Serves: 1 bundle
Ingredients
- Omam/Ajwain/Carom seeds - 1 tbsp
Instructions
- Take a tablespoon of omam/ajwain/carom seeds and dry roast in low flame until nice aroma wafts around.
- Spread a handkerchief and transfer the roasted carom seeds to it.
- Fold 2 edges to form a triangle. Then hold the centre 2 edges and keep pulling each edge to it.
- Grab all the edges and just stretch one edge and wrap/tie it around. Pass the edge into the wrap and pull it out to make a knot.
- Make sure the knot is tight. This makes a potli/pottalam/bundle as shown. Keep near the nose to inhale.
Notes
1.Daily change the potli(both ajwain seeds and the cloth/handky).
2.If keeping near babies, do tie it tightly with a strong thread. Else, the potli might open and seeds might enter eyes, nose, ears, mouth and invite danger.
3.Switch off the fan when making potli as the essential oils might evaporate rapidly.
