🌿 What is Kalonjee (Nigella Seeds)?

Kalonjee comes from the seeds of the Nigella sativa plant. They are small, triangular black seeds with a peppery, onion-like flavour.

In Indian cooking, they are sprinkled on naan, parathas, and pickles. In Middle Eastern cuisine, they are used in spice mixes and breads. They also hold a special place in Ayurveda and Unani medicine.
