About this item
Onion-seed flavour for naan and pickles. Nitra Kalonji, also called nigella seeds or habbat al barakah, are small black seeds with a nutty, slightly peppery taste.
Why cooks choose it
Sprinkled on naan and breads, kalonji toasts in the oven and gives that familiar bakery flavour. It is one of the five seeds in panch phoron, a classic in North Indian pickles and a lovely finish on roasted potatoes and vegetable sabzis.
