Ajowan seed is also known as Ajwain seed and Carom.
This spice is popular in southern Indian style cooking. It has a flavor reminiscent of thyme; a similarity due to the presence of the essential oil thymol in both. These seeds are used in Asian cooking, breads, biscuits, savory pastries, and in bean dishes. This spice closely resembles the Lovage seed.
To make a good salad is to be a brilliant diplomatist. The problem is entirely the same in both cases: to know how much oil one must mix with one's vinegar.
