Indian Spices- Natural Condiments and Flavours for a Healthy Living

The ancient spice routes through which many foreigners like Portuguese and the English reached India and spices were one of the attractions for merchants from abroad.

Uses of Spices

Spices bring out the flavour and the unique tastes of Indian dishes and spices are found to have a positive influence on the digestive process and absorption of the food. Though spices are used in crushed or powdered form,Whole Spices are also used in some dishes like biriyanis where these will be cooked with rice and meat or vegetables.

Indian spices have been in use since thousands of years back and most of the spices are also used in the traditional Indian medical system of Ayurveda for their medicinal properties. Spices are also used in preservation and for seasoning dishes as well.

Different Types of Spices

Ground Spices like pepper, cloves, cardamom and coriander are used for marinating and to add up to the flavour and taste of the dishes. Indian spices are exported to almost all parts of the world and are precious foreign exchange earners. Indian cooking spices make the food very spicy, flavoursome and healthy.

Pepper, more famous as the black gold is one of the most important spices among Indian cooking spices. It helps in the digestion process and is used to cure cold and fever as well. Turmeric is a natural food colouring agent that gives an appetizing golden hue to the food. It has an amazing healing property and is often used as a dressing for cuts and insect bites. Ginger improves appetite and increases metabolic rate and is an excellent home remedy for nausea and vomiting caused by motion sickness.

No Indian cuisine will be complete without a rich smattering of spices and has one of the highest per capita consumption of spices.  Though ready to use spices and masalas are available in the market, most of the Indian homes still prefer to buy fresh spices and grind it according to their tastes and needs to ensure the best results.

Description

This 6 Qt enamel Dutch oven is great for cooking, marinating, refrigeration and freezing. The color porcelain enamel on cast iron can be used on gas, electric, ceramic and induction cooktops, as well as in the oven. Not recommended for use on outdoor grills or over open outdoor flames. Not for use in microwaves. Lodge Color Porcelain Enamel on Cast Iron cookware is cast from molten iron in individual sand molds. The porcelain surface eliminates the need to season cast iron. The cast iron vessel has superior heat distribution and retention, evenly heating bottom sidewalls and even the lid. Tightly fitting lid seals in moisture. The excellent heat retention reduces the amount of energy needed for cooking. Two layers of very hard, glossy porcelain enamel are chip resistant and easy to clean. Lid knob is oven safe to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. The black rim on the pot is matte porcelain, not exposed cast iron. Hygienic porcelain enamel is non-reactive with food. Although dishwasher safe, hand washing with warm soapy water is recommended to preserve the cookware's original appearance. 10 3/4" diameter, 4 1/2" deep. Island Spice

Lodge Color is one of the newest lines from this respected American cast iron cookware company. Traditionally shaped and more affordable than some European brands, Lodge Color enameled cast iron is just as durable, requires no seasoning, and attractively serves at the table. Lodge infuses this 6-quart Dutch oven with two coats of hard-as-nails porcelain enamel, in a choice of several bright colors that are gradated (dark to light) on the exterior, and which are nicely set off by a cream interior. Embellished with concentric circles and a black knob, the lid, which also fits the Lodge Color 11-inch skillet, is oven-safe to 400 degrees F, so you can start a stew or casserole on the stovetop and finish by baking it in the oven. The 6-quart Dutch oven measures 10-3/4 inches in diameter and 5 inches deep. Lodge enameled cast iron makes a smart choice due to its versatility-you can marinate raw meats in it, since it won't absorb odors or flavors, and you can braise, sauté, simmer, and bake in it. Made in China to Lodge's meticulous specifications, each cookware item is first clad in matte black enamel before the color is added. The black rim that shows on the oven is actually the scratch-resistant matte enamel, not the raw cast iron. Though the Dutch oven is dishwasher-safe, washing by hand is recommended to best preserve the glossy finish. Look also for the pricier Lodge Enamel series, with its unique L-shaped lid knob, in a different set of colors and sizes to suit any kitchen. All Lodge enameled ware is covered by a lifetime warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri
