Cleome Viscosa (Jakhia)

Description

Product Description

Cleome Viscosa (Jakhia) is found in tropics throughout the world and is used in traditional medicine in many parts of India and outside. Almost all the parts of the plant are used for treating diseases. After having satisfied my taste buds with a variety of spicy and not-so-spicy foods, I can say that Garhwali food is undeniably tasty. The delicacies do not require elaborate cooking procedures and have the right mix of farm-fresh ingredients and relatively less known spices. Mostly, the delicacies are not available in urban eating joints, even in Garhwal. If one wants to taste authentic recipes, one has to plan a trip to Uttarakhand and look for home-stay options rather than commercial establishments.
