Mukhwas, also known as Saunf or Chaliya, is a popular South Asian mouth freshener enjoyed for its refreshing taste and digestive benefits.

Traditionally, it is made with fennel seeds and roasted split coriander seeds, resulting in a delightful blend of nutty and sweet flavors reminiscent of peppermint.
