Heera Kalonjee (Onion Seeds) – 20x100g

Description

Heera Kalonji 20 x 100g: tiny black nigella seeds with a peppery, smoky lift

Kalonji goes by several names, including nigella and onion seeds, though the seeds do not actually come from onions. They are tiny, matt black and carry a peppery, faintly smoky aroma. This case is 20 x 100g, which means twenty individual 100g packs, a size that suits both home cooks and kitchens wanting fresh seeds on hand without opening one large tub.

Key Features

• Twenty 100g packs per case, keeping each pack fresh until needed
• Distinctive peppery, smoky flavour that stands out as a topping
• Classic scattered over naan, kulcha and other flatbreads before baking
• Adds character to pickles, dals, chutneys and vegetable stir fries
• Neat pack size for easy storage, portioning and stock rotation

Serving and uses: sprinkle over dough before baking naan or savoury breads, or crackle the seeds briefly in hot oil at the start of a tempering for dals and vegetables. They work in pickle spice mixes and can be scattered over salads and roasted vegetables for a gentle pepper note. A little adds a lot, so use a light hand.

Storage

keep in a cool, dry cupboard in a sealed pack or airtight jar, away from moisture and strong odours.
