Ingredient overview

Kabab chini is an aromatic whole spice traditionally used in selected kebab masalas, rich gravies and complex spice blends.

Taste and aroma

Peppery and warm with woody, slightly sweet aromatic notes distinct from ordinary black pepper.

Where it works well

• Add sparingly to kebab and meat masalas
• Combine with other whole spices in rich gravies
• Toast gently before grinding into a custom blend

Getting the best from it

Use a small amount and taste the finished blend; its fragrance can become dominant. Remove whole pieces before serving when used for infusion.

Storage

Store whole in an airtight jar and grind only as needed. Protect it from humidity and heat to preserve its aromatic oils.
