Black raisins, or kali kishmish
Black raisins are dark grapes dried until they shrink and wrinkle. In Hindi they are called kali kishmish, and in Tamil karuppu ular thiratchai. They are smaller and darker than golden raisins, with a deeper, slightly tangy sweetness. Ours are sold with no added sugar and no preservatives.
Black raisins and munakka are not the same
Munakka is a large raisin, usually with seeds, sold separately in many shops. Black raisins are the smaller dark kind. If a recipe asks for munakka specifically, it is worth looking for it; for kheer, pulao and soaking, black raisins work well.
Black raisins for iron?
Many people search for black raisins for iron. Plenty of families give a few soaked black raisins as a traditional morning snack, but if you are looking for iron, talk to your doctor; we don’t make health claims, and the nutrition table further down this page is the sourced reference.
How Indian kitchens use black raisins
- Soaked overnight — eight to ten raisins in a small cup of water, eaten in the morning with the water.
- Kheer and payasam — fried in ghee with cashews until they puff up, then stirred in.
- Pulao and biryani — a few fried raisins for sweetness in each spoonful.
- Laddus and halwa — mixed into rava laddu, besan laddu or carrot halwa.
- Cakes and chutneys — plumped in warm water, then folded in.
Black raisins or figs?
Both are soaked overnight in many homes. Dried figs (anjeer) are larger and chewier; black raisins are smaller and go straight into cooking. Black raisins are naturally sweet, so keep portions small and count them among the day’s sweet things rather than as a free snack. Needs vary; check with your doctor or a dietitian, especially if you have a medical condition. We don’t make health claims on this page.
Storage and shelf life
It comes in a plastic pouch; move it to an airtight jar once opened and keep the jar in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and the stove. Always use a dry spoon or dry hands. Shelf life is roughly three months, so pick a pack size you will finish in that time. Raisins can clump in humid weather; separate them with your fingers.
