Fennel seed

Saunf

2 g1 teaspoon

6 g1 tablespoon

USDA FoodData Central: 1 level tsp whole fennel seed is 2.0 g

Instead of Fennel seed

Aniseed
Use 75% of the weight. Fry in hot oil or ghee; has a sharper, more pronounced liquorice flavour, so use a lighter hand.
Ground fennel seed
Use 60% of the weight. Stir into the sauce with ground masalas; provides identical sweet aniseed flavour without whole seed crunch.
Star anise
Use one point (single carpel) per 1 g of fennel seeds. Simmer in gravies and remove before serving; gives a deeper, woodier liquorice aroma.
