    WHY MAKE HOMEMADE CUMIN POWDER?

    To be candid, a few years ago, I wasn't accustomed to preparing these spice blends at home. Nevertheless, a friend suggested crafting homemade cumin powder, Garam Masala powder, coriander powder, and green cardamom powder to enhance the authenticity of my Pakistani recipes. I gave it a shot one day, and since then, I've never reverted to store-bought. Homemade cumin powder offers a fresher, preservative-free, and richer depth of flavor and aroma that has truly transformed my culinary endeavors.
