Tried black cumin seeds today for the first time, they taste very similar to black cardomon, which I also dislike.
Hi Meggeth
Black cummin and black cardamon have similar smokey tastes
But either of them should be used very sparingly
Just a tiny amount or they dominate and ruin dishes
Two places I know use black cummin in their pillau rice
But just a touch
If they are subtle they are very very nice
For the quantities of my home use, one pack of black cummin, will last me probably 5 years
Black cardamon goes into garam masala too
And that spice is widely used in many BIR dishes
