Marinate
Friends it's very fruitful discussion and information given in course ,I knew many new terminologies,the first term I want to discuss that,s marination,we all knew the tram and practice it according to the recipe need , Usually in this way chicken or beef leaves for some hours incorporate with spices and curd and different hurbs as you like to add in your marination process well I define more by my own experience.Tje basic aim of marination is that to tender and made the meat or minced more tasty and full of flavors because 2 to 4 hours all spices and ingredients absorbed and tamping flavor and delicious taste guaranteed .

En este aspecto es evidente que tienes un gran manejo porque tienes una gran variedad de especias en casa, me encanta ver esos envases llenos de estos polvos, hojas y semillas maravillosos.
Siempre he querido tener las semillas de comino, solo los consigo en polvo ya molido.
El cardamomo he tenido la oportunidad de probarlo y me encanta su sabor en dulces, no sabía que había dos variedades.
Tus preparaciones maceradas y estofados con estas deliciosas mezclar de especias y hierbas deben tener un potente sabor.
Gracias por la invitación, te auguro un gran éxito, ha sido una excelente participación, espero estar pronto por aquí.

Dalam memasak daging saya suka memakai jintan putih yang ukurannya lebih besar sedikit dari jintan hitam, kalau kami menyebutnya jara mameh (jintan putih) jara engkot (jintan hitam) saya kurang suka aroma jintan engkot, karena baunya sangat menyengat. Tapi ibu saya jika masak ikan selalu menggunakannya. Sukses buat anda sualeha.
