I love using Nigella in masala potatoes....which I then stuff into a dosa.....like India's answer to a burrito.

Just don't let the seeds loose- a pretty plant, but it can be astonishingly persistent in the garden.

Seed or Lawson? (Haha!)

Ha ha ha -- great minds think alike -- I was so tempted to say "seed not Lawson", but figured not, let's see how many folks will comment of the possibilities...

hahahaha I had the same thought.

I've never used nigella seeds. But I love Nigella Lawson! And she uses nigella seeds (of course)! Here's a potato recipe of hers that sounds deliciously potato-y and crunchy. http://www.cookingchanneltv.com/recipes/nigella-lawson/potatoes-with-whole-spices.html

Groan. I was so self-disciplined, resisted the pun, then you all (well, all three) jumped in. So here is a real recipe with, I mean from, Nigella. Tastes good, too - I make it in rotation with a few others (basic, with black beans, with blue cheese, with lemon & labeneh).

2) As the top dusting when making Challah (variation from the more usual sesame or poppy.
