Top Food Dhana Jeera/Jira Powder 1kg Pp

Dhana Jeera is basically a combination of roasted coriander seeds and cumin seeds. Some add turmeric to it some don’t. Dhana Jiru is used in every Gujarati home for all the dals, curries, shaaks/Sabjis (vegetables), and some snacks too. I cannot imagine making bhinda nu shaak(okra stir fried), Stuffed brinjal, Tuvar Dal, without dhana jiru. I like to make small batches so that the freshly ground spice powder adds much flavour to the dish. If you want to add turmeric then generally a small dried piece of it is added to the spices before grinding. I usually don’t add that as I prefer to add turmeric separately. It is so easy to make dhana jiru as the ratio is 1:¼. I of coriander and ¼ of  n, whatever you use for measuring.
