Why Jeere-Meere?

jeere meere pronounced jeeerein meerein in Konkani ( language spoken in the Konkan coast of India) means cumin pepper. I am orginally from Goa, located on the West coast of India. Jeerein meerien is a term my Mom would often use when cooking. I remember her amazing Sorpotel, Green Chicken, Cutlets, Fish Curry, Rechaer Mackerels, Pulao, Chilli fry and much more. She never followed any recipe or measurements, it was always as she puts it /*andaz se*/ (personal judgement)
