Aromatic cumin seeds add Indian flair to this simple side dish.
This year for Easter, I remembered a super simple side dish that I hadn’t made in yeeeeears. This recipe is very basic, but it packs a ton of flavor.
It went beautifully with the lamb that my father-in-law made (plus all of the other dishes we both contributed!).
This is perfect side dish for any roasted meat or Indian-inspired dinner. Absolutely delicious!
