Keoka (k-o-ka)/ Kinona  is a very healthy spice mix with medicinal properties. It is a must have ingredient to give after delivery and to lactating mothers.

Keoka is a mix of ajwain/ carom seeds, jeera/ cumin, dhaniya/coriander seeds and saunth (dried ginger powder). This powder can be made and stored for a month . This keoka is added daily in the new mothers chapati and poori dough, added in Gol Papdi , harira and kasa saunth etc .Can be added in sweet and savory both type of food items.

Ajwain is considered as a powerful cleanser, the best herbal cure for gastric problems and indigestion, Heaviness in the stomach, It also helps in the cleaning of stomach and uterus.   Jeera /cumin is considered and used as lactating agent from ancient time. It also helps to relieve gastric problem and increase digestion.
