Quick question!

How do you write "ground cumin" in Russian?

Wiki says зира was mistakenly translated as тмин. As for me, I've never met this зира, only тмин.

Молотая зира. Uzbeks use it in their national dish, plov, with delicious results.

Fantastic! I'll do a google search for the recipe.

Thanks all! I am writing all of my spice labels in Russian for fun/learning, and тмин was the name for caraway- so молотая зира it is.
