Title: Ajwain
Post by: calendula on May 13, 2008, 18:58:19
I am growing Ajwain as a spice this year and have been studying its use on the internet but I was wondering if anyone here has personal experience of using it - would welcome your thoughts or ideas  :)

Ajwain is used in Indian( especially Southern Indian) cooking as both a digestive and to reduce the `oiliness` of fish and the frequent use of coconut.

We use it in various Dhals-eg Chana Dhal in an equal proportiion with caraway seeds
