I recently bought ground cumin and coriander to use for a specific recipe. Now i'm wondering what else to do with them. I guess I just ignored them in recipes in the past. I know I've seen cumin mentioned in chili recipes, but what else do you use it for? How about coriander? What types of dishes?
TIA |

I added cumin to chili, taco meat, sprinkle it on chicken thighs for roasting or grilling, and lots of Indian and Middle Eastern dishes. I don't use ground coriander as much, usually in Indian curries, chicken tikka masala, or things like this:

| These are core spices to north Indian dishes. Just need some paprika, turmeric, tomato, and onion...and you've got the basis for like 80% of the most popular dishes. |

Coriander can be added at really tiny amounts to stews, chicken, beef, soups it adds very nice flavor. It’s a very versatile spice, add sparingly just for a hint of spice.
Cumin, I mostly add to beans / lentils. |

| Cumin is used as often as pepper or cinnamon in my house. Great on any meat, to make a chili Mac & cheese, on roasted sweet potatoes… mmm |

| I add cumin to steak and chicken marinades. Coriander goes into dal recipes. I also ad cumin to chili and meat sauces (usually at the same time as garlic). |
