Nitra Cumin Powder (Jeera)
Shop Pantry EssentialsSize: 100 g
About this item
Warm, earthy ground jeera. Nitra Cumin Powder is finely ground jeera, the spice that gives raita, chaat and chaas their familiar savoury note.
Why cooks choose it
Ground cumin blends instantly into cold dishes as well as hot ones. It adds warm, earthy depth to curries and dry sabzis, and when lightly roasted it becomes bhuna jeera, the smoky finishing sprinkle for raita, chaat and buttermilk.
What to cook with it
- Jeera aloo (cumin potatoes)
- Cumin-spiced roasted carrots
- Boondi or cucumber raita
- Masala chaas and chaat
How to use
For bhuna jeera, toast a few tablespoons in a dry pan for a minute until a shade darker. Add raw cumin powder with other ground spices in curries.
Pack sizes
Available in 100 g, 400 g and 1 kg packs.
Storage
Keep airtight away from heat; store roasted cumin in a separate small jar.
