This is my submission to the event-Think Spice…think favourite-Cumin seeds hosted by Sunitha of http://sunitabhuyan.blogspot.com/search/label/think%20favouriteI have chosen cumin seeds for the event Think Spice... think favourite as I use them regularly because of their flavour and medicinal value.
Cumin seeds can be used to season many dishes, as it draws out their natural sweetnesses. It is traditionally added to curries, enchiladas, tacos, and other Middle-Eastern, Indian, Cuban and Mexican-style foods. It can also be added to salsa to give it extra flavour. Cumin has also been used on meat in addition to other common seasonings. The spice is a familiar taste in Tex-Mex dishes and is extensively used in the cuisines of the Indian subcontinent.
