Today I will showcase the Spices and Seasonings from India (the capital of Spice Trade for centuries).

  • Ingredients

INDIAN SPICE BOX:

I) Dry Spice Powders & Spice Blends:

  • Roasted Coriander (cilantro seeds) powder

  • Kala Namak (Black Salt – actually pink in color)

  • Turmeric Powder

  • Amchur Powder (Dry Green Mango powder) – Sour

  • Red Chili powder (different types) – Spicy

  • Garam Masala (a spice blend) – Mildly Spicy

III) Fresh Ingredients:

  • Fresh garlic, chopped

  • Fresh onions, chopped

  • Fresh tomatoes, chopped

  • Instructions
  1. You can use any or all of these spices in any combination depending on the flavors and spices you like the most. For example, I use a tad more cumin powder than others since I like the flavor of roasted cumin the best.
  2. I also like the flavor of ginger and so we use ginger in any and all savory dishes but I also use fresh ginger in a Ginger Molasses Cake that I make and is our family favorite.
  3. Flavor enhancers – tomatoes, onion and garlic are used in many curries and bean dishes in Indian cooking and so also a bit of cream.
  4. For cream, one can use a nut sauce (cashew) or for a reduced-fat version a white bean sauce or an oat sauce.

Enjoy Spices and Seasonings!
