Ajowan is a spice
native to Southern India. The seeds look like caraway,
but they taste like a very strong and pungent version
of thyme. In Indian cuisine, it is often sprinkled
on breads & used in starchy foods.
They are also used with root vegetables,
legumes and bean dishes. It possesses some medicinal
properties that can aid in problems of digestion like
flatulence which explains its frequent use in bean
dishes. |
