AJWAIN & ITS HEALTH BENEFITS

Ajwain, which is called by the name carom seeds in English, Ugragandha in Sanskrit, Aijavain in Punjabi, Omam in Tamil, Jowan in Bengali and Yavano in Gujarati is a herb plant originated in India.

Varying from brown to olive green in colour, these seeds have a bitter and pungent flavour and most commonly used seed in Indian cooking.

Either it be abdominal discomfort like burning sensation, acidity or stomach pain, carom seeds are the one which are prioritized in home remedies over the medicines.

For ear or tooth ache, cleansing skin, cough and congestion relief, lower blood pressure or infection prevention, ajwain has an important role to play everywhere.

So it would not be wrong to call it a super seed and if something is so magical, you have every reason to use it in your daily cooking.

And that is why these carom seed cookies are here, which are commonly sold in every bakery across India.

INGREDIENTS USED IN AJWAIN BISCUITS

FLOUR : As this recipe is full of health benefits and even recommended for toddlers also, so there was no question of adding all purpose flour/maida to it. Hence these are made with whole wheat flour.

BUTTER : Butter provides a fat content to the cookies. You can replace butter with desi ghee but don’t try with oil.

SWEETENER : Again keeping in view the healthy options, jaggery powder is added instead of sugar.

CAROM SEEDS : This is the star ingredient of the recipe. Some is added into the dough and few seeds are sprinkled over of top of cookies before baking.

BAKING SODA/POWDER : They help in making the cookies crispy and crunchy.

SALT : Ajwain cookies are a combo of mildly sweet and salty, so bit of salt is needed. We have used rock salt in the recipe.
