This is a variegated Mexican Mint; the white parts on the leaves are caused by cell mutation. Could it one day become completely green one day? Of course. Plus, the white part has no chlorophyll= cannot photosynthesize. Impermanence really is everywhere.

🌱Le Plectranthus amboinicus appelé aussi gros thym, Origan Cubain, plante Efferalgan ou plante doliprane est une plante exotique vivace. Ses feuilles sont épaisses et très parfumées. Le gros thym est utilisé en médecine traditionnel pour soigner divers maux. Il se cultive très bien en intérieur sous serre ou dehors en plein soleil. C'est une plante frileuse, il est donc indispensable de la rentrer en hiver.

Karpooravalli / Omavalli Chutney | Ajwain Leaves Chutney

A delicious chutney made with a very aromatic herb, Karpooravalli / Omavalli / Ajwain leaves also known as the Mexican mint or Cuban Oregano.

Karpooravalli or Omavalli plant is a perennial plant that is most commonly grown as an indoor plant year around. My dear friend Aparna has couple of beautiful luscious plants growing in her house and she gave me couple of cuttings from her plant this summer. The best part about this plant is that it grows easily from a cutting. I let it sit in water until roots started appearing and then transferred it to a pot. The pots remained outside all summer and it grew wild.

Karpooravalli also known as Omavalli in Tamil, Ajwain leaves in Hindi and Mexican Mint / Cuban Oregano in English is a very easy to grow plant and has many medicinal properties. I have been regularly making some kashaayam / tea with the leaves for sore throat and cold and has been quite effective. When thinking of how else to use the beautiful leaves, I came across recipes for bajji with the leaves. I will be making that soon as well, but wanted to make something that is not deep fried and more practical for a quick weeknight dinner. For this chutney, I just used the leaves as I would use mint or cilantro. I used some coconut in the chutney to cut down on the very herbal flavor of the Karpooravalli leaves and also to add some body to the chutney. I served the chutney with dosai for dinner. My older one loved it and my little one hated it. So yes, the taste needs a little bit of getting used to, If you are looking to incorporate more herbs in your cooking, this is a great recipe to start with. This week, my theme for BM is 'Colorful recipes' and my first recipe for this theme is this Green colored Karpooravalli / Omavalli Chutney | Ajwain Leaves Chutney.

Procedure to make Karpooravalli / Omavalli Chutney | Ajwain Leaves Chutney -

The Cuban oregano (Plectranthus amboinicus) is flowering and the bees have never been happier. Will collect seeds to spread around although this plant itself is easily propagated from stem cutting or even leaves. Cuban oregano goes by other names, too. It’s been called Puerto Rican oregano, Indian borage, Mexican mint and Spanish thyme. While it’s gathered a few nationalities along the line, it’s believed this versatile herb is a perennial plant native to southern and eastern Africa. The plants are highly ornamental with thick, succulent leaves that are also highly flavored. The fragrance seems to be a combination of oregano, thyme and sage. Some sources say the leaves can be used as a natural insect repellent because of their aroma. Just crush a few and rub them on exposed skin. But the best use of this fresh herb is in recipes. The leaves are best used fresh, they can be put in a blender or ‘pilon’ with other ingredients for a tangy marinade or chopped for a salsa, sautéed with garlic to flavor a pot of black beans or dipped in a light batter and fried. ・・・ #growninhaiti #cubanoregano #puertoricanoregano #indianborage #spanishthyme #mexicanmint #Plectranthusamboinicus #herb #herbal #ornamental #flowering #haiti #ayiti #foodforest #insectrepellant #organic #agroforestry #propagation #seedsaving #seedswap #livingseedbank https://www.instagram.com/p/B-vFZfMlulG/?igshid=1kyjou24ulvm7
