Jodhpur Cumin Seeds | Aromatic Whole Rajasthani Jeera

These Jodhpur cumin seeds (jeera) are grown in the semi-arid sandy loam of Rajasthan. Dry weather and strong sunshine give this jeera a strong aroma and a bold, earthy flavour. Buy cumin seeds online in 40 g, 100 g or 250 g packs, picked when ripe and packed close to the farm.

Why buy our cumin seeds online

• Single-origin: these cumin seeds come from Rajasthan and are sold as Jodhpur cumin.
• Harvested when ripe: the cumin is harvested at peak freshness.
• Packed near the farm: packing close to the source keeps the volatile oils inside the cumin.
• Whole seeds: compared with ground cumin, whole jeera keeps its aroma for longer.

How to use jeera

• Tadka for dal, kadhi, sambar, rasam and vegetable curries.
• Jeera rice, Rajasthani dal baati churma, pav bhaji and rogan josh.
• Dry-roast and grind for homemade garam masala, chaat masala or jaljeera.
• One of the five seeds in panch phoron.

For the fullest flavour, toast or dry-roast whole jeera just before you use them. Within seconds in hot ghee they turn smoky and nutty, and that is the moment to add the rest of the dish.

Pack sizes and storage

Choose the 40 g pack to try this jeera for the first time. The 100 g pack suits everyday tadka in most homes. The 250 g pack is the biggest size, the one to pick if you cook with jeera daily or grind your own masalas. Store cumin seeds whole in an airtight container away from sunlight and moisture, and grind only what you need.

Pairs well with
