Rajah Jeera comes in an 800g pack, a good stock size for households that cook Indian dishes regularly. Used little and often, it keeps a busy kitchen supplied for months rather than weeks. Jeera is the everyday name for cumin seeds, a whole spice with a warm, earthy aroma. The seeds are small, ridged and light brown, ready to use straight from the pack without any grinding needed unless a recipe calls for it. In real home cooking, jeera is most often used for tempering. A spoonful dropped into hot oil or ghee crackles and releases its flavour before onions, garlic or other spices go in, forming the base for dals, curries and vegetable dishes. It also goes into rice dishes like jeera rice, and can be dry-roasted and added to raitas or chutneys. Once opened, keep the seeds in an airtight container, away from direct light and heat, to help the aroma last. A cool, dry cupboard is ideal. Because the pack is generous, it suits anyone who tempers spices most days or cooks in larger batches for the freezer.
