Ajwain Seeds | Carom Seeds

Price range: R17.00 through R749.00

About this product

Ajwain seeds, also known as carom seeds, are small, oval-shaped seeds with a strong, thyme-like aroma and a sharp, pungent flavour. Popular in Indian and Middle Eastern cuisines, these seeds are used both whole and ground to lend a distinctive taste to various dishes. Though small in size, ajwain seeds pack an intense flavour that can transform simple recipes into aromatic delights.

Common Uses: Ajwain seeds are typically used for tempering, baking, and spice blends. Their strong flavour makes them ideal for rich, savoury dishes, particularly in Indian cuisine.
  • Tempering: Add to hot oil or butter ghee and pour over dals, curries, or vegetable stir-fries.
  • Flatbreads & Doughs: Mix into dough for flatbreads and naans to infuse a savoury aroma and flavour.
  • Savory Snacks: Sprinkle into batters such as samosas, or fritters to add depth of flavour.
  • Spice Mixes: Use in blends like curry powders for a sharp herbal note.
  • Pickles & Preserves: Commonly added to pickles for flavour enhancement.
  • Roasted Dishes: Sprinkle lightly over roasted potatoes or vegetables before baking or grilling.
  • Tips for Best Use: Toast briefly in a dry pan or sizzle in oil to mellow the sharpness and release aroma. Use sparingly—ajwain has a potent flavour, so a little goes a long way. Combine with spices like cumin, fennel, and coriander to balance its pungency in spice blends.
Storage Tips Keep ajwain seeds in an airtight container, stored away from moisture, heat, and sunlight. Store in a cool, dry cupboard or spice rack.
