Often times the roasted cumin powder is used as a quick sprinkle in very little amount on salads, curries, soups and condiments. There is nothing fancy about it, but dry roasting the everyday cumin brings in a lovely smoky flavor which is not usually found in the regular cumin or powdered cumin.<\/p>\n

Roasted Cumin Powder<\/em><\/h2>\n


\n<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. 2 Tablespoons Cumin Seeds<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n


    \n<\/strong><\/em>
    \nMethod:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

    In a pan add the cumin seeds and roast at medium heat till they are a darker shade of brown and fragrant. Please watch and do not allow the seeds to turn dark brown. Immediately remove from heat and let it cool.<\/p>\n

    Grind into fine powder.<\/p>\n

    This can be stored in the airtight containers for a couple of months.[I grind it in the dry coffee grinder. It can also be done with a rolling pin on cutting board].<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
