Spice popular in Indian cookery (5)

I believe the answer is:

cumin

(Other definitions for cumin that I've seen before include "Spice seeds" , "Aromatic seeds used as condiment" , "seasoning" , "Spice used in chilli and curry powder" , "Curry-seasoning herb" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
