Guest-blogging at Mahanandi, Anjali explores the many uses of cloves, ranging from masala powders to tea to toothpaste!
Cloves are an essential ingredient in many masala powders and used as whole or ground in traditional Indian recipes. Béchamel sauce, one of the mother sauces in French cuisine, is made with something called Onion piqué (pee-kay). Onion piqué is a peeled, raw onion that is studded with bay leaves and cloves. Onion piqué is a simple way to flavor the sauces and the soups.
