Zingy Cumin Tadka - Single Origin Spice Blend
Description
We teamed up with the home cooking superstars from the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen to bring you three essential kitchen blends that take dishes from meh to OMG-I-need-seconds-right-now. Frying or "blooming" spices in hot fat unlocks their full flavor. It’s a technique used across South Asian culinary traditions, and tadkas vary by region and the dish.
This version balances earthy cumin and citrusy coriander with a triple-threat zing from wild hing, peppercorns, and Cobanero chili flakes. Sizzle 1 Tbsp of this blend in 4 Tbsp hot ghee or oil until it sputters and hisses, then spoon over soups, roasted vegetables, yogurt, cottage cheese or any protein for effortless flavor and pops of texture.
Ingredients: Coriander, cumin, cardamom, black pepper, black mustard, tomato powder, Cobanero chili flakes, garlic powder, kosher salt, wild hing
Cooking Tips: Sizzle 1 Tbsp of the blend in 4 Tbsp of hot ghee or oil and cook until it sputters and hisses Adds crunch and flavor to soups and stews
