Cassia Quills (Dalchini)

Cassia Quills (Dalchini)

Warm, bold, and aromatic, Cassia quills are a staple in Indian kitchens, especially for biryanis, curries, and spice blends. With a stronger, slightly sweet heat than regular cinnamon, cassia adds depth and richness to slow-cooked dishes and festive recipes.

Myth Buster:
❌ Cassia and cinnamon are exactly the same
✅ Truth: Cassia has a stronger flavour and darker colour, making it ideal for Indian savoury cooking.

Chef’s Tip:
Break the quill slightly before adding it to hot oil or ghee to release maximum aroma.
