Substitute for ground cumin in a recipe?!


Question: Substitute for ground cumin in a recipe!?
I'm making a bulk taco seasoning mix!. It calls for ground cumin but I don't have much left!. Is there a good substitute for ground cumin!? I looked it up and only found substituting with caraway, but I must have some kind of allergy to caraway as when I've eaten the seeds on things before I've gotten a stomach ache/cramps, but haven't had any problem with ground cumin (even though I think they're from the same family!?)!. ThanksWww@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
try chili powder or papricaWww@FoodAQ@Com

Cumin definitely has its own flavor so it is hard to replace!. I use lots of dried herbs when I cook and would recommend a mixture of ground coriander and chiptole powder which will give it a distinct flavor similar to cumin and also the smokiness that cumin has from the chipotle powder!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I would just leave it out or go to the store, cumin is hard to replace in a dish because it is so strong and fragrant!.

Or you could use my recipe I use all the time:

2 Tsp!. chili powder
1 1/2 Tsp!. paprika
1 Tsp!. onion powder
1/2 Tsp!. salt
3/4 Tsp!. garlic salt
1 Dash red pepperWww@FoodAQ@Com

IMO cumin has such a distinctive flavor, particularly in taco seasoning, that you may have to make a trip to the store!. I cannot think of anything other than chili powder, which has cumin in it, that might substitute!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
