Bear in mind they're not real onion seeds, so don't try your local nurseryman/garden centre !  They are properly called "Kaloonji", and are the dried seeds of Nigella. Obtainable from Amazon if all else fails, but post-free on Ebay.

haha yeah I know Phil, was wondering if any of the big supermarket chains sell them

cheers for that, where can u buy onion seeds from? do asda or morrisons sell them do you know?

Not sure about Asda or Morrisons but mine are nigella seeds from my local indian place. I wouldn't worry to much if you can't get them as i would quite happily make them without them if I didn't have them

Quite surprised that you would want to make these, Gaz, given your history with H4ppy

Probably not yet -- we'll have to wait until Desi open in opposition to Aldi and Lidl ...

hahaha, yeah I get your point with my history with him, however hats off to him for the Nan bread recipe and the video, as I said it was very well documented, still waiting on the holy grail of the E-book though lol

Made a batch of dough this morning using half the sugar. Only put the dough in the fridge for 4 hours and then balled it and on a board with bag over for a couple of hours. Made a plain one and 2 garlic and coriander and they're still good. Couldn't really tell the difference from leaving the dough over night. Had them with a a Chicken Ceylon based on Chewy's madras and plain basmati which kept me in the missus's good booksi. Rest of balls now in freezer.

How did they taste with half the sugar, Gav? A few people have commented on the sweetness.
