TongueBite Star Anise Whole (Chakri Phool)

TongueBite Star Anise Whole is a 200g pack of whole star anise for recipes that use this spice in slow cooking, rice dishes, masala blends, tea and desserts. The whole form is suited for dishes where the spice is added during cooking and removed or served as preferred, such as biryani, pulao, curries and simmered beverages.
Use it in Indian cooking for mutton biryani, garam masala, Chettinad mutton curry and other masala-based curries where whole spices build the base of the dish. It also works in Asian-style recipes such as Malaysian style chicken curry, tea leaf eggs and five-spice chicken, where star anise is part of the spiced cooking liquid or marinade.
For beverages, add whole star anise while brewing masala chai or spiced tea so it can steep with ginger, cinnamon, cardamom or other recipe spices. For vegetarian dishes, it can be simmered in spiced carrot soup, glazed tofu, braised red cabbage and similar slow-cooked preparations where a whole spice can be removed before serving.
The pack can also support occasional baking and dessert recipes such as pizzelles, lebkuchen, star anise-honey cookies and spiced poached pears. Use the whole spice according to the recipe method; where a recipe calls for ground star anise, grind the whole pieces as required. Keep the pack closed after use and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct moisture.
