7 posts on essential spices and spice mixes

While blogging about recipes, I often get stuck on spices. Explaining a spice or spice-mix within a recipe makes it all so complicated :) So ...I just draft the recipe and procrastinate :p well the plan is to put up a few posts on spices before posting those pieces :) So, here I go on my take on essential spices in a Bong *cookie's? :p cabinet.
[* cookie (noun)- meaning - a baked food made of flour(s), shortening, and seasoning (sweet or salt);
cookie (adjective) - one who loves to cook..... well stop squinting ...someone has to smoothen a few absurdities that rule the English language. If a food lover is a foodie, one who loves to cook is a COOKIE! Yes Sir! too bad if they already have labeled it somewhere else]

We'll talk about some essential Bengali spices ..... started a few weeks back with my Panchforan, chutney masala, and shukto masala. I will start with a list of basic Indian spices, a few more basic spices, add a few garam masalas, and roasted bengali all spice, punjabi spices, and spice pastes.

Enjoy!
