🍞 How to cook with ajwain

Rub a pinch between your palms to release the aroma, then add it to dough for flatbreads and savoury biscuits. Fry a spoonful in hot ghee or oil and pour it over lentils or vegetables. Grind a little into a seasoning for grilled fish, or scatter a few seeds over salads. The flavour is strong, so a small amount seasons a whole pot.
