CUMIN WHOLE | JEERA - 500 gm

Jeera is whole cumin seed, also spelt zeera and called cumin seeds in English. The small, ridged, brownish seeds have a warm, earthy aroma that opens up as soon as they hit hot oil or ghee, which is why jeera is the first spice in so many Indian tadkas. Jeera is crackled in ghee for dal tadka, jeera rice and jeera aloo, and added to sabzi, kadhi, khichdi and pulao. Dry roasted and ground, it becomes bhuna jeera powder for raita, chaas, chaat and jaljeera. Whole cumin is also part of garam masala, panch phoron and many homemade masala blends. This whole jeera is supplied by SPNF Super FPO, a farmer producer organisation. Store it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to keep the aroma. Available in a 500 g pack.
