    Description

    Kala til brings a nutty flavour and a dark little flourish to the plate. Toast the seeds gently for chutney, chikki or til ladoo, or scatter them over breads and stir-fries. Grind them when you want a richer sesame base. That final sprinkle earns its place beyond just looking good.

    About its origins

    Black til is grown in regions including Tamil Nadu. Its dark seeds bring nutty flavour, colour and a little crunch to sweets, chutneys and savoury cooking.

    Toast by smell. You cannot see it brown.

    How to use
    1. Toast the seeds gently in a dry pan, stirring often, until fragrant without letting them burn.
    2. Let toasted seeds cool before grinding into chutney or mixing into a sweet filling.
    3. Sprinkle whole seeds over rice, vegetables or bread dough when you want a little texture.

    Quick tip: Black sesame gives few colour clues as it toasts. Stir often and use the fragrant, nutty smell as your cue to stop.

    Use it in

    • Til and jaggery sweets
    • Black sesame chutneys and spice powders
    • Bread, crackers and savoury doughs
    • Rice bowls and roasted vegetables

    Taste test

    What does it actually taste like?

    Flavour

    Nutty with a slight bitter edge, becoming rounder in flavour when the seeds are toasted.

    Aroma

    A gentle seed aroma that becomes noticeably nuttier with light roasting.

    Form

    Small, dark whole seeds that add a delicate bite to food.

    Spice level

    No chilli heat. Black sesame brings a nutty taste rather than heat; any chilli kick comes from the other ingredients you add.

    Product FAQs

    A few things you may want to know

    Still have a question? Talk to us.
    Do black sesame seeds need to be toasted?

    No, but a gentle toast makes their nutty aroma more noticeable. Stir often and remove them from the hot pan before they burn.

    Can I grind them into chutney?

    Yes. Cool the toasted seeds before grinding, then blend with your chosen chutney ingredients and add water gradually to control the texture.

    Can I use them instead of white sesame?

    Many recipes allow either, but black sesame changes the appearance of the finished dish. Use the type named in a recipe when colour matters.

    Will the seeds add crunch to rice?

    Yes. Whole seeds give a little texture when sprinkled over cooked rice. Grinding them first spreads the flavour more evenly instead.

    How can I use them in baking?

    Sprinkle them over bread before baking or mix them into dough. Follow your recipe for the amount so the seed texture stays balanced.

    How spicy is it?

    Black sesame brings a nutty taste rather than heat; any chilli kick comes from the other ingredients you add.
