Notes

1. One important tip to know that cumin is roasted well is it starts giving out aroma into the kitchen and too much of roasting burns the cumin and one should be careful while roasting it.
2. If the cumin is roasted longer, the powder gives out a burnt smell and the curries smell burnt and hence be careful.
