Nigella Seeds

Nigella seeds ( also called black caraway ), are small black seeds with an elongated shape and pointed end, similar in size to sesame seeds. With an unique flavour that can be described as smokey and peppery, they can also impart a flavour combination reminiscent of oregano and onion, especially when toasted. These just black seeds are often used in Indian cuisine, especially for naan, rice, and curry dishes. They are also used in European recipes for breads, savoury biscuits, and pastries.
