Cloves (Laung)

Cloves (Laung)

Strong, warm, and intensely aromatic, cloves are a powerful spice used across Indian cooking. From biryanis and garam masala to teas and festive dishes, Laung adds depth and richness with just a small quantity. Its bold flavour slowly unfolds during cooking, enhancing both aroma and taste.

Myth Buster:
❌ Using more cloves gives better flavour
✅ Truth: Cloves are very potent — even 1 or 2 are enough to transform a dish. Too many can overpower other spices.

Chef’s Tip:
Lightly crack the cloves before adding to hot oil or ghee to release their natural oils and aroma.
