Traditional Ground Spice Preparations
The preparation of ground spices has been popular across the country for many centuries. Every Indian household has a mortar and a pestle that is used for preparing dry and wet ground spices.
This handmade or manual process of spice preparation has a few distinct advantages and benefits.
- The first advantage is making small amounts of spices that will be used in daily cooking preparations.
- There are no leftovers available for stale use later.
- Handmade ground spices manually crushed on the stone mortar and pestle retain a high flavor of the spices.
- Due to the hand-grounding methods the medicinal and food value inherent in each spice is preserved.
- The oil content of the spices is also retained for maximum flavor and health benefits.
- To ensure that harmful parts of the spices are not used these spices are often mixed with water to make a paste. This paste is sieved through when added to food preparations.
Modern Masala Preparations
The popularity and usefulness of Indian masalas have increased their demand among consumers. In a modern lifestyle, there is not much time in the hands of consumers to prepare the masalas in a traditional method.
Commercial production of masalas is done with large units for grinding spices.
- Modern masala preparation is carried out by companies as well as at homes with electrically operated mixers and grinders.
- These are effective for preparing a small or large amount of ground spices in less time.
- The high heat of the machine-operated process may affect the flavor level of each spice.
- It is an easy method of quickly preparing spice blends for everyday cooking with busy schedules.
- The covered machines used for homes and industrial production ensure higher hygiene and food safety levels.
- Industrial production sieves the ground masalas to package only the finely ground soft spices and leave out the hardcovers or shells that do not grind to a fine powder.
- It helps to effectively segregate the beneficial part of the spice from the harmful or indigestible portions of the seeds and spices.
