kale jire

[Marathi]

Nigella. It is often confused with black cumin because the name "kala jeera" actually translates as black cumin. These are the small, black, bitter seeds of a relative of "love-in-a-mist". Nigella is often incorrectly called wild onion seeds or black onion seed. It is used in northern India.
