Yeah! It is this time of the year. I love it when the months end with "ber". That means all the holidays and festivals are on their way! We just celebrated Mid-Autumn. Diwali and Halloween are just around the corner.
I still prefer toasting whole spices and grinding them up. It permeates a trail of amazing aroma compared to those store-bought pre-ground. And you probably know what's coming next. Stay tuned.
