Essential Indian Spices<\/b> <\/span><\/h4>\n

There are a variety of Indian spices. Some of these spices are available in only certain locations, and some of them are used in only a few select recipes. But apart from these spices, There are a set of essential spices that are used in a variety of dishes and often define the essence of Indian Cuisine. They are the pillars of the iconic flavours associated with Indian food and can be used in a variety of ways. These spices are available at a much larger scale than the unique and rare variety but must be the freshest and most authentic in quality to get the best flavours. A majority of these spices are grown and harvested in Southern India, more specifically Kerala. Thanks to the advent of technology there exist online stores from where you can buy <\/span>South Indian Spices online. <\/b> <\/span><\/p>\n

\"Indian<\/p>\n

Some of these essential spices include <\/span>cardamom<\/span>, <\/span>cumin<\/span>, <\/span>turmeric<\/span>, <\/span>coriander<\/span>, asafoetida, <\/span>fenugreek<\/span>, bay leaf, mustard, <\/span>cinnamon<\/span>, star anise, <\/span>nutmeg<\/span>, <\/span>mace<\/span>, <\/span>cloves<\/span>, <\/span>pepper<\/span>, and curry leaves. Any<\/span> Indian Spices website<\/b> with its salt would have these spices for sale without a fail. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Ways to Use Indian spices<\/b> <\/span><\/h4>\n

Just like the different methods of cooking, there are different ways spices can be utilized to get the maximum flavour from them. These spices are used in different methods and put into dishes at different cooking times to vary the taste of the food. These are tried and tested culinary skills that ensure that the most are made out of the smallest spices.<\/span> <\/b><\/p>\n

Marination<\/b> <\/span><\/h4>\n

A very popular method of preparation, marination includes ground and powdered spices being mixed. From here on, either the powdered mixture can be rubbed directly onto the meat or vegetables, or this mixture can be added to an acidic medium such as curd to make a paste for marination. A popular ground mixture is Garam Masala. It is a combination of several Indian spices, including pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, cumin, coriander, and Bay leaves. It can be made at home as well as brought from a store. <\/span> <\/b><\/p>\n

Dry Toasting Spices<\/b><\/h4>\n

Another popular method is to lightly toast spices on a hot skillet. Once roasted they give a smoky intense flavour. One spice that is commonly associated with this method is the <\/span>Kaali Elaichi <\/span><\/i>which is known for its eucalyptus-like aroma and unique taste. Once the spices have slightly darkened, or in the case of mustard and <\/span>cardamom<\/span>, the seeds begin to pop, and the toasting is done. Overdoing it can result in a burnt flavour and ruin the spices. <\/span> <\/b><\/p>\n

Frying Spices in Oil\/ Tempering<\/b> <\/span><\/h4>\n

Better known to locals as <\/span>Tadka<\/span><\/i> another popular method of using spices is frying them in boiling oil or ghee. In this process, all the flavours of the spices are absorbed by the oil. This oil is then poured into curies or on top of chutneys to spread the flavour throughout the dish. This method is popular because it manages to extract all the essential oils of the spices which may be otherwise missed while grounding.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Indian<\/p>\n

Wrapping in Cloth<\/b> <\/span><\/h4>\n

While spices can truly enhance the flavour of any dish, biting into these spices can be a very unpleasant experience. These spices, when used directly in dishes may be hidden among the food, and be accidentally bitten into, resulting in an unwanted burst of strong flavour. This is why when preparing dishes like Biriyani, the spices are wrapped in a muslin cloth, that allows the flavours and juices to pass through, while still holding the spices. Once the food has been prepared, this muslin cloth can be taken out without a hassle and give you an enjoyable eating experience.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n
