FACT OF THE MONTH: Indian
Spices
Today, India is one of the largest exporting nation
of spices in the world. Vast variety of spices grow
due to natural conditions available in various parts
of India. The major western, south-west, south and
south-east is tropical in weather conditions, north-west,
north are dry with less humidity and north-east and
east have pre-dominantly high-rainy seasons.
Due
to the abundance in availability of spices in India,
Indian food is never bland. Spices in Indian food
are not heavy and although Indian food is not bland,
most Indian dishes are delicately spiced to enhance
the flavor of the main cooking ingredient. Curry powder
sitting on the grocers shelf may be like saw dust
when one compares it to the fine spices roasted, combined
and dry ground or wet ground in the traditional Indian
traditions.
Fresh ground spices are the order of the day in an
Indian home and will be chosen according to the nature
of the dish, season, individual and family. Some of
the common Indian spices available are red chilli
pepper, turmeric, black pepper, nutmegs, cloves and
many more.
