Good to know
- Ajwain, also called carom seeds, is used in small pinches in parathas, pakoras, puris, mathri, dal tadkas and pickles.
- Its strong flavour means a little goes a long way, so it can make plain food tasty without extra salt or fat.
- Good research on its effect on digestion is limited, so think of it as a flavour and comfort spice rather than a remedy. If indigestion keeps coming back, see a doctor.
