Sahara Timmur Whole 100g – Nepali Sichuan Pepper

Sahara Timmur Whole 100g is an authentic Nepali Sichuan pepper — a whole, dried spice with a sharp, citrusy bite and the signature tingling sensation no chilli can match. Roast and grind it yourself to control the texture and strength, or crush it into achar, chutneys and grilled meats.

Why you'll want it

• Whole for freshness. Grind fresh as you need it, so the numbing citrus notes stay lively.
• The real Nepali flavour. A sharper, more fragrant bite than the Chinese Sichuan variety.
• A little goes a long way. Start with a small pinch; its numbing effect builds as it sits.
