Cabbage and Ajwain Spice Mix Create a simple stir fry at home with Rafi’s Cabbage and Ajwain Pack. Ajwain seeds have a herbaceous and aromatic flavour, in this side recipe it is paired with earthy turmeric and fresh garlic. These spices perfectly complement bitter-sweet leafy greens. This recipe was created by Lee, Rafi’s son. A desire to create a quick, easy and nutritious recipe to complement Rafi’s Curry Packs led to this recipe. The simple flavour combination and quick cooking method showcases both the spices and the cabbage. Ajwain is a popular spice in India but it is not commonly used in a lot of Indian recipe books. Rafi often cooked with ajwain and speaks about this in her recipe books. She describes them as tasting aromatic, sharp, tingling and slightly bitter. She also mentions that they are used a lot in Gujarati cooking. This Spice Mix is a homage to Rafi’s cooking and the simplicity of Indian cuisine.
