Nigella seeds are healthy and full of flavor, and can be used in savory and sweet cooking. If you’ve not used these little black seeds before, check out these three suggestions of ways to use them in your cooking.
Nigella Seed Flatbreads
Nigella seeds are often scattered over naan breads, and help to deliver that aromatic, slightly bitter flavor. If you’re cooking flatbreads in a skillet, why not scatter over some nigella seeds as the bread cooks, to deliver extra flavor and texture?
Nigella Seed Cookies
Bring a little crunch to your cookies by stirring in 1/4 cup of nigella seeds into the batter before kneading and rolling out. The seeds add a lovely intense flavor, and go really well with lemon and dark chocolate.
Curries And Dahls
Frying a tablespoon of nigella seeds in butter, oil or ghee can really intensify the flavors of your curry or dahl. Add other spices, such as cinnamon, turmeric and garam masala, to create a delicious and authentic dish.
Nigella seeds may be small, but they pack a mighty punch in terms of color, flavor and texture. Try them in your savory and sweet cooking, for a satisfying burst of flavor.
