“Jeera” is the Nepali word for cumin (Cuminum cyminum). It’s a popular spice in Indian cooking and is used in a variety of ways, much like cumin seeds. The flavor of jeera is earthy, warm, and slightly nutty, with a hint of citrus and bitterness, which adds depth to many dishes.
Here are some common uses for jeera (cumin seeds) in Nepali cooking:
- Tempering (Tadka): Jeera is often used in tadka, where whole seeds are fried in hot oil or ghee, releasing their aroma. This tempering is then added to dishes like dals, curries, and soups for flavor.
- Rice: Jeera rice, a simple dish made by cooking rice with cumin seeds and sometimes ghee, is a common side dish in Indian meals.
- Spice Blends: It is a key ingredient in spice blends like garam masala, curry powder, and chole masala.
- Ground Cumin: Ground jeera (cumin powder) is used in spice mixes, curries, chutneys, and in rubs for meats or vegetables.
