Ah, the fresh scent of cumin, with its strong, earthy aroma offering a beautiful layer of flavour to almost any dish. The spice is used in many world dishes, most notably in the Middle Eastern cuisine. Ground cumin powder is perfect for beautifully aromatic sauces and marinades, like our cumin and mint koftas, providing the backbone to other spice blends or simply sprinkling over salads for an intriguing edge.
Usage Tips
Ground cumin is wonderfully versatile, adding a bold depth of flavour to beans, pulses and other vegetarian ingredients. It can be lightly toasted before cooking to release whole new flavour landscapes, or simply sprinkled over dishes or salads before serving for an extra kick.
