Ajwain, also known as carom seeds, are small ridged seeds with a sharp, thyme-like aroma and an intensely pungent flavour reminiscent of oregano with a hint of anise. A cornerstone of South Asian and Nepali cooking, ajwain is commonly used in parathas, puri dough, pakoras, and spiced flatbreads where it adds bold aromatic character. It’s also widely used in lentil dishes and pickles, and is prized in Ayurvedic tradition for its digestive properties. When tempered in hot oil, the seeds bloom and release their signature fragrance, infusing the entire dish. The 100g pack keeps well in an airtight jar. Customers value ajwain for its unmistakable flavour that cannot be substituted, and for the authentic South Asian taste it brings to everyday home cooking.
