Just not true tamale flavor. The most striking difference is that tamales use Masa Harina while tamale pie casserole uses ordinary cornmeal. Masa Harina is specially made from a large kernel corn that is dried and processed with lime; it is used in making tamales and corn tortillas.Also, traditional tamale pie is baked; true tamales are steamed. teaspoon baking powder (I used Featherweight no sodium baking powder). 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional). 1/2 cup light flavored oil (I think you could use only 1/3 cup and still get good results). Combine masa, broth, baking powder, salt, and oil in a large bowl, Mix together until dough has the consistency of soft paste.

Cumin seeds are from a different plant all together not from the cilantro plant. Cumin is very strong and bold tasting, and used in chili, hummus, Indian food etc....its good added to just about anything but has a very distinctive taste so you have to be in the mood for it.umin is a hot spice that doesn't actually have a spicy flavor. If you want the warmth of spicy food without having a burning hot tongue, this is for you. I use it in chili, tacos, and enchiladas.
