Hi Maria,
Isnt perumjeerakam known as Fennel in english? Got confused because the indian stores where im staying sell perumjeerakam in the name of Fennel and the star thakolam as aniseed. Im new to cooking so wanted to clarify the same. Thanks in advance.
Hi Ben,
Perumjeerakam is commonly known as fennel in English. However in some cases, I’ve seen it mentioned as aniseed also. Thakolam is commonly known as star anise.
All the best for your cooking experiments & happy cooking :)
Hope I didnt confuse you more ;)
Cheers
Maria
