Annam Fennel Seeds 400g

Fennel seeds are added to Indian dishes either whole or ground but if you chose to use them whole then crack the seeds with the blunt edge of a knife, or the bottom of a pan, to allow the fragrant oils to be released during cooking.

Whole seeds fennel seeds can also be dry fried to release their aroma prior to putting them into your dish.

Fennel seeds add a subtle and fragrant sweetness to dishes and sauces and in Indian cooking are mostly used in seed form and are also used for masala (spice) mixes and in pickles or chutneys.

Roasted seeds are also chewed as an after dinner ‘mint’ and are sometime given to diners in Indian restaurants following their meal, as a digestive.

They are also a key ingredient in five spice powder.
