2 Tbsp cumin seeds sounds like a lot? I've got a 31gm container.
I'm not used to these herbs etc but I'm trying to utilize pulses.

2 tab of cumin seeds does seem like a lot. I would try 2 tsp as it may be a typo.

Thanks. What about "3 Tbsp ginger, peeled and finely chopped " I wonder?

I would use that amount of ginger because we really like the flavour, but it wouldn't hurt to cut back.
