Carom leaves are said to have great benefits, the most popular of the home remedies of carom is treating cold and i must tell you that i have tried it several times and it works like Magic.
Please look at the end of this post for the Magic tonic that will help you cure cold, bad stomach.
This curd chutney is like filled with flavour and the hint of Ajwain / carom will make this curd chutney different from the others. Serve it with any mixed rice and it will sure be a hit. Curd had its own healing properties and when it s combined with Ajwain it becomes healthy and tasty too.
This like many of my recipes is easy and super quick to make. If you have a carom plant at home you can make the fresh curd chutney anytime you want. The plant can easily grow in a pot in your balcony.
It is unfortunate that the Carom leaf / herb is not that popular with vendors selling vegetables, at least i have not seen it in the vegetable markets in Bangalore at least. May be if we ask the vegetable vendor he can get it for you.
