I was wondering if anyone uses the nigella seed for cooking?
Some call it kalonji or munga reala in Hindi.
I have not tasted it as yet ( a recipe is calling for the seeds); As I am told via a web lookup: The black seeds
taste like a combination of onions, black pepper and oregano, and have a bitterness to them like mustard seeds.
I was wondering if it too comes in a powder. The bitter taste would be ideal for ayurvedic purposes.
Any users of this particular seed?
Here is the plant itself.
