Welcome to the world of food bloggers and thanks for joining in the Presto Pasta Night fun. Now I have a brand new spice to track down - Ajwain.

Hi, looks good. Wonder if I could do without the carom seeds?

Hello All,

Thank you all for your feedback.

tigerfish : Of course, you could do without the carom seeds.They are used for their intense thyme flavor, and the medicinal properties.
