Highlights:

• Active enzymes in ajwain improve the flow of stomach acids, which can help to relieve indigestion, bloating, and gas. The plant can also help to treat peptic ulcers as well as sores in the esophagus, stomach, and intestines.

Overview:
Ajwain, ajowan, or Trachyspermum ammi—also known as ajowan caraway, omam podi, thymol seeds, bishop's weed, or carom—is an annual herb in the family Apiaceae. Both the leaves and the seed‑like fruit of the plant are consumed by humans. The name "bishop's weed" also is a common name for other plants.

Preparation Information: The best way to use ajwain seeds is to briefly fry them in fat or even dry roast the seeds before adding them to a dish. In Indian cuisine, ajwain seeds are added during the tadka or tempering process of cooking. Tadka means frying whole seeds in hot oil so that the oil incorporates the flavors of the spices.
