Instead of store bought ground cumin, try buying whole cumin seed and then toast them in a dry skillet on the stove. Keep shaking the pan like you're popping popcorn so they don't burn. They will turn a nice shade of reddish-brown and they will start to pop and crackle a bit. Take them off the heat and then grind them in a mortar and pestle. You will not believe the difference it makes in the flavor. Once cumin is ground it loses its flavor and aroma pretty quickly. It only takes a couple of three minutes to toast and grind and it is WELL worth the extra effort. The perfume that rises from them when you start grinding is intoxicating.
