Kala Jeera's Hindi name, shahi jeera, means “Imperial cumin”.

Traditionally, Kala Jeera is used in sauces, curries and Indian rice dishes. It can also be used in small amounts to enhance the flavor of meats, soups and stews. Kala Jeera should not be confused with regular cumin or the unrelated Nigella.
