Ajwain is a deeply flavorful, tiny seed-like fruit related to cumin, from the celery family. It has an aroma similar to thyme, and a slightly bitter, herbal taste with notes of oregano, celery seed, and a hint of anise. Popular in India and throughout the Middle East and North Africa, it is often used to flavor breads and pastries. In Indian cooking you’ll find it used in samosas, parathas, and rotis, as well as in seasoned oil to top dals and pakoras.
