Kaffir Lime Leaves: Kaffir Lime Leaves are from a lime tree that grows in Asia. The leaves themselves look like two leaves that have grown from end to end. Photo to the right. The actual fruit is very bitter and usually the rind is used for cooking. The Kaffir Lime tree is native to Asia but will grow in a similar climate. Somewhat hard to come by in the United States, the leaves can be found in Asian food stores. Very fragrant floral aroma when bruised, and lends a distinct lemony flavor to lighter meats such as fish and chicken. Use Kaffir Lime Leaves fresh in white wine or rice wine reductions to add a citrus flavor. Much the same way a bay leaf would be used. Use the rind of the fruit in cooking the same as you would with other citrus rind. The Kaffir Lime Fruit juice is to bitter for many peoples taste.

Kala Jeera: Known as black cumin because of the shape of the seed (not the flavor). Kala jeera is used in small amounts because of its exotic, flowery flavor.

Kalonji: Kalonji are black, tear-drop shaped onion seeds. Kalonji are a favorite ingredient of Bengali cuisine and often appear in vegetable dishes and sprinkled over Nan bread.
