Everything about this sounds amazing. We absolutely love lime juice in our marinades. Sometimes my chicken marinade consists mostly of lime, lemon, and oranges (with garlic, paprika, ect....). I love me some citrus.

We use lime juice a lot as we have difficulty sourcing lemon juice. This is a very tasty Indian potato side dish incorporating lemon (or lime) juice:

I don't have Cumin seeds. What ratio of cumin should I use?

When I grind cumin seeds the volume probably reduces to 80% so probably just a little less that 1 tablespoon.
