Hi:

Plan on making goulash and need caraway seed, but couldn't find it in
the grocery stores. What is an acceptable substitute? Cumin? In what
proportion?

Thx

I don't think there is a substitute for caraway. You'd be better leaving
it out than trying to substitute. Would dill seed be OK in a goulash?

Wouldn't net the same taste at all. I wonder if the OP could go to the
bakery department at the grocery store and ask them if they have caraway
seeds?

The recipe calls for a pinch of caraway, and I am making a half recipe
anyway. So I am going with fennel seed...found a site that said either
fennel or cumin could be substituted. 10-12 fennel seeds. Thx for the
very quick responses

I wouldn't... no way fennel or cumin make a substitute... were I desperate for
a few caraway seeds I'd buy a seeded rye... otherwise leave the steenkin' seeds
out altogether, then make a trip to your local package store for a bottle of
Kummel for sippin' with the stew.

No, not the same at all. I just wondered if it would be good. (I think
cumin would be awful.)

Whole carraway and cumin seeds LOOK a little alike in shape and size.
The flavors don't resemble each other at all. Dill, at least, is a
relative of carraway though I don't see much similarity in flavor there
either. If I couldn't find carraway seeds, I'd leave them out and
forget about a substitute. Goulash is a nice flavorful dish anyway.
The lack of carraway won't break it.

Just leave it out. Cumin and caraway don't taste remotely alike.
Try a whole/health food shop for caraway.

Right, don't even *think* cumin.

You could use a *small* amount of fennel seeds. It's not dissimilar and
goes well with goulash anyway. Otherwise, leave it out.

Stop in a bagel shop and ask, or send me a stamped envelope. I'll send
you a fistfull for free.

I have about 40 pounds of the seeds I use in my rye bagels.
