Cumin Powder is a foundational North Indian spice made from ground dry cumin seeds — where freshness, aroma, and purity define quality. Unlike generic blends that add starch or filler seeds, this is pure cumin — ground fresh, not stockpiled.
It is a base spice, used in almost every Indian dish — from dals to curries to chutneys.
Key characteristics: • Fine, smooth texture — no grit, ideal for even dispersion • Visible specks of whole seed fragments — indicates minimal processing • Aroma: Earthy, warm, with a hint of nuttiness — not dusty or stale • Taste: Mildly pungent, earthy, with a slight bitterness when raw — mellows with heat
Best used in: • Dal Tadka • Curry Gravies (chicken, paneer, vegetable) • Marinades (for tikka, kebabs) • Chutneys (coconut, mint, onion) • Rice Dishes (pulao, biryani)
Pro Tip: Always store cumin powder in an airtight container away from light and heat. Use within 3 months of opening for peak aroma. For best results, buy small quantities frequently — freshness fades faster than other spices.
Most market cumin powders suffer from:
• Addition of husk, dust, or filler seeds
• Use of maida or starch to prevent clumping
• Over-processing or storage in loose warehouses (moisture → mold)
• Blending just before packaging (no freshness lock)
EarthSpice Cumin Powder delivers:
• 100% Dry Cumin Seeds — no husk, no dust, no fillers
• No maida, no anti-caking agents — natural flow from controlled moisture (<8%)
• Small-batch ground — within 48 hours of quality check, not stockpiled
• Hygienically packed — moisture-sealed, light-blocked packaging to preserve freshness for 12 months
• Batch-traceable — batch number and manufacturing date printed on every pack
This recipe follows the same standards as our INA Delhi shop — pure, simple, and trusted for over 30 years.

Dal Tadka: Temper in hot ghee with mustard seeds and coriander for depth
Curry Gravies: Add at the beginning to build base flavor
Marinades: Mix with yogurt and ginger-garlic for chicken or paneer
Chutneys: Blend with coconut, mint, or onion for fresh sauces
Rice Dishes: Stir into rice layers before dum for fragrance
Dish Examples:
Butter Chicken (base flavor)
Sambar (essential spice)
Paneer Tikka Marinade
Coconut Chutney
Vegetable Pulao
Key Insight: This is a base spice — it should be added early in cooking to infuse fully. Adding post-cooking yields flat, surface-level flavor.

Health-conscious users — no hidden additives, no MSG, no fillers
Vegetarians — essential for dals, curries, and chutneys
Store in an airtight container, preferably glass or metal
Keep in a cool, dry place away from light and heat
Use a dry spoon only — moisture causes clumping
Best used within 3 months of opening for peak aroma
Shelf life: 12 months from manufacturing date (clearly printed on pack)
Note: Clumping does not indicate spoilage. Break apart with a spoon. The absence of anti-caking agents means no silica or maida in your food.
100g is ideal because:
• Sufficient for 4–6 weeks of daily cooking (1 tsp per day = 30–45 days supply)
• Prevents waste — aroma fades gradually after 4 months
• Economical for a premium, small-batch product
• Fits standard spice drawer without bulk
Our Cumin Powder contains only one ingredient:
• Cumin Seeds 100%
There is no maida, no husk, no dust, no fillers, no artificial additives. We believe in full transparency — if it’s not on the label, it’s not in the jar. This blend was designed to deliver pure, fresh cumin aroma using only this single ingredient.
No sugar. Cumin has a mild, earthy taste — not sugary. For sweeter dishes:
• Add 1 tsp sugar or jaggery per serving
• Use full-fat milk — enhances perceived sweetness
• Increase to 1.5 tsp for stronger flavor
No. Cumin is balanced for everyday use — its earthy notes enhance, not dominate. If concerned:
• Start with ½ tsp instead of 1
• Add extra lemon juice to brighten
• Avoid synthetic spice blends in finishing
Yes. Works exceptionally well for:
• Coconut chutney (blend with coconut, green chili, salt)
• Mint chutney (blend with mint, onion, lemon)
• Yogurt-based marinades (mix with ginger-garlic and yogurt)
Use 1 tsp per 200g solid ingredient. Rest 30 minutes minimum.
Fresh cumin powder has a bright, earthy aroma — not dusty or flat. If your dish is bland:
• Simmer time was insufficient — minimum 5 minutes for full infusion
• Water quantity was too high — reduce by 25% next time
• Cumin powder was stored improperly — keep in cool, dark place
If the powder smells sour or looks grey, send a photo via WhatsApp. We will replace it immediately.
