Kala Jeera, Caraway Seeds, Shahi Jeera, Jeeragam, TRS, 50g

Kala jeera is a spice which is popular in Northern Indian cuisine. It is used to flavor meat and rice dishes, with a distinct rich, nutty, slightly grassy taste. Kala jeera is also known as black cumin, which can be confusing, since several other seeds are also called “black cumin.” The seeds are also pressed to yield an essential oil which is used in some traditional medicinal practices. Kala jeera is said to be particularly helpful for digestive issues. Kala jeera may be baked into breads, added to curry pastes and blends, or steamed with rice to give it a distinctive scent, especially in Northern Indian food.

1. Pressure-cook the lentils with 5 times water for 10 mins in low flame. Please note that we are not adding anything else to it. Not even salt. The Dal needs to be cooked till its soft and almost mashed. If the dal remains hard it completely upsets the balance.
