  2. Grinding: Grind cumin seeds just before use to retain maximum aroma and flavor.
  3. Combining Flavors: Cumin pairs well with a variety of spices, including coriander, chili, and turmeric.
  4. Versatile Use: Use in marinades, spice rubs, soups, stews, and as a seasoning for meats and vegetables.
