential part of the dish's appeal. The combination of smoky flavours with the spices used in Indian cuisine creates a unique and memorable culinary experience.

Tandoor and Marination: A Perfect Partnership

To fully appreciate the flavour-enhancing effects of the tandoor, it’s important to understand the marination process that often precedes it. Marinating the food, especially meats, with a blend of spices and yoghurt ensures the flavours penetrate deeply into the ingredients, allowing the tandoor’s heat to work its magic.

Tenderising Meats

Yoghurt-based marinades are particularly effective in tenderising meats. The acidity in yoghurt helps break down the proteins in meat, making them more tender while absorbing the complex mix of spices. When these marinated meats are placed into the tandoor, the intense heat seals the marinade in, creating a burst of flavours with every bite. The combination of tenderisation and high-heat cooking ensures a juicy, flavourful result.

Spices and Herbs Roasting in the Tandoor

Indian cuisine is known for its intricate use of spices and herbs. The dry heat of the tandoor allows these spices to roast, intensifying their flavours and bringing out a natural sweetness. Ingredients like cumin, coriander, garlic, ginger, and garam masala take on a deeper, more complex taste when cooked in the tandoor. The aroma of these spices blends harmoniously with the smokiness, resulting in a perfectly balanced dish.

Vegetables and Tandoor: A Unique Experience

While the tandoor is most commonly associated with meat dishes, it also has a significant impact on vegetables. The high heat of the tandoor caramelises the natural sugars in vegetables like potatoes, cauliflower, and paneer (Indian cottage cheese), enhancing their sweetness and depth of flavour.

Charred and Caramelised Vegetables

Vegetables cooked in the tandoor develop a beautifully charred exterior, which contrasts with the soft, tender interior. This charred texture adds a delightful crunch to the vegetables, elevating them beyond simple sautéed or boiled vegetables. Tandoori vegetables, such as cauliflower or eggplant, offer a smoky, earthy flavour that cannot be replicated using other methods.

A Perfect Vegetarian Option

For vegetarians, the tandoor offers an incredible variety of dishes that are both delicious and satisfying. Dishes like tandoori paneer, stuffed mushrooms, and mixed vegetable skewers are cooked to perfection in the tandoor, allowing the vegetables to absorb the spices and smoky flavour, creating a unique and flavourful dining experience.

The Role of Tandoor in Indian Breads

Indian breads, such as naan, roti, and paratha, are traditionally cooked in the tandoor, where they puff up and develop a deliciously crispy outer layer while remaining soft and airy inside.

Naan and Tandoor: The Perfect Combination

Naan bread, one of the most popular Indian breads, is a classic example of tandoor cooking at its best. The dough is slapped against the inner walls of the tandoor, where it bakes quickly, forming a beautiful golden-brown crust with a soft and fluffy interior. The high heat of the tandoor helps naan achieve its signature texture – crispy on the outside while remaining tender on the inside.

Other Flatbreads in the Tandoor

Other types of Indian flatbreads, such as roti and paratha, also benefit from the tandoor's heat. The tandoor’s dry heat creates the perfect environment for these breads to puff up and form a light, airy texture that is not possible with other cooking methods.

The tandoor is a crucial element in Indian cuisine, offering a unique way to prepare food that enhances the flavours and textures of various ingredients. The combination of intense heat, smoky aromas, and the ability to seal in flavours creates a truly exceptional culinary experience. Whether it’s marinated meats, roasted vegetables, or freshly baked naan, cooking in the tandoor adds an unforgettable layer of flavour to Indian food. By understanding the tandoor’s role in Indian cooking, food lovers can fully appreciate the depth and richness that this ancient technique brings to the table.

10 Ayurvedic Remedies for Gas and Bloating: Natural Solutions for Relief

Gas and bloating are common digestive issues that many people experience. Whether caused by poor eating habits, stress, or underlying conditions, these discomforts can significantly affect your daily life. Fortunately, Ayurvedic medicine offers a wealth of natural remedies to soothe and balance your digestive system. If you're seeking relief from gas and acidity, here are 10 effective Ayurvedic remedies that can help:

1. Triphala

Triphala, a combination of three fruits—Amalaki, Bibhitaki, and Haritaki—is a powerful Ayurvedic remedy that aids digestion and relieves bloating. It helps to regulate bowel movements, reduce gas formation, and alleviate acidity. You can take Triphala powder with warm water after meals for optimal results.

2. Ginger

Ginger is known for its digestive benefits. It helps in stimulating the production of digestive enzymes, thereby easing bloating and gas. To use ginger, you can sip ginger tea or chew on a small piece of fresh ginger before or after meals to prevent gas buildup.

3. Fennel Seeds

Fennel seeds have carminative properties, meaning they help to expel gas from the digestive tract. Chewing a teaspoon of fennel seeds after meals or sipping fennel tea can effectively reduce bloating and gas.

4. Ajwain (Carom Seeds)

Ajwain is another potent herb used in Ayurvedic medicine to treat digestive issues. It has a warming effect on the body and helps to relieve gas, bloating, and indigestion. You can consume ajwain with a pinch of salt or make a tea by boiling it in water.

5. Cumin Seeds

Cumin, or Jeera, is widely used in Ayurveda to improve digestion. It has anti-inflammatory properties that can help soothe your stomach, reduce bloating, and prevent the formation of gas. Cumin water or cumin tea is a simple yet effective remedy.

6. Peppermint

Peppermint is a popular herb known for its ability to relax the muscles of the digestive tract. This helps to reduce bloating and gas. You can consume peppermint tea or chew peppermint leaves to soothe your stomach.

7. Coriander Seeds

Coriander seeds have been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries to promote healthy digestion. They help to balance the digestive fire (Agni), reduce bloating, and aid in relieving gas. Boil coriander seeds in water and drink it regularly for effective results.

8. Basil (Tulsi)

Tulsi or holy basil is revered in Ayurveda for its anti-inflammatory and digestive benefits. It can help reduce acidity and bloating. You can chew a few basil leaves or make tulsi tea to calm your digestive system.

9. Aloe Vera Juice

Aloe vera juice is known for its cooling and soothing properties. It can help reduce acidity, gas, and bloating by promoting better digestion. Drink aloe vera juice on an empty stomach to help calm the digestive tract.

10. Haritaki

Haritaki, a key ingredient in Triphala, is often used to treat digestive disturbances such as bloating, acidity, and gas. It has detoxifying and rejuvenating properties. You can take Haritaki powder mixed with warm water to alleviate gas and promote healthy digestion.

Conclusion:

If you are struggling with gas, bloating, or acidity, Ayurvedic medicine offers numerous natural remedies to alleviate these issues. Incorporating herbs such as Triphala, ginger, fennel, ajwain, and others into your daily routine can provide long-term relief. Remember, consistency is key when it comes to Ayurvedic remedies. However, if your symptoms persist, consult with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized advice.
