spice
Carom seed
Ajwain
2 g1 teaspoon
6 g1 tablespoon
Ajwain seed bulk density about 0.4 g/ml; 4.93 ml level teaspoon ≈ 2.0 g.
Instead of Carom seed
Carom seedsUse the same weight; this is the same seed under its other name.
Carom seed pasteUse the same weight; looser and stronger, so add near the end and taste.
Cumin seedUse half the weight, lightly crushed; gives a warm aroma but not carom's thyme-like punch.
