Shahi Zeera

Kaala zeera

Shahi zeera is a different plant from the cumin in most kitchens — thinner, darker, curved, and strong enough that you use a third as much. It grows wild in the high meadows and is picked and cleaned by hand, which is most of what it costs.

The one spice that tells you whether a wazwan was cooked properly. A little goes a long way.

Rate on the day

Dry fruit is a crop, not a manufactured good — the rate moves with the season, the harvest and the quantity you take. We quote what it costs today rather than print a number we would have to keep correcting.
