Natco Cumin Seeds
Description
Cumin seeds, also known as cumin or jeera, are the small, dried, ridged seeds of a herbaceous umbellifer Cuminum cyminum, indigenous to Egypt. Cumin seeds have a noticeable aroma and a distinctive warm, earthy taste with bitter notes.
Cumin is a global spice, used in cuisines around the world including Indian, Latin American and Middle Eastern. In Indian cookery, cumin is a core spice, used in spice mixtures including garam masala and Bengal’s panchpuran.
A simple, effective way to enhance cumin’s flavour is to dry-roast the seeds before cooking by heating them gently in dry frying pan, stirring now and then, until fragrant. Use cumin seeds in curries, stews, tarka dals and pickles.
Draw inspiration from the Dutch habit of using cumin to flavour Gouda, by adding dry-fried cumin seeds to rich, savoury cheese biscuits or use dry-fried cumin and chopped fresh mint to lassi, the Indian natural yoghurt drink.

Content | Cumin seeds, also known as cumin or jeera, are the small, dried, ridged seeds of a herbaceous umbellifer Cuminum cyminum, indigenous to Egypt. Cumin seeds have a noticeable aroma and a distinctive warm, earthy taste with bitter notes. Cumin is a global spice, used in cuisines around the world including Indian, Latin American and Middle Eastern. In Indian cookery, cumin is a core spice, used in spice mixtures including garam masala and Bengal’s panchpuran. A simple, effective way to enhance cumin’s flavour is to dry-roast the seeds before cooking by heating them gently in dry frying pan, stirring now and then, until fragrant. Use cumin seeds in curries, stews, tarka dals and pickles. Draw inspiration from the Dutch habit of using cumin to flavour Gouda, by adding dry-fried cumin seeds to rich, savoury cheese biscuits or use dry-fried cumin and chopped fresh mint to lassi, the Indian natural yoghurt drink. | Chana masala is a classic Indian spice mix. Of all the world’s great cuisines, Indian cuisine is characterised by the use of spices, with different spicing used to create an extraordinary and diverse range of flavours. The word ‘masala’, in fact, means ‘spice mixture’, with different regions of India known for their specific masala or spice mixtures which characterise certain dishes. Chana masala is a convenient, ready-to-use mixture of spices, including aromatic star anise and cardamom, tangy mango powder and numerous others, designed specifically for use with chick peas or yellow pea dal, to which it adds a tasty, spicy kick. Ingredients: Pomegranate, cardamon, cinnamon, star anise, roasted cloves, coriander, dry green chillies, cumin, mango powder, black pepper, fenugreek, ginger, fennel, salt. | Panchpuran, also known as panchphoron or Bengali five spice, is a traditional spice mixture from Bengal in north-east India. The word panch means ‘five’ in Hindi and, incidentally, is the root word for the alcoholic drink punch, which was made from five ingredients. The five spices which make up this whole spice (as opposed to ground spice) version of panchpuran are green fennel seeds, black mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds, cumin seeds and nigella (kalwanji or kalonji) seeds, a combination with a distinctive flavour. Panchpuran is often used to flavour dals, simply fried in oil or ghee to bring out its aromas, then poured hot into the dal, to which it adds textural interest as well as taste. It is a core spice in Bengali cooking, traditionally used with vegetables and pulses, to which it adds a characteristically Bengali flavour. Ingredients: Fenugreek, kalwanji seeds, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, fennel seeds. Contains mustard. | Sun Brand madras curry powder is of such high quality that it was one of the first curry powders to be exported from India. Sun Brand madras curry powder is expertly blended from 16 spices to give a huge depth of flavour with medium heat. To make the base for a classic curry, add 1-2 tablespoons of madras curry powder to a frying pan with oil, diced onions and crushed garlic. Fry and stir until the spices are intensely fragrant, then add chopped tomatoes or coconut milk to make the sauce. You can also mix Sun Brand madras curry powder into natural yoghurt to make an aromatic marinade for chicken or lamb. Thread chunks of the marinated meat onto skewers and grill or barbecue for an effortless meal. Just a pinch will transform vegetable dishes, or even shake into soups for warmth and an exciting burst of flavour. This 125g tin is ideal for home store cupboards. A larger 500g tin of Sun Brand madras curry powder is also available. Sun Brand is made by Merwanjee Poonjiajee & Sons, who have been making chutney and curry in Bombay (now called Mumbai) since 1876. These chutneys and curry powders were such high quality that they were among the first of their kind to be exported from India. Sun Brand products are still made using traditional recipes that have been handed down in the Merwanjee and Poonjiajee families for generations. Ingredients: coriander, turmeric, chilli, garlic, cumin, fennel, bay leaf, salt, fenugreek, mustard, pepper, dry mango, ginger, cloves, cinnamon, gram (lentil powder).
