Description
Ajwain Seeds have a bold, thyme-like aroma with a warm, peppery bite and a slightly bitter edge.
Small but powerful, they release their flavour beautifully when toasted or bloomed in hot oil.
Traditionally used in Indian cooking, ajwain is excellent in dals, breads, pakoras, vegetable dishes and savoury snacks.
A little goes a long way, adding depth, warmth and a distinctive herbal sharpness.

Ajwain Seeds - Quick Reference
What is it?: Small aromatic seeds from the ajwain plant, also known as carom seeds.
Flavour: Powerful thyme-like aroma with peppery warmth, a slightly bitter edge and a hint of anise.
Common uses: Indian breads, pakoras, dals, potatoes, pulses, savoury snacks, pickles and vegetable dishes.
Pairs well with: Cumin, coriander, turmeric, chilli, asafoetida, potato, chickpeas and lentils.
How to use: Toast briefly or bloom in hot oil to release the aroma. Use sparingly, as even a small quantity can dominate a dish.
Compare with: Sharper and more medicinal than cumin seed, and more intensely thyme-like than ordinary dried thyme.
Substitute: A mixture of dried thyme and cumin seed can approximate the direction, though ajwain remains more pungent.
Storage: Store whole and airtight; crush only when required.
Good to know: Ajwain is often added to doughs and fried foods because its assertive flavour remains clear after high-temperature cooking.
