----------
# Substitute cumin powder with cumin seeds.
# Alter the spice levels to suit your taste.
# You can also add Kasoori Methi for flavor. Just crush it in your palms and mix with the powders.
# You can also include mashed boiled veggies to it. I wanted to make it simple it with handy ingredients so I avoided.
