This looks very nice and interesting. Do you use that amount of cumin? that is so much... do you mean table spoon or tea spoon? And another question, is it powder or seeds?
You have my 5, I love all the flavors in this recipe.

Yes, it is ground cumin, and i put that much, but you don't have to. You can use less if you want. Thanks for the post.

I think I might go with the tsp for the cumin, but is does sound good.
