Abstract

They define different spices like Carom Seeds (Ajwain), Cohinder (Dhnia), Cumin (Zeera), Black Paper (Kalimirch), Cardamom (Ilaichi), Turmeric (Haldi) etc. These spices are not used in the classical tales to balance the verses of the tales but also describe the importance of these plants in the life of human beings which are proved by science.
