[Jugglering]

They are one of the spices I use when making a curry (along with ground coriander, fresh chillies, mustard seeds and turmeric)

[society]

They are mainly used in Indian cooking for flavouring curries and chapatis, and other dishes. It's also said to be an aphrodisiac.

[Figi]

ALso used in Moroccan and Spanish cookery.

Jugglering decides to zoom out to shops on the morrow and buy said more freshly garnered cumin seeds - well, you never know how they might help (aphrodisiac eh?) hehe

No Chilli is complete without it as well
