food.
Piquant flavors stimulate salivation and promote digestion.
Spices
may be used ground or whole, fried or roasted, dry or as paste, at
the end or in the beginning of the cooking, alone or with combination.

Indian spices can be mixed in specific amounts to make Spice Mixtures

Masala. Spices add zest to food, enhance the taste and delight the
gourmet. Spices are even used as preservatives, aphrodisiacs and in
traditional medicines. Spices are derived from different parts of plants
e.g. flowers, fruits, leaves, seeds, rhizomes, roots, buds and even
the bark. India produces almost all the spices, largely owing to its
varying climate and soil conditions. The classic Indian curry often
combines the following spices - coriander, turmeric, cumin,
ginger, garlic as well as other spices.
Spices are used as flavoring agent in food or drinks, although many
spices have additional commercial uses, e.g., as ingredients of medicines,
perfumes, incense, and soaps.
It is also used as a condiment. Spices
are taken from the part of the plant richest in flavor—bark,
stem, flower bud, fruit, seed, or leaf. Spices and herbs are good
not only for our
taste buds but also for our health. They supply calcium, iron, vitamin
B, vitamin C , carotene and other antioxidants.
