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!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
