Cumin and fennel are spices that have been used in cooking from old ages. They are mostly used as seeds in curries, stews and soups. They are tempered in oil to release the fragrance and enhance the flavour and aroma.You can also use these without tempering in oil. Sometimes we use cumin at the end of cooking as seeds or ground. In dhal curry cumin is ground with pepper corns and added at the end to release the aroma. 
These seeds are dry roasted and powdered to be used in rolls,cutlets, dips and savoury dishes. Powder form is used in small quantities.
Today I am going to write how to roast and powder cumin seeds and fennel seeds.
