Kalonji
Black cumin, (Nigella sativa), also known as black seed / black caraway / kalonji are used as a spice and in herbal medicine. The seeds have an aroma similar to fennel and have a pungent flavour somewhat similar to nutmeg, though the plant is not related to either. The seeds are commonly roasted and ground as a spice and are widely used in India, the Middle East, and parts of north Africa to season curries, rice, breads, and sweet confections. Black cumin is also important in traditional medicine in many places and is an esteemed herbal remedy for a wide variety of ailments. Black Cumin seeds are about the same size as sesame seeds, though they have a more triangular shape instead of oval shape.
