Step-by-Step Preparation
- Set a completely dry heavy skillet, grinder, and jar beside the stove for Coriander Cumin Soup Spice; wipe away all moisture and warm the skillet over medium-low heat for 2 minutes.
- Toast all four spices separately until just fragrant. Give the spices about 30 seconds before adding the larger pieces, then continue over medium-low heat for 3–4 minutes, moving the pan often, until the raw aroma is gone.
- Cool them fully and grind to a fine soup seasoning. Spread the warm components on a plate for 8 minutes, remove any husks, and combine them only when no heat remains.
- Store the powder dry and add it early in simmering. Transfer immediately to the dry jar, close it away from steam, and label it before returning it to a cool cupboard.
- Keep Coriander Cumin Soup Spice in a cool, dry cupboard; use a clean, dry spoon and close the labeled jar immediately after each serving.
