Cloves

Ingredients: Cloves (100%). 

These hand-picked cloves (also known as Laung - लवँग) give an intense aromatic experience, bringing warmth and complexity to your favourite Indian dishes. They have a unique flavour profile with a blend of sweet, pungent and slightly bitter notes, with a lingering hint of heat. 

They're commonly used to temper curries, dals, and rice dishes like biryani. They're also a key spice used in garam masala. 

🍽️ How to use: 
They are usually used whole at the start of a dish. Add a few cloves to hot oil with onions, garlic, and ginger as you saute them. This infuses the oil with their warm, pungent flavour. Remember to remove the whole cloves before serving, as they can be unpleasant to bite into.
