The bishop's weed or commonly known as ajwain or Ova in marathi is found in abundance in Muscat. I myself have a small plant in my little garden. Ajwain has a its own antiseptic properties & helps as a digestive aid & relief from abdominal discomfort due to digestion. Here's a cold soup/ welcome drink made from the Ajwain leaf mixed with buttermilk, a perfect summer coolant & excellent for digestion.

Ajwain leaves (washed)

Method

oil in a small kadai, when it becomes hot add methi seeds
let it splutter then add cumin seeds, hing, coconut & fry for 2
minutes; add the ajwain leaves. stir for a minute. Keep aside to
