The Indian spices that we all take for granted


Spices are known as the "heartbeat" of an Indian kitchen. Every district in the nation includes a sprinkling of its mystery blend of local spices to cooking pots to enhance flavors and complement the shades of the dishes. For instance, sambhar in Karnataka is so altogether different from how it is made in Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Also, fish curry made in West Bengal is not at all like the one made in Goa.


Kalonji (Nigella Seeds) Ever thought about those dark seeds on your naan and flavorful bread rolls are called? Nigella seeds or kalonji are minor, triangular, coal black seeds that have a faintly sharp flavor with a touch of sweetness. Aside from having restorative properties, kalonji is a great spice, used to season a variety of customary dishes, including pickles.


Raja Mirchi Bhut Jolokia i.e. Raja Mirchi was affirmed by the Guinness World Records as the 'hottest chilli pepper in the world’. Dark red in shading, this blasting hot chilli is a star fixing in probably the most shocking preparations of North East India. The littlest measure of bhut jolokia can season a dish so strongly that even a bite will make tears run down your face.


Radhuni It is also known as dried fruit of wild celery that is often confused with ajwain, caraway and celery seeds due to it similar looks. Radhuni is actually the small dried fruit of wild celery, a flowering plant that grows extensively in South Asia. It smells similar to parsley and tastes quite like celery. In Bengali cuisine, the whole radhuni is quickly fried in very hot oil until it crackles. It is also a part of the Bengali five-spice mix, paanch phoran.


Kalpasi Dagad pool or black stone flower is a kind of lichen with a gentle woody aroma. It is generally utilized as a part of Chettinad and Maharashtrian foods. In spite of the fact that it has no essence of its own, kalpasi adds a baffling flavor to whatever food it is added to. The blackish purple blossom is frequently mixed with different flavors to make some indigenous masalas.
