What Is Timur Pepper?
Timur is a Himalayan spice related to Sichuan pepper, prized for its citrusy aroma and gentle tingling effect.
What it tastes like
Timur is not simply a hotter form of black pepper. It brings bright citrus notes, floral aroma and a light numbing sensation that can sharpen chutneys and savory fillings.
How to use it
A little goes a long way. Toasting briefly and grinding fresh can make the aroma more noticeable; use it in chutneys, spice mixes and dishes where a citrusy pepper note makes sense.
