Toasting cumin seeds brings out their flavor to great advantage and removes

any trace of a raw taste that many people find objectionable.

 

1. Place a small heavy skillet over medium heat. Place 4 tablespoons of

cumin seeds in the skillet and cook, stirring, for about 3 minutes, until

the seeds start to turn color and emit a delicious, roasted aroma.

 

2. Remove the seeds to a dish or paper towel and let them cool

slightly. Place them in the container of a spice grinder (a clean coffee

grinder will do) and grind them to a powder. Store in a small jar with a

tight-fitting lid.
