Anita is right. This is one janky recipe. Too much cumin seed, and also not like a sauce, more like a marinade (because its liquidy). However, a flavorless one 🙁 do not try this
Madison Cohen

James Kramer
So simple, so perfect on any fish. Great served over grilled fish, or poured over fish and baked.
Alexis Jordan
I’ll never make this again.
