Notes
Homemade roasted cumin powder recipe:
All you need to do is heat a pan over low heat, add cumin seeds and roast for 10-15 minutes. Stirring constantly. Once the cumin seeds become fragrant and toasted, remove from heat and continue stirring to prevent them from burning. Once they’ve cooled down, grind them into powder. I like to do this in a coffee/spice grinder! And just like that, you have homemade roasted cumin powder! Store in an airtight jar – I like to reuse my empty store-bought spice jars.
