Spices se start karo, recipes baad mein
Naye cooks se main hamesha kehta hoon: pehle spices samajh lo, recipe automatically aasaan ho jaayegi. Indian cooking ka foundation masala hai, not technique.
Green Bay mein Indian grocery store option limited hai, isliye starter kit carefully choose karo.
The 10 essential spices
1) Haldi (turmeric), 2) Dhaniya powder (coriander), 3) Jeera seeds (cumin), 4) Garam masala, 5) Lal mirch powder (red chilli), 6) Hing (asafoetida), 7) Rai/mustard seeds, 8) Chaat masala, 9) Amchur (dry mango powder), 10) Kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves).
Yeh 10 cheezein 90% North Indian, Gujarati, aur Punjabi recipes cover karti hain. South Indian cooking ke liye sambar powder aur rasam powder add karo.
Whole vs ground — kya lena chahiye
Ground spices convenient hain but 6-12 mahine mein potency kum ho jaati hai. Whole spices (jeera, rai, laung, dalchini, tej patta) longer lasting hain, aur tadka mein farak dikhta hai.
Mera suggestion: ground masala monthly rotate karo, whole spices bulk mein le lo — better value.
