Details

Especially popular in southern Indian cooking, ajowan seeds (also known as ajwain) are similar to lovage seeds, and have a flavor reminiscent of thyme. Both ajowan and thyme contain thymol, an essential oil that produces a pleasant aroma and strong flavor. Ajowan seeds are found in Asian cooking, biscuits, savory pastries, and breads.

Pantry stape for me

I first bought ajowan seeds for Indian cooking, but now I use it a lot for Western cooking where thyme would go well, like roast or braised chicken. I recently mentioned this to an Indian friend and she laughed a lot :)
