ROASTED CUMIN SEED POWDER (BHUNA JEERA MASALA)

Roasted cumin seed powder (bhuna jeera masala) is a very versatile and easy to make powder at home. Bhuna jeera masala can be used in a variety of dishes to enhance the flavour. Bhuna jeera masala tastes really good in raitas, dahi vadas, butter milk, chaat, aam panna and many others.
I've learnt this from my mother and I just used to love the flavour of bhuna jeera masala on my dahi vadas. This bhuna jeera masala can be stored in an air tight container for a couple of months.

INGREDIENTS

1 tea spoon heeng (asafoetida)
2 table spoons jeera (cumin seeds)
2 tea spoons kali mirch (black pepper seeds)
1 tea spoon laung (cloves)

METHOD

For the bhuna jeera powder. Put heeng, jeera, kali mirch and laung on a tawa or iron griddle. Dry roast it till it turns light brown and you start getting a nice aroma. Switch off the gas, let it cool, grind it in a grinder and store it in an air tight container. Bhuna zeera powder can be stored easily for a few months. It can be used for raitas, buttermilk, dahi vadas, chaat and various other dishes to enhance the flavour.
