Directions
-
Most indians do not buy the
-
stuff because it looses so much flavor (much like fresh ground pepper vs packaged ground pepper).
-
instead, what i do is to buy raw cumin (ask them to sell you good quality "zeera" if you go to an indian store).
-
to roast them, in a heavy skillet/frying pan, put in a handful (crushing them slightly by rubbing them between the palms of your two hands) and then over med-high
-
heat roast them dry, shaking the skillet a lot, until they are dark brown in color (but not black, over roasting them will turn them black).
-
use immediately as is.
-
(ps: crushing the raw cumin is really important to bring out the nice flavor of cumin, try a side-by-side some time, and you'll see what i mean.
