These Seeds are our beloved Prophet Muhammad's (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Aalehi Wa Sallam) one of the most loved from the list of ingredients or food items which included Seeds, Fruits, Vegetables, Oil etc. Rotis or Chapatis with Black or Nigella Seeds for Breakfast by me are a real treat to the tastebuds. However these can be made for Lunch or Dinner too. Extremely soft and supple. Healthy and wholesome too. And making these for meals is almost a daily routine in my house. Some like it simple without Oil or Ghee. Some like it with a generous brush of Oil while others want a lot of Ghee both in the dough while kneading it as well as while roasting them.
These Seeds have tremendous health benefits. They are packed with Protiens, Fibre, Iron, Calcium, Potassium etc. Rich in Vitamins A and B, these boost the immune system. Black Seed Oil is also equally awesome. Helps in reducing inflammations, boosts memory, improves Heart health, helps control Diabetes and Asthma. The benefits are innumerable. Make it a habit of using these in your daily dough preparation for the Rotis, Phulkas, Parathas etc.
These can be packed for Lunchbox too. And any dry or wet Curry goes very well alongside them.
A treat to our tastebuds as well as a helluva lot healthy and nutritious, these are extremely flavourful and aromatic too.
Happy Cooking with Zeen!
