Mix cornmeal, flour, Soup and Gravy base, poultry seasoning and cumin together; add cold water. Stir until mixture is smooth. Add cornmeal mixture to simmering meat, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil; lower heat; continue to cook 15 minutes stirring frequently. (Mixture will be thick.) Pour an equal amount into each pan. Cover; refrigerate several hours until firm or overnight.
