June 4, 2020 at 12:43 pmHi Richa,
I just made this, so tasty! Thanks
But it wasn’t as bright red as in your picture.
Does cumin make it brownish?

June 4, 2020 at 4:52 pmgreat, thanks. well, it’s only 1/4 tsp so it shouldn’t make it brownish. I use a professional camera that makes colours really pop out naturally!
