Jayfal or nutmeg and javitri or jayitri are two important spices which are given in Biriyani and fried rice in India.Both of them enhance the tastes of the dishes. But whenever they are given they make the eater a bit drowsy and sleepy. They are grown in the Southern states in India like Kerala and other countries like Sri Lanka.

I don´t know javitri, but I use nutmeg. I never knew they gave drowsiness.

@marguicha I think nutmeg must be given in fried rice, pulao, biriyani and curries of chicken and mutton.
