6 g1 tablespoon
Whole cumin seeds ~2.1 g per level tsp.
Instead of Toasted cumin seed
Cumin seedUse the same weight; dry-toast over low heat for 30–60 seconds until aromatic, then cool.
Ground cuminUse 75–80% of the weight; add near the end as it burns easily. More intense, less crunch.
Caraway seedsUse the same weight; toast lightly. The flavour is different, more rye-like, so use only if you like it.
