TRS Ajwain Seeds

TRS Ajwain Seeds (also known as carom seeds) are small, ridged seeds known for their intense flavour and aromatic strength. The taste is bold and distinctive, often compared to thyme but more concentrated, with a sharp, slightly bitter edge and a warming aftertaste. They are typically used in small quantities due to their potency and are a staple in Indian cooking.

The texture is dry and firm, with seeds that release their aroma when crushed or heated. Ajwain is commonly added to hot oil at the start of cooking or mixed directly into doughs and batters. When cooked, it develops a deep, savoury aroma that enhances the overall flavour profile of a dish.

TRS Ajwain Seeds fit naturally into traditional cooking. They are ideal for adding depth to curries where strong herbal notes are needed, work well in flatbreads and fritters where they provide a distinctive flavour, and are commonly used in lentil dishes and snacks to enhance savoury complexity. They also perform well in tempering where their aroma is fully activated.
