Art of Chai Workshop & Circle of Chai are finally held in person at Summer Hill's, The Little B.I.G House. Virtual attendance is still available too for both events!
Ajwain, or carom seed, is an authentic addition to any Indian pantry. With quite a strong aroma and taste, you don't need to add much to spice up your dish. Put it in your scrambled eggs, sprinkle it on your parantha or make a tea out of it.
Known in Ayurveda to have many great properties and is used in a lot of different Indian foods. It's probably for that reason that Ajwain is an essential ingredient in samosa's and parantha's - yum!
You can also roast & eat Ajwain when you've got indigestion, in Ayurveda roasted Ajwain is said to assist with bloating.
