Roasted Ground Cumin
(Bhuna hua Jeera)
YIELD: 1 CUP (237 ML)
Roasting and grinding your own cumin
is so easy you’ll never have to
purchase the ground version of this
spice again. I call this getting double
duty from your spices—it’s a way to
save money and use up cumin seeds
that might be tucked away in the back
of your cabinet. The roasted powder is
used on all sorts of savories, from
yogurts (raitas) to Indian snacks called
chaat. It can also be used to put a new
twist on a stew or any main dish.
