Cumin is a flavorful and healthy spice and it has a very important place in Indian, Mexican, Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines. We use cumin seeds and roasted cumin powder in our everyday Indian cooking to enhance the flavor of the dish and improve digestion. This cumin powder or jeera powder can be made in bulk and store in an airtight container for about 6 months. You can use this spice powder to make lassi, curries, gravies, chaats, salads and raitas.

Few Recipes where you can use this Homemade Jeera Powder:

  • Mushroom Peas Butter Masala
  • Baingan Bharta
  • Shikanji
  • Peanut Chaat
  • Chana Chaat
If you are looking for more homemade spice blend recipes then do check Pav Bhaji Masala, Homemade Dhaniya Powder, Sandwich Masala and Amchoor.
