What spice can I use in place of cumin?

Answer 1

chili powder works well

Answer 2

Best might be corriander mixed with a little fennel. But depending on what you are cooking will make a big difference. Cumin is so integral to Indian cooking, especially Punjabi, that not having it is a somewhat critical ommission.

If you are cooking Mexican spice mixes try a touch of fennel. Its not as critical in Mexican cooking because it is seldom used throughout the whole country, only really in northern style meat and taco type spice mixes and Yucatan "pibil" recipes.
