Add 1 teaspoon to the dal or sabji serving four people. Use a quarter teaspoon in raita. 1 teaspoon for the thepla dough. Hathi Masala's separate grinding preserves the full oil content, so the flavor is stronger, and you may need slightly less than with regular.

What makes Hathi Masala Dhana Jeera different from other brands?

What Is Special Coriander Cumin Powder?

Coriander-Cumin Powder is also known as Dhana Jeeru Powder in Gujarati and Dhana Jeera Powder in Hindi. It is a dry spice mixture of ground coriander (dhana) and cumin (jeera) seeds. It is the single most used spice blend in Traditional Indian home cooking. The volatile citrus oil linalool is the active compound in coriander. Cuminaldehyde is the active compound in cumin that gives your dishes a warm, woody aroma. These two spices create the earthy-citrus flavor for every Indian dal, sabzi, and curry.

Sourcing and Origin

Hathi Masala sourced good-quality coriander seeds from the trusted farmers across Rajasthan and cumin seeds from the farmers in Gujarat. Both of them are among India's most respected producing regions for these spices. The dry climate and light sandy soil of Rajasthan produce coriander seeds with strong essential oils and clean citrus notes. Gujarat is one of the largest cumin-growing states in India. It’s known for producing cumin with a warm fragrance and high levels of the aromatic compound. That gives it its fragrance and taste.

Both seeds are machine-cleaned to remove dust, stones, and impurities before grinding. Seeds that don’t meet the required standards are rejected before processing.

Why Separate Grinding Makes the Difference

Most dhana jeera powders are made by mixing both coriander and cumin seeds together and grinding them traditionally in a single pass.

Coriander seeds contain natural citrus essential oils that are damaged at the high speed needed to break down cumin's harder seed coat. Cumin contains earthy essential oils that need separate mill settings to extract properly. When you grind both together, one gets over-processed and the other under-processed. You lose the full aroma of at least one of them every time.

Hathi Masala grinds coriander and cumin seeds separately at their respective controlled temperatures using cold cryogenic grinding. Each spice keeps its natural oils completely. Once both are ground to the right consistency, they are blended at the correct 2:1 ratio. Every teaspoon you add to your cooking gives you the full, layered aroma of both spices.

How to Use Special Coriander Cumin Powder

Dal Tadka: Add 1 teaspoon of special dhana jeera powder to the hot oil or ghee before adding the tomatoes and onions. The essential oils in dhana jeera provide the beautiful earthy-citrus base that makes your dal taste complete.

Sabji: Mix 0.5-1 teaspoon with the onion-tomato masala while it cooks. Special Coriander Cumin Powder works perfectly in every vegetable sabji, from Batata Nu Shaak to Mix-Sabji and Aloo Gobi.

Gujarati Dal: Add 0.5 teaspoon into the dal while it simmers. Dhana Jeera Powder is an important flavour in Gujarati dal and can’t be changed with separate Dhana (coriander) or Jeera (cumin) powder.

Raita: Sprinkle a quarter to half teaspoon of the spice onto the fresh yogurt, then add a pinch of salt. It adds instant flavour depth without any cooking.

Buttermilk and Kadhi: Blend a pinch of the Dhana Jeera Powder into the buttermilk or yogurt base. It is the flavour note that makes homemade chaas and kadhi taste the way they should.
