- Season It: Add the cumin seeds, salt to taste, coriander seeds (if using), and freshly squeezed lemon juice to the jar.
- Blend: Grind the mixture into a smooth or slightly coarse paste, depending on the texture you prefer. Try not to add extra water, as the onions and lemon juice will provide enough moisture.
