TRS Kalonji | Nigella Seeds 100g

TRS Kalonji 100g – Nigella / Black Onion Seeds

Kalonji — nigella seeds, black onion seeds, black caraway, or habbatus sauda in Arabic — are tiny matt-black seeds with a distinctive peppery, slightly bitter, oregano-like flavour. TRS Kalonji 100g is the standard pack for a spice used in small quantities but used often.

What Is Kalonji?

Despite the English name, nigella seeds have nothing to do with onions and nothing to do with caraway — the names come from the smell and the look. The seeds come from Nigella sativa, a flowering plant grown across South Asia, the Middle East and North Africa.

Raw kalonji is sharp and a little bitter. A few seconds in hot oil mellows it into something warm and savoury, which is why it is almost always tempered or baked rather than sprinkled on raw.

Perfect for Naan, Pickles & Tempering

Kalonji shows up throughout South Asian and Middle Eastern cooking:

• Naan and kulcha — the black seeds pressed into the dough
• Achaar and pickles — a core North Indian pickling spice
• Panch phoron — one of the five seeds in Bengali five-spice
• Bengali fish and vegetable dishes
• Sabzi and aloo — tempered at the start of cooking
• Middle Eastern breads and cheeses
• Dal and lentils — in a mixed tadka

How to Use It

Add a pinch to hot oil along with cumin and mustard seeds at the start of a tadka, or work the seeds into bread dough before baking so they toast in the oven. A quarter-teaspoon is usually enough for a family-size dish — kalonji is assertive.

A Distinctive Spice in Sweden

For Bengali, Punjabi, Pakistani and Bangladeshi families in Stockholm and across Sweden, kalonji is the spice that makes home-made naan look and taste right, and there is no real substitute for it in pickles or panch phoron.
