Well, here comes the time to continue my story on "Masala method" - the art of cooking spices. This time I want to tell you how to prepare spice mixtures such as "Curry", "Tandoori masala" and others. This is the most popular mixture in India and among professional cooks of the highest skill. Using it in dishes is almost always a success, giving them a unique flavor nuances and an absolutely amazing aroma.

In the past, of course, a little bit of adjika was made by pounding everything in a mortar or finely chopping it with a knife while gazing at the mountains and pondering the meaning of life. But modernity dictates its own terms. We have less and less time and more and more equipment in the kitchen. I've been using the recipe for this adjika for more than 10 years. It used to be available in stores, but then it disappeared and came back in the form of a substitute, which probably had only salt left from my favorite adjika... That's why, for many years now, I've been making this adjika myself. I often use it in my recipes. Several people in recent days have asked me for a recipe for ajika. Happy to share.

Garlic powder is a great flavor and aroma additive. It's especially important in the days leading up to the New Year to have a variety of spices in the kitchen to create unique dishes!

And for the sake of 150-200 grams of garlic do not want "to run" for a few hours quite powerful equipment such as an oven! The microwave will help us get this done in a matter of minutes! P/S. Not too long ago I created a question in "Q&A" about drying garlic in the microwave... I have not received an answer and then began to look for information on other sources, but I have not found in the entire internet not a single word about this method. Here is a personal experience has found a way out and I am pleased to share it with you!

It's no news to anyone when it comes to preserving fruits and vegetables by drying - this is probably the oldest method. The pepper itself..

Strawberry chips are dried strawberry slices that retain the flavor and benefits of fresh berries. They are used in baked goods and desserts, added to tea, cereals, yoghurt, bran, and other dishes, and of course, eaten as an individual product. And also from strawberry chips you can make an unusual powder, which is essentially a natural flavoring and dye. The scope of application of strawberry powder is also very wide: together with salt you get a wonderful seasoning for meat, poultry and fish; the powder can be used as an additive in salad dressings, together with powdered sugar for sprinkling pastries, and if you add it to cream or dough, then they will acquire not only a divine flavor, but also a beautiful pink color.
