It is commonly used in Indian, Pakistani, and Bengali cuisines to add a sweet, floral aroma and flavor to dishes like biryanis, desserts, and chutneys. Kewra water is also used in perfumes, cosmetics, and as a natural coolant in water-based drinks. It has a strong presence in Southeast Asian and Middle Eastern households, and its popularity is growing in Western societies due to the rise of ethnic cuisine.
