How to Get the Most from These Spices

Toast Whole Spices Before Grinding
A quick dry toast in a pan before grinding releases more aroma than using pre-ground powder straight away.

Bloom Spices in Oil
Heating whole spices like cinnamon, cloves, or cardamom in hot oil at the start of cooking draws out their flavour before other ingredients are added.

Adjust Heat Gradually
With several chilli options ranging from Kashmiri to extra hot, start with a smaller amount and build up rather than overcommitting early in the dish.

Store Properly
Keep ground spices in airtight containers away from direct light to preserve colour and potency for longer.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between TRS Chilli Powder and Kashmiri Chilli Powder?
Kashmiri chilli powder is milder and adds deep red colour, while regular chilli powder carries more direct heat.

Can I use whole spices instead of ground spices in any recipe?
Not always interchangeably. Whole spices need time to release flavour, so they suit slow cooking better than quick recipes that call for ground spice.

What is Laziza Biryani Masala used for?
It is a ready-made spice blend designed specifically for cooking biryani, balancing aromatics and heat for rice-based dishes.

What is Kasoori Methi used for?
Dried fenugreek leaves are typically crushed and added near the end of cooking to finish curries and dal with a distinct, slightly bitter aroma.

Is TRS Extra Hot Chilli Powder very spicy?
Yes, it is one of the hotter options in this collection, so it is best added gradually if you are unsure of your spice tolerance.
