Black Cumin, commonly known as black zeera or kala jeera is a very popular spice in north Indian cuisine and is a basic ingredient in Kashmiri cuisine as well. Generally used to flavor meat and rice dishes, it has a distinctly rich, nutty and slightly peppery taste. The aroma of Kala zeera is strong and distinct; diffusing into the air, an aura of a typical Mediterranean Market (its native place other than India). Kala jeera is one of the essentials in Garam Masala and is usually available in the powdered form throughout the year. Kashmiri kala zeera is very rich in taste and smell as well. The small crescent-shaped zeera is generally dark brown and black in color. Zeera as such is used in cooking in raw as well as roasted form, both imparting a distinct flavor to the dish. The seeds may be baked into breads, added to curry pastes and blends, or steamed with rice to give it a distinctive scent.
