What are the 11 Indian spices used in Indian cooking
Indian cuisine has eleven spices: cumin seeds (coriander seeds), mustard seeds (fennel seeds), nigella seeds and black pepper.
These ingredients can also be used in almost any dish. These spices impart a distinct flavor to dishes such as curries (lentils), curries and chutneys. They also add a unique taste to rice, bread, and sweets.
The health benefits of spices can be found in their medicinal properties. For example, turmeric helps fight cancer cells. Cloves help protect against bad breath. Black pepper lowers cholesterol. Cinnamon lowers blood pressure. And ginger aids digestion.
A spice rack makes a great kitchen tool. It allows you to experiment with many different combinations of flavours. You can make your own blends of spices or buy ready-made mixes containing many essential spices.
Some people prefer not to add any spices to their food. Some people believe spices can only mask the natural flavor of food and don't improve it. A pinch of salt and pepper can enhance the flavor of your food.
Most chefs agree spices are essential to culinary art. Many dishes would be bland and tasteless without spices. Try a new recipe next time you feel adventurous.
How to store your spices?
Keep them away from heat and light.
You can store them for long periods in a dark cupboard. This will help keep them fresh and prevent any deterioration due to oxidation.
Keep your spices out of direct sunlight and in a cool dry place. A heater or window can cause the spice to lose its aroma and flavour.
Spices work best in an airtight jar or tin. Make sure that there is no moisture in any plastic containers you store spices in.
After opening the seal, make sure to inspect it again. Humidity can cause spoilage.
You don't have to throw out leftover spices. Instead, use them up by adding them to other dishes. To extend their shelf life, you can freeze them.
Almond Flour vs. Almond Meal: What's the Difference?
As an almond flour alternative, an almond meal is more versatile because it can be used for baking, cooking, and even making nut-free dishes.
Almond flour can also be gluten-containing, which can make it difficult to digest. Avoid gluten-free food if you have celiac disease, or any other digestive disorder.
Almond flour may not be considered a "superfood", per se, but it contains healthy fats as well as fibre, protein and vitamin E.
Almond meal has many nutritional benefits, including magnesium, copper and zinc as well as manganese and potassium.
Almond flour, made from almonds contains monounsaturated and polyunsaturated oil. Both can lower LDL cholesterol and increase HDL cholesterol.
Almond flour is also high in antioxidants, such as phenolics, flavonoids and proanthocyanidins. These compounds help to prevent oxidative damage from free radicals.
A study published in the Journal of Agricultural Food Chemistry found that almond flour had antioxidant activity equivalent to that of blueberries, cranberries, pomegranates, and red wine grape juice.
Almond flour is typically sold along with almond milk, which is fortified to add additional nutrients.

How To
How to Cut Shiitake Mushrooms?
The shiitakes seem to be doing well. They are fine. But how do we cut them without cutting ourselves? We've tried everything, even scissors. We keep losing them. Is there something wrong?
Well, there's a trick for that. You must put a rubber band around the mushroom's stem and twist it tight. That way, you won't slip and cut yourself.
You may be thinking that this seems too easy. It is. But it's also very powerful.
Because the rubber band makes the stem slippery it is easy to pick it up. Plus, it doesn't hurt to hold the stem tightly.
Do it! It's so easy to chop mushrooms now.
