Tried black cumin seeds today for the first time, after a few had said how much better they are than normal cumin seeds. All I can say is....

YEEUUUGGGHHHH!   

Really don't like the taste of them. Bought a whole bag of them, but have now thrown them away. Put just a small amount in the pilau rice. To me, they taste very similar to black cardomon, which I also dislike.

Isn't taste a strange thing?

are they not the same as onion seeds

Hey Littlechilie, Gav, london, fried, Madrasandy & chewytikka.    Thanks for all your welcome notes.   I haven't worked out how to reply to an individual post yet but working on it!   I wish I had this for dinner too.  My gas conversion kit for my Tandoor arrived yesterday so hoping to get out there this weekend.   I will be taking a few tips I've read from you guys for the marinade and base gravy and let you know how I got on.   Thanks a lot.

I'm not one for putting sugar in every curry I cook, as if this is is needed I think It's a sign that you've not cooked your base right. However, there are certain curries which I think benefit from some sweetness, chicken tikka masala being one.

Question... When you add sugar at the beginning of a curry, while frying the spices, does the sweetening effect of the sugar reduce the longer you fry it? I mean is it like making a roux where the longer you fry the flour the less thickening power it has?

a little sugar can help with acidity also

will do
