Caraway seeds
Shahjeera
2.2 g1 teaspoon
7 g1 tablespoon
Whole caraway about 2.2 g per level teaspoon; spice-trade figure.
Instead of Caraway seeds
Fennel seedSame weight, lightly crushed; sweeter and milder but the closest match for the anise note.
Cumin seedUse two-thirds the weight; earthier and warmer, losing most of the aniseed character — good in breads and root vegetables.
Carom seedsUse half the weight; much more pungent and thyme-like, so add early in hot oil to soften it.
