Normally when we think of a desert we visualize a large expanse of white dry sand below and a scorching sun above.It is really interesting to know that God has added such exotic colorful plants and flowers in such dry areas.

Dear VR Ji,
Till date I havent tasted Paan yet..when I go to India this coming August,I guess I will have to pay that Paanwala a visit.
Dear VR
Thanks a lot for the information about the betel leaf.I think that there should be a word of caution for the paan lovers while consuming the leaves.The leaves have to be washed and wiped thoroughly before consuming as there have been cases of serious health hazards due to harmful microbes sticking under the leaves.

Dear Mr. S.S,
Now a days they spray pesticides on flowers and herbs also.
It is best to wash, wipe clean and eat the produce.
I read a story of an unfortunate girl who liked the rose presented to her
on her birthday so much that, she ate the whole flower petal by petal.
She died on the same day!
Really a pathetic and dangerous birthday gift!
with best wishes,
V.R.

Dear Renu!
Please make sure that you are NOT given the lethal combinations/ 420
type by mistake or on purpose.
Now I understand many things!
Why new mothers are almost force fed paan.
It stimulates the milk production, helps digestion and provides natural
calcium supplement to her and her baby.!
Why the reddened tongue is supposed to reveal the affection of the
spouse!
May be the redness is a Love Quotient.
Redder the tongue... higher the L.Q!
Why all the red light area didis (women dadas) in the movies
are shown chewing pan (like cows chewing the cud) all the time!
It is really scary!

dear Mr. S.S,
I too thought that deserts were dry and dreary places until I visited the
desert museum with my son!.
But apparently God makes up for the lack of green by adding brightly
colored flowers. His way of equalizing things and making everything fair!
The other place where I noticed this was in the horoscopes of girls.
The pretty girls seem have horrorscopes while the not-so-pretty have
horoscopes! Again God's way of equalizing the odds!
with best wishes,

# 33. CUMIN. .
Cumin is said to be the second most popular spice in the world after black pepper. The Indian name for Cumin is Jeera and as the name itself suggests cumin is good to the digestion in more than one way.
Cumin seeds are used as a spice for their distinctive aroma in many cuisines like Nepalese, Pakistani, Indian, Sri Lankan, Mexican, Cuban, and North African.
Cheese made by the Dutch and french breads contain cumin. Cumin can be used ground or as whole seeds. Cumin was also used heavily in ancient Roman cuisine.
Cumin adds an earthy and warming feeling to cooking, making it an essential ingredient in certain stews and soups, as well as curries.
In South Asia, cumin tea (dry seeds boiled in hot water) is used to distinguish false labour (due to gas) from real labour.
In Sri Lanka, toasting cumin seeds and then boiling them in water makes a tea used to soothe acute stomach problems.
People in parts of South Asia commonly believe cumin seeds help with digestion. Some scientific evidence suggests cumin may aid digestion by stimulating enzymes to break down foods.
Although cumin seeds contain iron, extremely large quantities of cumin would need to be consumed for it to serve as a significant dietary source.

# 34.Cilantro
Cilantro, a member of the carrot family is also referred to as Chinese Parsley. http://www.gourmetsleuth.com/Articles/Exotic-Herbs-Spices-and-Salts-639/cilantro.aspx#It is actually the leaves (and stems) of the Coriander plant.
Cilantro has a very pungent odor and is widely used in Mexican, Caribbean and Asian cooking. The Cilantro leaves look a bit like flat Italian parsley and in fact they are related.
Coriander is believed to be named after "koris", the Greek word for "bedbug" since they thought that these two emitted a similar odor. A very strange comparison to the disadvantage of the lovely and fragrant coriander!
The Chinese used the herb in love potions believing it provided immortality. Coriander is one of the herbs thought to have aphrodisiac qualities.
The book of The Arabian nights tells a tale of a merchant who had been childless for 40 years and but was cured by a concoction that included coriander.
That book is over 1000 years old so the history of coriander as an aphrodisiac dates back far into history.
Cilantro was also know to be used as an "appetite" stimulant. Coriander grows wild in South East Europe and had been cultivated in Egypt, India and China for thousands of years.
It is mentioned in Sanskrit text and the Bible. Spanish conquistadors introduced it to Mexico and Peru where it now commonly paired with chilies in the local cuisine.
It has since become very popular in the Southwest and Western part of the United States as well as in most metropolitan areas.
An interesting note is that people of European descent frequently are reviled by the smell of cilantro. It has not gained in popularity in Europe as it has in many other parts of the world.
Must be due to the (yukky) reference to the smell of bedbug to the (yummy) cilantro!

# 35. CURRY LEAF. .
The curry tree கறிவேப்பிலை,ಕರಿಬೇವು, కరివేపాకు is an Indian tropical to subtropical tree.The Tamil name kariveppilai' ( kari-curry, veppu- neem and ilai-leaf ) which is the literal translation of curry leaves.
The name means "leaf that is used to make curry" and it is present in almost all the South Indian dishes in addition to coriander leaves. Without curry leaves, curry seems to lack both taste and flavor!.
The name in Kannada means "black neem", since the appearance of the leaves is similar to the unrelated bitter Neem tree.
Same way in Gujarati it is known as "limdo" or "meetho leemdo" (means Sweet neem). Curry leaves are also entirely unrelated to the aromatic leaves from the Mediterranean namely Bay leaves and Basil leaves.
The leaves are highly valued as seasoning in southern and west-coast Indian cooking and in vada, chutney, tuar dhal powder etc.
In their fresh form, they have a short shelf life, and they don't keep well in the refrigerator. They are also available dried, though the aroma is largely inferior.
These leaves are used in many Ayurvedic preparations. Their medical properties include much value as an anti-diabetic, antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, hepatic protective etc.
Curry leaves are also known to be good for hair, for keeping it healthy, black, shiny and long. They are rich in iron.
Although most commonly used in curries, leaves from the curry tree can be used in many other dishes to add spice.

# 36. FENNEL.
Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) is a plant species in the genus Foeniculum. It is a perennial herb with feathery leaves and yellow flowers.
It is a aromatic herb with culinary and medical benefits. Florence fennel or finocchio is a selection with a swollen, bulb-like stem base that is used as a vegetable. The bulb, foliage, and seeds of the fennel plant are widely used in many of the culinary traditions of the world.
Dried fennel seed is an aromatic spice with anise-flavor.It is brown or green in color when fresh, but becomes dull grey as the seed ages. For cooking, green seeds are optimal.
The leaves are delicately flavored and similar in shape to those of dill. The bulb is a crisp, hardy root vegetable and may be sauteed, stewed, braised, grilled, or eaten raw.
Fennel features prominently in Mediterranean cuisine, where bulbs and fronds are used, both raw and cooked. Fennel seed is a common ingredient in sausages of Italy and rye breads of Northern Europe.
Fennel is one of the most important spices in Gujarati cooking. It is an essential ingredient of the five spice mixture. In many parts of Pakistan and India, roasted fennel seeds are consumed as after-meal digestive and breath freshener.
Some people in farming communities also chew on fresh sprigs of green fennel seeds. Fennel leaves are used as leafy green vegetables either by themselves or mixed with other leafy greens.
Medical benefits of fennel:
1. used to treat colic pain and flatulence in infants.
2. used to treat the bloated feeling and digestive disorders in adults.
3.Improves eye sight.
4. Is a diuretic.
5. helps bread feeding mothers.
6.used to treat chronic coughs.
7.Powdered fennel is a flea repellant and keeps the kennels and stabled flea-free.

# 37. FENUGREEK. .
Fenugreek is a plant in the family of Fabaceae. Its leaves are herb and seeds a spice called Methi in Hindi and Vendhayam in Tamil.The plant is cultivated worldwide as a semi-arid crop.
Major fenugreek producing countries are India (the largest producer in the world), Nepal, Pakistan, Bangala Desh, Argentina, China, Spain, Turkey, France and Egypt.
The yellow to amber colored fenugreek seeds are frequently used in the preparation of pastes, pickles and powders.
The dried leaves - also called kasuri methi have a bitter taste and a characteristically strong smell.Fenugreek seeds are used as a medicine to warm and tone kidneys, disperse cold and alleviate pain.
In India about 2-3g of raw fenugreek seeds are swallowed raw early in the morning with warm water, before brushing the teeth and before drinking tea or coffee, where they are supposed to have a therapeutic and healing effect on joint pains, without any side effects.[SUP]
[/SUP]
Fenugreek seed is widely used by nursing mothers to increase inadequate supply of breast milk. Fenugreek seeds ameliorate most metabolic symptoms associated with diabetes by reducing serum glucose and improving glucose tolerance.
Fenugreek is currently available commercially in encapsulated forms and is being prescribed as dietary supplements.
Fenugreek contains high dietary fiber, so a few seeds taken with warm water before going to sleep helps avoiding constipation.[SUP]

# 38. GARLIC.
It is said, “Garlic everyday keeps every body away!” It keeps not only everybody away but also every disease away! Want to know how?
Garlic had been used through ages as a charm to ward of all evil spirits. It had been a popular remedy for many complaints ranging from dog-bites, constipation, asthma, pimples to athlete’s foot. Its medical properties have been well documented and it has been mentioned even in The Holy Bible.
In 1900s, garlic was recommended by some doctors as a cure for Tuberculosis. During World War I, it was used to cure dysentery. In World War II, it was widely used on the war wounds to prevent septic poisonings and gangrenes.
Albert Schweitzer had used garlic to cure cholera and typhus. In Russia it was fondly called as “The Russian Penicillin” and is used to treat colds and flu. In China, garlic had been used to for many centuries, treat high blood pressure.
Many doctors were skeptic with regard to the many medical qualities attributed to garlic. But scientific evidence supports its curative power as an anti-biotic, a fungicide, a laxative, a diuretic and as an anti-coagulant.
As early as 1858, Louis Pasteur observed that garlic could destroy small bacteria. In 1985, tests have proved that garlic is effective against, Influenza B and Herpes Simplex.
It has been proved that garlic lowers blood cholesterol, increases the absorption of vitamin B, benefiting the nervous system. Garlic can inhibit blood clotting. Even half a clove of raw garlic pearl is tremendously beneficial to fight blood clotting.
In its raw crushed state, garlic contains amino acids, rich in sulfur. This protects against heart diseases. The precise explanation for the medical properties of garlic is not known. But this does not diminish the greatness or the curative properties of garlic in any which way!

Garlic and Onion
Garlic and Onions belong to same family of "Amaryllidaceae" under botanical classification. Both have immense medicinal properties.
Among other various nutritional properties, both are rich natural source of sulfur. It is because of the resultant byproduct of bad smelling gas (H2S) the use of these two wonderful Alliums are abhorred by religious people all over the world. They are used by almost all the ancient medical world from time immemorial.

You are giving very interesting and useful information painstakingly gathered from various sources. If possible can you please add the Tamil equivalent for all the herbs, which I am sure will be of help to all.

Chicory
Dear Sri Siva,
Chicory is known as Kasani in Ayurveda and richest natural source of vitamin A, and used in correcting eye problems. From olden days the decoction made out of this herb has been used in Ayurveda to regenerate sluggish Liver. Its properties as a natural laxative are well known.
I remember the Chicory fields adjacent to Brookbond Coffee factory in Palm grove road, in my home town Coimbatore in olden days.

I understand that orthodox religious people abhor onion or garlic,even drumstick since they are capable of arousing the base instinct in human beings.I don't know whether it is proved scientifically or it is just a notion.

However I will take extra effort to include the Tamil names or at least

English.
