Ajwain Spice Or Carom Seed Spice 50g

Steenbergs Ajwain - also known as ajowan or carom - is part of Steenbergs range of specialist spices.  Ajowan is a relative of parsley and looks slightly similar to parsley when growing.  Ajwain seeds look a bit like celery seeds - small, tear-shaped and light brown.  The taste of ajowan seeds is a bit like that of thyme as they have a high level of thymol in them, the active volatile oil, but then they have a slightly sharp, peppery set of higher notes that come through and a lingering, warm aftertaste.  Try ajowan in parathas, puris, bhajias, savoury pastries, spicy potato dishes and green beans. It is a specialist Indian spice and has an intense, pungent, thyme like flavour. A little goes a long way!


Steenbergs Ajwain is another specialist spice that Axel Steenberg has had great fun tracking down and is only sold to our web customers, and we don't sell to trade.
