My understanding is that it goes best with chana dal, and pumpkin also goes well (chana dal and pumpkin are quite suitable anyway). This is what I've heard, confirmed by my own booking, but I don't know if that's any more than the opinion of a few people. --Singkong200508:35, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Nigella is very strongly flavored, and I thought it was only about 1/3 as much as the other ingredients. If it were the same amount, as stated in the article, the nigella taste would be overpowering. Just my observation. --Singkong200508:35, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Some people, including myself and the guy at my local Indian shop, find fenugreek seeds bitter (though just in the seeds - the rest of the dish is fine) and prefer to make it with just mustard, cumin and nigella. Is this because we're cooking it wrongly, or just a matter of taste? (I'm thinking of trying powdered fenugreek.) --Singkong200508:35, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
