Why does nobody talk about using a microwave to bloom spices?
I was in a rush to finish a curry paste last week and my pan was full, so I put the cumin and coriander seeds in a bowl and zapped them for 15 seconds. They popped and smelled amazing, way faster than toasting in a dry pan. Has anyone else tried this or am I breaking some sacred rule?

@phoenixgreen I bet they popped alright, sounds like you made a tiny seed light show in your microwave.

You put seeds in a bowl and they actually popped in the microwave?
