Description
This homemade roasted cumin powder is a flavorful addition to various dishes, enhancing their taste with its aromatic flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cumin seeds (100 grams)
Instructions
- Add cumin seed to a skillet.
- Dry roast over medium-low heat until they are slightly browned and very fragrant (5-6 minutes), stirring continuously.
- Remove the skillet from heat and keep stirring the seeds for 1-2 minutes so that the seeds at the bottom of the skillet don’t get burned from the residual heat.
- Let the seeds cool down completely.
- Transfer the roasted seeds to a coffee grinder, a spice grinder, or a food processor and grind to make a smooth powder. Scrap the sides of the jar while grinding a few times.
- Transfer the powder to an airtight jar and use as desired.
- I like to make a small batch and use it in under a month as it tastes the best when made fresh. Having said that, you can store it for up to 2-3 months in an airtight container in a cool and dry place or refrigerate it for up to 6 months.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container for best freshness.
