Faced with digestive troubles and doctors telling her she must get used to living with IBS, Neha Chandra returned to the foods she ate as a child and found that spices can be nature's medicine cabinet. She shares how beloved cumin has been throughout time, even being spread from culture to culture via the Silk Road. This was an ancient trade route between the east and west. Cumin has been used in place of money, for mummification (!!), for beauty treatments, and - well we're not going to put all of Neha's inside knowledge on here! Just press play!
One of Neha's go-to condiments: Yogurt, diced cucumber, a bit of salt and a teaspoon of ground cumin.
