SCHANI Kalonji Seeds (Black Cumin) 100g

"Discover the distinctive flavour of Schani Kalonji Seeds 100g, a traditional spice widely used in Indian, Middle Eastern, and South Asian cooking.
Also known as kalonjee, nigella seeds, or Nigella sativa, these tiny black seeds have a wonderfully complex flavour, combining peppery warmth, subtle bitterness, earthy notes, and a delicate onion-like aroma.
Kalonji seeds are particularly popular in Indian breads, pickles, vegetable dishes, and aromatic spice blends. They are also one of the traditional ingredients in panch phoron, the five-spice mixture used in Bengali cuisine.
Their crunchy texture and distinctive appearance make them an excellent finishing touch for homemade naan, flatbreads, savoury pastries, and roasted vegetables.
Whether sprinkled over freshly baked bread, added to a fragrant curry, or lightly toasted to release their aroma, Schani Kalonji Seeds bring a unique and authentic flavour to everyday cooking.
The convenient 100g pack is ideal for keeping this versatile spice close at hand."

"Schani Kalonji Seeds can be used whole, lightly toasted, or added directly to your favourite savoury recipes.
For delicious kalonji naan, prepare your usual naan dough and sprinkle a small quantity of nigella seeds over the surface before cooking. Press them gently into the dough so they adhere, then cook until the bread is golden and lightly puffed.
For an aromatic vegetable curry, heat a little oil in a pan and add a pinch of kalonji seeds. Allow them to sizzle briefly before adding onions, ginger, garlic, and your favourite vegetables. Their distinctive flavour pairs especially well with potatoes, cauliflower, aubergine, and lentils.
To prepare a traditional Bengali-style spice mixture, combine kalonji with cumin, fennel, fenugreek, and mustard seeds to make panch phoron. Use the whole spices to season dals, vegetable dishes, and pickles.
Kalonji seeds also work beautifully in homemade chutneys, savoury biscuits, bread rolls, and spiced snacks.
Cooking tip: Lightly toast the seeds in a dry pan over low heat for a short time to enhance their aroma. Avoid excessive heat, which can make them taste bitter."
