The real siyah dana
This is the wild black cumin from Badakhshan that we could only get from family bringing it back. Smaller, darker, and more resinous than regular cumin. Essential for our Kabuli pulao.

Kala jeera with a piney, almost floral edge. We use it in a rice pilaf and a lamb rub. Nothing else in our spice room tastes like this.

Interesting and delicious spice. Took me a while to figure out how to use it (toast lightly, use less than regular cumin). Very fresh.
