Wonderland Foods - Whole Spices Chironji Seeds 500g (250g X 2) Pouch | Almondette Kernels (Seeds) | Charoli

Though sometimes referred to as the "chironji nut" or "charoli nut", the fruit is actually a type of drupe rather than a true botanical nut. After the hard shell of the drupe is cracked, the stubby seed within is similar in texture to a pine nut. The charoli seed is around 0.6 centimetres (0.24 inches) in length, with a flavor resembling an almond or a pistachio. The seeds are used as a cooking spice, especially in Indian cuisine. Though they can be eaten raw, they are often toasted or roasted before use, as this intensifies the flavor of any nut or seed. They are commonly used in sweets in India, or ground into powders for thickening and flavoring savory sauces, batters and kormas.
