Shah Jeera, also known as Caraway seeds or Black Cumin, is a spice commonly used in Indian, Middle Eastern, and European cuisine. It has a pungent, slightly sweet, and earthy flavor and is often used in spice blends such as garam masala, chaat masala, and biryani masala. Shah Jeera is also used as a digestive aid and is believed to have medicinal properties.

The Chakki Co offers Shah Jeera in whole form, which is the preferred way of using it in cooking. The seeds can be lightly toasted in a dry pan to enhance their flavor before being added to dishes. Shah Jeera can be used to flavor curries, stews, rice dishes, and bread, and can also be used in pickling and chutneys. It pairs well with other spices such as coriander, cumin, and fennel seeds.
