Mirjam is right on the mark! The amount of cumin seeds mentioned in this recipe is just right! I made 1/3 of this recipe, and reduced the cook time to 5 minutes and 1 minute respectively. Personally I think this recipe needs a little more cilantro. Otherwise, it's pretty darn perfect, and a really easy and quick side dish. Thanks Tish! -
There are two types of people in this world, those who like coriander, and those who hate it. We love it! This is a great side dish, just make sure you use the cumin seeds, I think the same amount of ground cumin would totally overpower the dish. Another keeper! -
Very nice! I served this with cheese enchiladas, and it was a lovely, light side dish to serve with a heavier entree. Thanks for sharing this! -
I love cilantro so this suited me fine!! I did add a few extra cumin seeds though. I did not bother peeling the tomato. . . just squeezed the seeds out, chopped it up and added it at the end. Good going Tish!! -
We really enjoyed this. I was desperate to find something new to do with my husband's favorite veggie. Thanks for posting!

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes:
? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again.
? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time.
? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK
? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all
? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
