Equipment

  • 1 pan
  • 1 spice grinder, coffee grinder, mortar & pestle I used a Nutribullet

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup cumin seeds 16g

Instructions

  • Toast on low-medium 4-5 minutes until fragrant and just beginning to darken. Stir continuously as they can burn quick.
  • Let cool and grind.
  • Cumin powder is ready.

Notes

Storing
Store cumin powder in an airtight container for up to three months.  I like to operate on a quarterly basis and make small batches to last me at least 3 months and then I will grind a fresh batch.
