Bhuna Jeera Powder (Roasted Ground Cumin)

Heat a heavy bottom pan. Once hot, add Cumin Seeds and stir continuously on low to medium heat to prevent burning. Continue stirring until you achieve a beautiful aroma and the seeds turn golden. Turn off the stove and remove the pan from the heat. Keep stirring the seeds in the pan to ensure the bottom doesn't get too dark in color. Let the cumin seeds cool down completely. Once cool, add small batches to a spice grinder and grind into a fine powder. Store the Bhuna Jeera Powder in an airtight glass jar.
