Nitra Ajwain Seeds (Carom)

About this item

Aromatic carom seeds. Nitra Ajwain Seeds, also called carom seeds, are tiny seeds with a bold, thyme-like aroma.

Why cooks choose it

Ajwain is strong, so a pinch is enough to flavour a whole batch of dough or batter. It is the familiar taste in ajwain parathas, crisp mathri and besan pakoras, and it adds a savoury lift to dal tadka and fried snacks.

What to cook with it

• Ajwain paratha
• Ajwain-spiced pakoras
• Mathri and namak pare
• Dal tadka

How to use

Crush 1/2 teaspoon between your palms to release the oils, then knead into dough or whisk into pakora batter. In tadka, fry briefly in hot ghee with cumin.

Pack sizes

Available in 100 g and 300 g packs.

Storage

Keep in an airtight jar away from light and moisture.
