Cinnamon is another popular spice used in both savory and desserts. From the yummy cinnamon rolls to the most favorite biriyanis, Cinnamon is used in a variety of dishes. If the food has got the Cinnamon magic, we always have a reason to drool over the dishes!

Cloves are used often in Indian cuisine for their rich flavor and spicy aroma. They are used in a variety of Indian meat, rice and vegetable dishes. You’ll find ground clove in garam masala. They have important nutrients, high in antioxidants, and may help protect against cancer.
