What Is Thyme in Assamese and How Is It Used? - #11080
I recently came across the herb thyme while reading about culinary and medicinal herbs, but I’m curious about its regional significance. What is thyme in Assamese, and how is it traditionally used in cooking or remedies in that region? From what I’ve read, thyme is known for its antibacterial and antifungal properties. Is it commonly used in Assamese kitchens as a flavoring herb, or is it more popular for its medicinal uses? I’ve also heard that thyme tea is excellent for soothing sore throats and coughs. Is this preparation common in Assamese households, and how is it typically made—just the leaves boiled in water, or are other ingredients like honey added? For digestion, thyme is said to help with bloating and gas. Do Assamese recipes include thyme as a spice, or is it consumed separately as a herbal infusion? If anyone from Assam or familiar with Assamese cooking can share insights, I’d love to know how thyme is used in your culture. What are your favorite recipes or remedies involving this herb?
