Ingredients: Cumin Seeds (100%).
Cumin, also known as jeera (जीरा) in Hindi, is the a must-have ingredient for Indian cuisine. These earthy, boat-shaped seeds have a warm, citrusy aroma with a hint of pepper and nuttiness.
Whole cumin seeds are a key element of tempering (tadka), a technique where spiced are sizzled in hot oil to release their flavours and setting the flavour base for curries like butter chicken, saagwala, and biryani. Cumin adds depth to lentil dishes like daal and is a key part of garam masala.
🍽️ How to use:
To unlock their flavour, heat oil or ghee in a pan. When hot, add the cumin seeds and watch for them to sizzle and turn fragrant - about 30 seconds. This is called tadka. Now add your onions, vegetables, or lentils and continue cooking as usual. The tadka infuses the dish with cumin's warm, earthy aroma.
