Sandalwood was originally an ingredient reserved just for Indian royalty in Mughal times, used for cooking kebabs of fresh caught game, rich curries and even as garnishes! It adds an inexplicable aroma and nuance that is hard to put into words, we think the best way is to try for yourself.
Cashew is very commonly used in Indian cooking. It is used in both sweet and savory dishes. Ground cashew paste is used in sabzis, Punjabi curries and Korma to thicken the gravy. Whole cashew is used in many rice dishes like Biryani and Pulav to add a nice crunch and richness to the dish.
Nutmeg powder is used to flavour many kinds of baked goods, confections, puddings, potatoes, meats, sausages, sauces, and vegetables. It tastes nutty and slightly sweet and is an intense spice that has an appetizing aroma. For those who are more sensitive to heat, nutmeg might seem almost spicy.
