Cumin is different from fennel...they look the same at first glance, except that fennel seeds are greenish brown in colour and slightly bigger in size, they are sweeter in flavour. Whilst cumin is brown. Their flavours are completely different; also, the smell of ground cumin seeds is much stronger than that of ground fennel seeds.

We at home love the different flavours that each spice brings out in what we make. My mother used to tell me - Cook when it’s coming from your heart. It translates to add a dash of cumin to your food to enhance the flavour. Cumin adds nutty, warm flavours to countless dishes. I use whole cumin seeds to add tadka, and ground roasted cumin to add while I’m cooking. Cumin adds an earthy tone and body to soups, daals, and curries. I generally use Cumin seeds produced by Organic Tattva.
