Health Benefits of Indian Cooking Aids
- Tamarind: Rich in antioxidants, tamarind helps in digestion, supports heart health, and is a good source of magnesium and potassium, which regulate blood pressure.
- Jaggery: A natural sweetener loaded with iron, jaggery improves digestion, detoxifies the liver, and boosts immunity by helping the body fight infections.
- Edible Gum (Gond): Often used in winter recipes, edible gum is known to strengthen bones, improve stamina, and enhance energy levels. It's commonly used in energy-rich snacks.
- Hing (Asafoetida): Known for its digestive benefits, hing helps reduce bloating, gas, and indigestion. It is also an anti-inflammatory agent and boosts respiratory health.
- Rose Water and Kewra Water: Used in desserts and drinks, both are known for their calming properties, improving digestion, and providing hydration to the body.
- Coconut Milk: A rich source of healthy fats, coconut milk boosts metabolism, strengthens immunity, and supports cardiovascular health.
How To Properly Store Indian Cooking Aids For Maximum Freshness
- Always store cooking aids in airtight containers to prevent exposure to moisture and air, which can cause spoilage and reduce flavor.
- Keep items in a cool, dry area, away from direct sunlight. Excess heat or humidity can negatively affect the shelf life of many cooking aids.
- Some items, like ghee, jaggery, and coconut milk, can last longer when stored in the refrigerator, especially after opening. It helps prevent them from going rancid or losing freshness.
- Label containers with the date of purchase or opening. This will help track how long they’ve been stored and prevent the use of expired products.
- Use clean, dry utensils when handling cooking aids to avoid introducing moisture or bacteria, which can cause early spoilage.
- Regularly check stored cooking aids for expiration dates or signs of spoilage, like discoloration, off-smells, or mold.
How To Make Your Indian Cooking Aids At Home
- Garam Masala: To make your own garam masala, dry roast whole spices like cinnamon, cardamom, cumin, coriander, and cloves. Once fragrant, grind them into a fine powder and store in an airtight container for future use.
- Tamarind Paste: Soak tamarind in warm water for about 15-20 minutes. Once softened, strain the pulp through a sieve to remove seeds and fiber. Store the thick paste in the fridge for adding tangy flavor to curries and chutneys.
- Ghee: To make ghee at home, melt unsalted butter in a pan over low heat. Simmer until the milk solids separate and turn golden brown. Strain the liquid through a fine sieve and store the clarified ghee in a jar. Ghee can last for months and adds richness to both Indian and European dishes.
- Ginger-Garlic Paste: Peel and blend equal parts ginger and garlic with a little oil until smooth. This paste is a foundational ingredient for curries and marinades and can be stored in the fridge for a couple of weeks or frozen for longer use.
- Spice Mixes: You can create spice blends such as chaat masala or curry powder by mixing roasted ground spices like cumin, coriander, black salt, and dried mango powder. Tailor these blends to your taste and store them for quick meal prep.
