🌿 What is Kala Shahi Jeera?
Kala Shahi Jeera, or black cumin, should not be confused with regular cumin (jeera) or nigella seeds (kalonji). It is smaller, darker, and has a more intense flavour than standard cumin.
Traditionally, it has been used in royal dishes like Mughlai curries, kebabs, and pulaos. It is also considered a medicinal spice in Ayurveda, known for aiding digestion and boosting immunity.
