Instructions
- It is best to start with only ½ of a teaspoon of coriander in place of 1 teaspoon of cumin.
- Use ½ teaspoon of caraway seeds in place of 1 teaspoon of cumin powder. If the flavor is not bold enough, add more slowly.
- As with the other substitutes, start with half the amount of fennel in place of cumin. The flavor of fennel goes a long way.
