Indian Kitchen Spices and Herbs

Marjoram

Marjoram is a small bush with soft gray-green leaves and tiny white flowers that often is confused with oregano, however, the flavor of marjoram is more delicate, although, some leaves may have a slightly bitter flavor

As part of a bouquet garni, marjoram is distinctive for its minty flavor and sweet aroma. In the Indian cuisine, the herb is mostly used to condiment:

• fish
• lamb
• beef
• pork
• chicken
• tomato dishes
• stuffing’s
• breads
• sausages
• salad dressings
• Chowders
• omelet’s

 

Today, marjoram is cultivated for culinary purposes, but in ancient Greece, it was the most sought after herb in graves, because there was a common belief that if marjoram grew on a deceased's grave, the soul of such person would enjoy eternal peace.

Opposite to other herbs and spices, the flavor or marjoram is increased when its leaves are dried.
