Ground cumin

spice

Ground cumin

Jeera Powder

2.6 g1 teaspoon

8 g1 tablespoon

USDA FoodData Central lists ground cumin seed at 2.6 g per level tsp.

Instead of Ground cumin

Cumin seed
Dry-roast briefly and grind finely; use equal weight (1:1). Imparts an even punchier, nuttier, toasty aroma than pre-ground cumin.
Ground coriander
Use equal weight (1:1). Adds mild, lemony sweetness rather than cumin's smoky, earthy bite; curries will taste lighter and less savoury.
Black cumin seeds
Grind finely; use 60% to 75% of the weight. Produces a darker, more complex, smoky-herbal flavour suited to rich gravies.
