Serve with crusty [[Bread|bread]] and the remaining [[Cumin|cumin]] [[Salt|salt]] in a separate dish.
===Chef's note===
Most variants of this recipe call for more salt.  I reduced the amount to 2 teaspoons and still found it too salty.  This was very tasty but I think next time I would put less of the spice mix on the meat.
