query - spice rack
Hi Ashna,

Nice to see another rasoi - a different one in that.
your initiatives are highly appreciated.

I've a query on ur spice rack. for anardhana, can I dry the seeds of pomegranate in sunlight and store it for further use. can I use the yellow tissues that act as compartments or only seeds??? whats the storage period for these???? do I powder it or store & use as seeds???

Pls do enlighten on this. I've never used anardhana in my cooking and would like to try it out..

thank you in advance.

Default Anardana- pomegranate seeds

Hello Meena,

To dry all spices or any cooking ingredients like red chillies, pomegranate seeds, methi leaves its always good to keep them inside in shade for 2 days and then dry them in sun.

We use just seeds for the purpose of cooking and not the tissue. It can be used as whole or in powder form as required.

Good Readymade Anardana seeds /Powder are available under brands MDH Everest, Maharaja etc

Default Black onion seeds - kalonji

Nigella sativa or Black onion seeds, kalonji are tiny, drop shaped seeds of a small herb plant. Their dusty jet black colour and earthy, distinct onion flavour is an essential part to Panch Poran, a Bengali spice mixture. Its crunchy texture is sprinkled over soft tandoor-baked breads, such as naan, as is done in Northern India. Its therapeutic powers include: cleansing of toxins in the blood, helping to stimulate the liver, and used as a paste to clear skin blemishes.

I will soon posting the recipe of Daal makhani.

Regards,
Ashna
