Kewra water, also known as keora or kewda water, is a fragrant water that is distilled from the flowers of the pandanus plant, which is native to South Asia. It is commonly used as a flavoring agent in a variety of dishes, particularly in Indian and Pakistani cuisine.
Kewra water has a sweet and floral aroma and a mild flavor that is often described as similar to rose water. It is used to enhance the flavor and aroma of biryanis, kheer (a type of rice pudding), lassi (a yogurt-based drink), and other desserts and sweets.
In addition to its culinary uses, kewra water is also used in traditional medicine and is believed to have a number of health benefits. It is said to aid in digestion, relieve stress and anxiety, and promote a sense of relaxation.
