Cumin(Jeera)

Cumin is a spice that comes from a small herbaceous plant that belongs to the same family as parsley and fennel. The aromatic seeds of this plant are what most of us recognise as cumin, either as whole seeds or ground, and it’s a staple ingredient in Mexican, Indian and North African cooking. Cumin is a key ingredient to curry powder, its usage spreads far and wide. Cumin is regularly used in Mediterranean cuisine, and is so integral to Moroccan food that a shaker of cumin is kept on the table, much like pepper and salt.
