YELLOW OR BROWN, What's the Difference?

Think yellow for mustard on hotdogs, they are milder with a slightly tangy flavour which also makes them the preference for dressings and pickling as well.

For a more intense and pungent flavour choose brown which are smaller with a more robust taste, making them perfect for curry blends and marinades.

Both available at Kumari Spice World

Slightly bitter and nutty!

ITS JUST DIFFERENT!

Kaffir lime is mainly used in Thai, Indonesian, and Malaysian dishes. These aromatic leaves are known for their unique, citrusy flavour that can elevate a variety of recipes including curries and tom Yum soup. The leaves impart a distinct zest, fresh and tangy note that complements the rich spices and coconut milk.

They are usually torn into the dish while cooking and removed before serving. Try popping one when cooking rice for more aromatic and delicate notes of freshness.

Balancing flavours in a curry is essential to creating a harmonious dish. Fish, especially white varieties like cod or snapper have a mild flavour that can be easily overshadowed by heavy-handed use of spices. To prevent this, it's important to strike a balance between the spices, herbs, and other components of the curry.

Additionally, using ingredients like coconut milk or yogurt to create a creamy base can mellow the intensity of the spices while enhancing the overall richness.

Another tip is to add the fish towards the end of the cooking process. Fish cooks quickly and can become tough and dry if overcooked. By adding it in the last few minutes, you ensure that it absorbs the flavours of the curry without losing its own distinctive taste. This method allows the fish to maintain its tender texture and ensures that the final dish is a well-balanced symphony of flavours 🐟 Be Happy and Eat Curry!

AVAIL NOW! CHIPOTLE CHILLIES! $4.90 PACKET
A smoke-dried jalapeño pepper that is widely used in Mexican cuisine to add a distinctive smoky flavour and moderate heat to various dishes.

The process of creating a chipotle involves harvesting ripe red jalapeño peppers and then slowly smoking them over wood, typically pecan or oak, until they become dried and shriveled. This smoking process not only preserves the jalapeños but also infuses them with a rich, smoky aroma that enhances their natural spiciness.

Chipotle is often used to add depth of flavor to sauces, stews, marinades, and even soups. The combination of heat and smokiness makes chipotle chillies particularly well-suited for barbecued meats, chili con carne, and salsas.

Sweet and slightly licorice-like flavour, is a versatile spice that can enhance a wide variety of dishes, here's our TOP 4 IDEAS!

1. SPICE MIXES - Fennel seeds are a key ingredient in many spice blends, such as Italian seasoning and Indian spice mixes like garam masala. Toasting the seeds lightly before grinding them can bring out their aromatic oils, adding a deeper flavour to your blends. Incorporate ground fennel into rubs for meats or sprinkle it into soups and stews to infuse them with a rich, complex taste.

2. BAKING AND DESSERTS: Fennel seeds can add a unique twist to baked goods and desserts. They pair wonderfully with citrus flavours and can be used in cookies, breads, and even cakes. Try adding a teaspoon of crushed fennel seeds to your next batch of shortbread or biscotti for an unexpected delight

3. DIGESTIVE AID: Long known for their digestive benefits, chewing on a small handful of fennel seeds after a meal can help reduce bloating and gas. You can also make a soothing tea by steeping a teaspoon of fennel seeds in hot water for about ten minutes. This tea can aid in digestion and provide relief from indigestion.

4. MEAT AND VEGGIES: Fennel seeds can elevate the flavour of roasted vegetables and meats. Tossing vegetables like carrots, potatoes, or Brussels sprouts with olive oil, crushed fennel seeds, and a pinch of salt before roasting can transform them into a delicious side dish.

These are just a few ways to incorporate fennel seeds into your cooking. Their versatility and unique flavour make them a valuable addition to any spice rack, ready to transform everyday dishes into culinary delights

Why is Sri Lankan Cinnamon better?
Also known as Ceylon or Verum cinnamon, is considered superior to cassia due to it flavour and health benefits.
One of the most notable distinctions is its delicate, sweet flavour profile. Ceylon cinnamon has a subtle, complex taste with hints of citrus and floral notes, making it a preferred choice for culinary uses where a refined flavour is desired. In contrast, cassia cinnamon, which is more commonly found in grocery stores, has a stronger, more pungent taste that can sometimes overpower dishes.

Vanilla is one tough cookie: Despite its widespread use and seemingly simple flavour, vanilla is incredibly complex and second only to saffron in expense.

The reason? Vanilla orchids bloom for only one day a year, and if they're not pollinated within that short window, no vanilla pods! Plus, each pod must be hand-pollinated. So next time you enjoy that scoop of vanilla ice cream, remember the effort that went into producing that beautiful flavour.

Organic Vanilla pods in store - See profile for web info
