| Uses | Nigella seeds are used in India and the Middle East as a spice and condiment and occasionally in Europe as both a pepper substitute and a spice. Nigella is an ingredient of some garam masalas. In Asia, they are sprinkled on to naan bread before baking, used to top flatbreads in Turkey and in Eastern Europe are sprinkled on Jewish rye bread in place of caraway seeds. In the Middle East nigella seeds are added to bread dough. Peshawari naan is, as a rule, topped with Nigella seeds. The seeds can also be ground and added to water to create a gel. This gel is incredibly useful, it can be used as an egg replacement in gluten-free and flour-free baking. |
