Ajwain Biscuits

Cultural Context

Ajwain biscuits, originating from Oman, reflect the region's love for aromatic spices and simple, comforting snacks. Ajwain, or carom seeds, are known for their distinct flavor and digestive properties, making these biscuits a popular choice for tea time. Today, they are enjoyed not only in Oman but also in various parts of the Indian subcontinent, where they are often served during festive occasions or as a savory snack.
