Fennel Seeds/ Variyali (Mukhwas/ Mouthfreshner)

In my house we use different types of mukhwas. Mukhwas is basically taken after lunch or dinner as mouthfreshner. It also helps in digesting your food.  I am sharing with you one of them so that you can prepare at home within no time and also it is less expensive then you purchase from market.

For preparing fennel seeds mukhwas at home you will require:-

1 cup of fennel seeds

1-1/2 lime juice

1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

Take a bowl and put all the ingredients and mix it well. Cover it with lid and allow it to get each other flavour for about 4-5 hours. In between mix it once. Take a non-stick pan on the stove at low to medium flame and take this fennel seeds mixture in the non-stick pan and stir it continuously till it get crispy or it changes colour. Make sure you don't burn your mixture. After you feel your fennel crispy take out this mixture from flame and allow it to cool down about 1 hour. Then you can store in airtight container and use, it will stay good for about 2-3 months.

So your fennel seeds mukhwas is ready with few simple ingredients and without much of work!!!
