The seeds on top of every good naan.
Black onion seeds are better known as nigella or kalonji. Despite the name, they are not onion seeds at all. They are small, dark seeds with a gently nutty, peppery flavour and a distinctive savoury edge that works beautifully with breads, dals, vegetables, chutneys and pickles.
This generous 1kg bulk bag gives you plenty for everyday cooking, baking and preserving. Use a pinch to finish naan before baking, briefly sizzle the seeds in hot oil to start a tarka, or scatter them over salads and roasted vegetables for contrast and crunch.

| Type | Organic black onion seeds, also known as nigella or kalonji |
| Brand | Supreme |
| Flavour | Nutty, peppery and gently savoury |
| Best for | Naan, tarka, vegetable dishes, salads and pickles |
| Suitable for | Vegan and vegetarian cooking |
For tarka and curries, add a small pinch to hot oil or ghee and let the seeds sizzle briefly until fragrant. Do not overcook them, as they can become bitter if left too long. For bread, press the seeds gently into the dough or sprinkle them over the top before baking. In cold dishes, use them as a finishing scatter over salads, yoghurt dips and roasted vegetables.
A little nigella goes a long way, but a large pack is worthwhile if you bake, pickle or cook with it regularly. The 1kg bag is a practical option for frequent home cooks, larger households and busy kitchens. Keep the pack tightly sealed in a cool, dry cupboard, and decant a small amount into a jar for everyday use.
