Sultan Ajwain 300g
£1.69
Prices checked
Scatter these small ridged seeds into hot oil and they crackle almost at once, releasing a strong, thyme-like aroma that fills the pan. That quick burst of flavour is what makes ajwain such a useful spice to keep close to the hob. This pack holds 300g of whole ajwain seeds, ready to use straight from the tub. Their sharp, slightly bitter taste mellows once cooked, leaving a warm, savoury note that works well in everyday Indian cooking. Use a pinch in the tempering for dal, stir a few seeds into paratha or puri dough, or add them to the batter for pakoras. They also suit potato dishes and vegetable curries, added early so the heat draws out their flavour. A light dry-roast before grinding brings out more depth if a stronger flavour is wanted. Keep the seeds in a sealed container, away from direct light and heat, to preserve their aroma for longer. Measure by the pinch rather than the spoon, as ajwain is potent even in small amounts. This pack is a practical size for regular use in a busy kitchen, topping up spice tins without waste.
