Cloves - How to Make Cloves Powder | The Strong Bitter Sweet Spice
Clove Powder has a sweet and slightly bitter taste that is optimal for baking or in savoury cooking. You can add clove powder to spice seasoning mixes for baking or for savoury cooking such as soups, stews, and braises. You can add cloves to your spice seasoning blends like Garam Masala and meat rubs.
Ingredients
- 2 Cup Cloves Laung or Lavanga
Instructions
- Put a non-stick frying pan on the flame.
- Maintain the heat on medium.
- Add half of the cloves (1 cup) to the heated pan.
- Dry roast the cloves stirring regularly.
- When the cloves start releasing their fragrance, get them off the pan.
- Cool them down completely then transfer to a clean mixer-grinder dry grinder jar.
- Grind to a fine powder (this may take up to two iterations).
- Store in an airtight container, preferably a glass container.
Notes
- If available try and use unripe clove buds of organic nature.
- After grinding, clove powder is likely to loose flavour if stored for a long time.
- Try integrating a few servings of cloves per week into your meals.
