Roasted Cumin Powder (Bhuna Jeera Powder)
Roasted Cumin Powder (Bhuna Jeera Powder)
Roasted cumin powder is highly aromatic and has a more intense flavor than regular (unroasted) cumin. It’s slightly nutty and adds a unique flavor to recipes. If a recipe calls for roasted cumin powder, do not substitute it with regular cumin as you won’t get the right flavor. You can sprinkle this directly onto a dish or onto yogurt for more flavor.
