The aroma of Nepalese spices
Description
For me, spices that are found here in Mannheim, still connect me to my homeland. They are important for my daily life. I use them as my cooking ingredients and sometimes also as home remedies. Here, I present to you jeera powder (cumin), dhania powder (coriander), besar or turmeric powder, chilli powder and garam masala. The soothing feeling and the smell of spices combined with other smells make me feel like I am back home in my mother’s kitchen. These spices not only make our dishes what they are, but literally keep us alive.
