Buy Chironji
Chironji is an ancient, native spice known and used almost exclusively in India. It's related to the nut family, and flavour could be described closest to sweet almonds crossed and a texture like a soft pinenut. They can be eaten raw, but toasting is often preferred. Chironji is extremely high in natural fats and thus very difficult to grind into a powder without turning into a thick paste. As a result, they are commonly use as a thickener in Indian pastries, pudding-like desserts, savoury sauces and batter. One of the most well known uses is in making rich, meaty Kormas due to the subtle sweet flavour.
Special Note: Chironji is extremely perishable and must be stored in the fridge / freezer to avoid spoiling.
Also known as Charoli, Buchanania lanzan

Our spices will have variations in size and colour due to factors such as the amount of sunlight they received when growing, or the amount of rainfall in a particular season. These differences in appearance are entirely normal, and are the result of not treating them with any chemicals, reducing unnecessary hand selection, and minimizing waste.
