Charoli seeds are used as a spice in Indian cuisine and in traditional medicine practices in Asia. They come from the lanzan or Buchanania almond tree, which grows in tropical climates and produces small, round nuts that are difficult to crack. The powder created from crushing charoli has a sweet, nutmeg-like flavor and can be used in desserts and drinks. In addition, charoli is used to thicken sauces and stews and has medicinal properties, including treating ulcers and digestive disorders.
Charoli are the seeds of a lanzan or Buchanania almond tree, native to India, Malaysia and other parts of Asia. They usually look like small beans or peas. These seeds are often crushed to create a powder which is then used as a flavoring or spice in many authentic Indian dishes. It could also be used in traditional systems of natural medicine which are normally practiced in these parts of the world.
Almond trees usually grow in tropical climates that have a very rainy or monsoonal period in spring. Sometimes they can reach a height of about 15 meters. The plant typically has large round or oval-shaped leaves that are commonly light green with spots of brown or yellow. This tree occasionally has long white flowers that eventually produce charoli.
Charoli seeds are normally about 1.3 cm long. They are mostly round in shape and can sometimes be flat on one side. These nuts are usually medium to tan in color, but are occasionally black on the outside as well. They are usually contained in a very hard shell that is difficult to break, however the fruit inside is usually very soft and tender.
The powder created by crushing charoli is often used as a spice. The taste of this powder is considered by many to be quite sweet and similar to the flavor of nutmeg. For this reason, it is often used in flavored desserts or in piyush, an eggnog-like drink.
In addition to being used as a spice, these nuts are occasionally used to thicken sauces and stews. They could also be used to flavor meat dishes. Using charoli in preparing these types of dishes can have a slightly sweet taste.
Unani and Ayurveda are two systems of natural medicine commonly practiced in Asian countries. Both of these systems have specific uses for charoli. In the Ayurvedic system, it is sometimes used to treat ulcers, reduce fever and for blood disorders. In Unani medical practice, this seed can be used to cure digestive disorders, to force vomiting, release mucus, and to cleanse and purify the blood. Practitioners of both of these disciplines usually agree that these lunatics are aphrodisiacs.
Charoli is normally dried before being ground into a pulp. This means that it can be easily exported to areas where the almond tree does not grow normally. Individuals interested in preparing Indian cuisine or studying natural cures may wish to ask their local grocer to consider stocking this item.
