Carom seeds, also called omam (Tamil) · ayamodakam (Malayalam) · oma / ajwana (Kannada) · vaamu (Telugu) · ajwain (Hindi, Punjabi) · ova (Marathi) · ajmo (Gujarati) · jowan (Bengali).

What it is

Heera comes from P&B (Foods) Ltd, a Bradford company that describes itself as one of the largest independent wholesale distributors of Asian foods across Britain and Europe. This is the larger bag of its ajwain, for kitchens where omam goes into something every week.

Ajwain is a tiny ridged seed with a strong, sharp, thyme-like taste. A pinch lifts plain paratha dough, bajji batter and homemade murukku, and it is the seed behind omapodi. Choosing between seeds? Ajwain for dough and fried snacks, sombu for biryani and kurma, jeera for rice and dal.

Tip: Keep a small jar by the stove and the rest of the bag sealed in the cupboard. It holds its smell much longer that way.

Goes well with: Naga Gram (Besan) Flour, Aashirvaad Chakki Atta, Heera Cumin (Jeera) Whole
