Ajwain / Ajowan spice
Eliminates Ama
Ajwain (King's Caraway) is essential with Dal and vegetable dishes. Frequently it is roasted in ghee before use. Often incorrectly called lovage or celery seed. Ajwain tastes like caraway or thyme, only stronger. The seeds are small, gray-green in color and quite peppery when raw, but milder when cooked.
According to Ayurvedic teaching Ajwain eliminates deep-seated Ama, calms the Vata dosha and revitalises prana, the vital energy (not scientifically proven). Ajwain - goes well with ginger and makes potatoes, pastries, breads and legumes easier to digest.
- Ajwain – also known as Ajowan or carom, is a commonly-used ayurvedic spice.
- The Latin name for this spice is carum copticum. It tastes like caraway or thyme, only stronger. The seeds are small, gray-green in color and quite peppery when raw, but milder when cooked.
- Ajwain is helpful for pacifying Vata and Kapha, and increases Pitta. It contributes the pungent taste, with a slight bitter undertone.
- According to Ayurveda, Ajwain is a powerful cleanser. It is helpful for stimulating the appetite and enhancing digestion. It is recommended to help alleviate gas and discomfort in the stomach. It is also helpful for the functioning of the respiratory system and the kidneys.
- Ajwain is commonly added to deep-fried foods, such as fritters, in Indian cooking, to help ease digestion. A pinch added to buttermilk or digestive lassi can promote digestion if taken after lunch. Add a pinch to rice as it is cooking, for aroma and flavour.
- Ajwain can be combined with other spices such as turmeric, paprika, cumin, black pepper, fennel and coriander.
Spice Wise
The exotic colours and heady aromas of spices can elevate an ordinary dish into a sublime feast for the sense of sight, smell and taste. What's more, most spices also come with therapeutic properties, so every meal that includes spices can become an experience in enhancing health and well-being. Ayurveda, the ancient system of healing from India, has been singing the praises of spices as "wonder foods" for thousands of years. Spices are ingredients in many synergistic ayurvedic herbal formulations, and an ayurvedic expert, when giving you advice, is as likely to recommend specific spices to include in your diet as to suggest herbal supplements for you to take.
