AWAFI MILL Khar Jeera – Black Cumin (Caraway) Seeds (Carum carvi) | Warm, Nutty–Anise Seeds for Tadka and Tempering, Breads, Pickles, Cabbage/Beans, Cheese and Spice Blends - 100 g | 3.5 Oz

AWAFI MILL Khar Jeera (Black Cumin/Caraway) Seeds are genuine Carum carvi—a fragrant spice with nutty–anise warmth that works across breads, pickles, vegetables, legumes, and spice blends. Toast lightly for a deeper, rounded profile, or bloom in oil for instant aroma in tadka, achar, and tempering. Fold ground seeds into rye and whole-wheat doughs, scatter over roasted roots and potatoes, or mix into ferments and brines for a clean, appetizing finish. Versatile and concentrated, these seeds deliver big character in small amounts.

Step-by-Step Usage Instructions

Quick Tempering: Heat oil/ghee → add ½ tsp caraway → sizzle 10–20 seconds until aromatic → proceed with onions/veg or pickle base.

Dry-Roast & Grind: Roast 1–2 minutes on low until fragrant → cool → grind → add ¼–½ tsp to doughs, rubs, and seasoning salts.

Bread Dough: For a 500 g flour loaf, knead in 1–2 tsp lightly crushed seeds; pair with rye/whole wheat for classic bakery flavor.

Veg & Beans: Toss hot roasted potatoes/cabbage/beans with ghee/olive oil + crushed caraway + lemon; finish with herbs and salt.

Ferments/Pickles: Add 1–2 tsp whole seeds per 1 L brine for cucumbers, carrots, or kraut to infuse gentle herbal-sweet depth.
