Curry Recipes
If you’re interested in adding a bit of Asian spice to your meals, curry is a delicious and versatile ingredient. Indian-inspired curry powder can be found in classic recipes like Chicken Biryani or Tikka Masala. Whatever the spice level, Thai curry paste can be used for soups and stews or rich fusion dishes like a Curry Risotto served with baked salmon and arborio, which is the ideal type of rice for risotto. However you choose to incorporate it into your meals, RiceSelect® has a recipe for you.

About Cumin
The little, boat-shaped cumin seeds, which are collected by hand from an annual plant, resemble caraway seeds. Although black cumin, green cumin, and white cumin are occasionally seen, the most typical variation of cumin is a brownish-yellow tint. Whole seeds, also known as jeera, are used in Indian cooking, and ground cumin is a staple in Mexican and Middle Eastern cuisine. It can also be found in chili, barbecue sauce, baked beans, soups, and marinades. Chili powder frequently contains cumin, which is also frequently used in other spice mixtures such garam masala, curry powder, achiote blends, adobos, berbere, and bahaarat.
Taste of Cumin
Cumin has a warm, earthy flavor and aroma with a bit of both sweetness and bitterness. The whole seeds need to be toasted in order to reach the optimum flavor.
Where to Purchase Cumin
At most supermarket stores, whole cumin seeds are packed in the spice aisle. Cumin seed can frequently be purchased for less money at a global market that sells food for South American, Indian, North African, or Middle Eastern cuisine. In the spice section of the majority of supermarkets, ground cumin is easily accessible.
