Kasoori methi, 50 g, Munshi Panna

Shambala Leaves - a spice used in both cooking and medicine. It is added to salads, soups, sauces, main courses, and eaten on its own, like spinach. The dried and ground green top of fenugreek, also known as utkho-suneli seasoning, perfectly complements vegetarian dishes, soups, gravies, potato and mushroom dishes.

It has a strong, sweetish and slightly bitter taste and aroma, somewhat reminiscent of burnt sugar. It gives a nutty flavor to dishes, so in some vegetable dishes, instead of Shambala, you can add slightly roasted and crushed hazelnuts. Do not take more than indicated in the recipe, and be very careful when roasting them. They should remain light brown, otherwise the dish will be bitter.

Shambala was widely used by Indian Brahmins many hundreds of years ago. Arab women from Syria to Libya eat roasted Shambala seeds to add fullness to their breasts and hips, and full figures are known to be considered the ideal of beauty in the East. Shambala was also successfully used in the past and is currently used to treat premature baldness and promote hair growth.

As a medicine, Shambala was widely used by doctors in Egypt, China and Europe. In North America, colonists used Shambala to treat women's diseases. Over time, it became the main component of Lydia Pinkham's famous herbal remedy, a known remedy for menstrual discomfort (she called it the greatest medical discovery of the 19th century).

Shambala leaves contain proteins, starch, sugar, fiber, essential oil, and enzymes. Shambala is rich in vitamins A, B1, B2, C, PP, and microelements such as potassium, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, sodium, iron, and zinc. Among other things, Shambala contains all the essential amino acids our body needs.
