I have posted several curry or rice recipes till now, but I have to admit this. I have not posted many before or after condiments in my blog. There are some but compared to the quantity of actual lunch and dinner recipes, it is very minimal. Out of all the after-meal recipes, Mukhwas, or mouth fresheners are one of the most sought-after recipes. I do acknowledge that there are so many different types of mouth fresheners including sweet or sugar-coated mouth fresheners. But I have stuck to the most basic, sugar-free that also helps to improve digestion. In short, this simple combo of 7 spice mouth fresheners has to be one of the simple and healthy, that can be attempted by any aspirant.
In addition, I would like to add some more related and important tips, suggestions, and variants to the 7-seed Mukhwas recipe. Firstly, in this recipe, I have strictly limited to 7 spices. But this can be further extended by adding powdered sugar, crushed rock sugar, or even sugar-coated fennel seeds. Secondly, use fresh and good quality spices for this mouth freshener. Even if bad quality or stale spice is used it may spoil the entire taste. In conclusion, store the mouth freshener in an airtight container for a longer shelf life and to preserve the flavor. Also, you may add more roasted fennel seeds once it is stored for 1-2 weeks so that it gets back the flavor.
