Onion Seeds: Versatile and Flavorful

Onion seeds, also known as black cumin or nigella seeds, are a culinary gem. Originating from the Latin word “niger,” meaning black, these seeds are also called Kalonji in India. They are renowned for their distinctive, mild flavor and are used across various cuisines.

Historical Use and Culinary Applications

With a history dating back to ancient Egypt, they have been a staple in global kitchens for centuries. In Indian cooking, these seeds are frequently used in Bengali dishes and with various breads like naan, flatbreads, and puris. Their flavor profile pairs exceptionally well with fish, prawns, and paneer. Although they don’t pop like mustard seeds, they release their robust flavor when gently infused in oil before adding other ingredients.
