I've been experimenting with cumin. I never bought the seed before always the powder and used it when a recipe called for it.
I picked up some cumin seeds last night, came home and made a very basic curry (not really curry) (i don't use recipes most of the time)
-small onion diced
-can of plum tomatoes diced
-small clove of garlic thin sliced and melted in pan with onion
-half ground cumin seeds in my pestle
-few pinches of tumeric
-salt (pink)
-half cracked pepper corns
I simmered on med-high till everyone was soft then simmered for 45 minutes
Anyways when I was grinding the cumin the powerful, sweet, savory smell of the cumin hit me like never before (used to use powder)
What else can I use cumin for? I usually do simple stuff. Bake bread, simple dishes like one listed above.
tldr: I have a cumin addiction give me tips on using cumin and where to use it
o yeah and bonus question: Where and when should I use thyme?

Toast them slightly in the pan before you crush them then add that and the turmeric to the garlic and onions when they are about half done

won't adding the cumin so early burn them especially if I toast them.
Don't know why I haven't toasted before good idea. Oil or dry in pan?
