Cumin

Cumin is a spice derived from the plant Cuminum cyminum. Cumin is a must-have ingredient in Indian curries and chutneys. The spice is also delicious in rice dishes, stews, soups, breads, pickles, barbecue sauces, and chili con carne. When cooking with cumin, it is best to be cautious because its flavor can easily overpower a dish. More can always be added later.
