Jeeren Kothmire Udak / Cumin and Coriander Tea
Jeeren kothmire udak is a must in our house during summer season. Jeeren means cumin and kothmir means coriander. I have been having this beverage since childhood. Coriander and cumin have the properties of reducing body heat, so acts as a natural summer coolant.

For making cumin and coriander powder:
