cumin seeds recipes | Indian jeera recipes | Jeera or cumin seed is an ancient Indian spice, which has been used since the Vedic times. Ayurveda prescribes jeera as a remedy for several health problems. So wise were our grannies that they decided to add it to their spice box and use it in everyday cooking, to ensure its sustained health benefits to the family.
In Tamil, jeera is referred to as jeeragam or seeragam. In that ancient language, “Seer Agam” means inner wellness, and the wise say that is probably why the spice was named so!
From digestion to weight loss and detox, cumin has a battery of benefits to its credit. And fortunately for all food lovers, it also has a fabulous taste and aroma, and can be put to good use in the Indian kitchen.
Indian Recipes Using Jeera
An Indian spice box without jeera is obviously incomplete. It is hard to cook even one proper Indian meal without this spice because it is so intricately woven with our cuisine.

Indian sabzis, dals, rice using jeera
Main Course: Be it breakfast, lunch or dinner, jeera is used to flavour most of the Indian dishes we make, ranging from curries to dals and rice too.
However, there are a few recipes like Aloo Jeera, Jeera-Pepper Rasam and Jeera Rice, in which the spice takes to the centre stage rather than being a behind-the-scenes helper! Think jeera, and appetite is the first word that comes to mind. So, on days when you are feeling down the weather, go for a jeera-based recipe to boost your appetite and aid digestion.
Now this is one ingredient you do not need to go shopping specially for, as we are sure you will have a jarful at home! Make sure you use a good dose of it in your cooking, because grannies feel it is as effective as apple in keeping doctors away.
