January 19: a new way of using some wonderful flavors

Totally new for my cooking style: These gorgeous spices went into the curry pot whole tonight.

I'd never bruised a cardamom pod before, so that was a first. I'd never heard whole mustard seeds pop in the pan, so that was a first. And I'd never tossed whole cumin seeds into anything before, so that, too, was a first.

Beautiful flavors on their own, they complement each other perfectly! And no need to grind or chop to release the flavors.

Thanks to Kim at Affairs of Living for a fantastic recipe: zucchini curry with amaranth-basmati pilaf.
