Finsa Bikaneri papad
Moong dal papad flecked with whole cumin seed

Moong jeera papad

Roasted cumin through moong dal.

Cumin worked through a moong dal base. It reads as warm rather than hot, which is why it is the papad that gets put out when nobody knows who at the table minds chilli.

About this one.

The seed goes in whole, so you see it in the round and get it in bursts instead of a flat wash of flavour. Roasting lifts it further, and a roasted jeera papad will scent a room faster than anything else we make.

It is the usual second pack in a shop after sada, and the two sell together more often than not.

Made from

Moong dal, cumin and salt. The full ingredient declaration, batch details and the FSSAI mark are printed on every pack. We do not publish a declaration on the website, because the pack in your hand is the one that counts.

How to cook it.

  1. Roast it. Flame roasting is what brings the cumin up, and frying flattens it.
  2. Low flame, turning constantly, ten to fifteen seconds a side.
  3. Break it over a bowl of dal chawal, or eat it whole with tea.
